«The Seven Daughters of Eve» is Bryan Sykes's popular science work, published by W. W. Norton & Company in hardback (320 pages, in English).
Bryan Sykes recounts how he extracted and analysed DNA from a prehistoric man found frozen in a glacier in northern Italy, over five thousand years old. The mitochondrial DNA, inherited through the maternal line, allowed him to trace the ancestry of thousands of modern Europeans back to seven prehistoric women, the «seven daughters of Eve».
First volume in the Eve and Adam series. Published on 17 July 2001; awarded the Prismas Casa de las Ciencias Prize for Science Communication in 2002.
For readers interested in genetics, human evolution and science communication.
