«The Seven Daughters of Eve» is Bryan Sykes's popular science essay on human genetics, published in paperback (320 pages, in English).
Geneticist Bryan Sykes explains how mitochondrial DNA, inherited through the maternal line, allows the lineage of all humanity to be traced back to seven prehistoric women. The starting point is his study of the Iceman, over five thousand years old, whose genetic material connected with modern Europeans.
First volume in the «Eve and Adam» series. Bryan Sykes, professor of human genetics at Oxford, won the Prismas Casa de las Ciencias Prize for Science Communication with this work in 2002.
A popular science work for a general audience interested in genetics, human evolution and prehistory, with no prior knowledge of biology required.
Bryan Clifford Sykes was a British geneticist, university professor, popular-science writer, and genetic genealogy company executive. He received a fellowship at Wolfson College and a personal chair, later emeritus professorship, in human genetics at the University of Oxford.
