A Brief History of Everyone Who Ever Lived: The Human
Story Retold Through Our Genes by Adam Rutherford |
Book Summary | Readtrepreneur
(Disclaimer: This is NOT the original book but an unofficial summary.)
The power of DNA and the information it holds is immense. Imagine using that
information to discover our past.
In our genomes, every one of us holds the history of our species – births, deaths, disease, war,
famine, migration and sex. We are much more than our DNA but our DNA holds the keys to
our past.

"This is a story about you. It concerns the tale of who you
are and how you came to be." – Adam Rutherford
By sequencing the DNA of living people, we can obtain historical information that would
otherwise remain unknown. History is shortsighted and can be flawed, family stories may be
changed, but your DNA could never be altered nor could it ever lie. As author Adam Rutherford
said, your DNA gives you your story and the story of your entire species. By sequencing only
one person you can obtain more information than from any other source combined.
Adam Rutherford stresses the importance of the time period you are observing.
"For comparison, the book you are holding is around 115,000 words, or 685,000
characters long, including spaces. If the length of time has existed were
represented at this book, each character, including spaces is around 5,597 years.
Anatomically, modern humans' tenure on Earth is equivalent to … the precise
length of this phase. The time we have been recording history is an evolutionary
wing-flap equivalent to a single character, the width of this period ." DNA on
the other hand has no time or memory limit.
P.S. A Brief History of Everyone Who Ever Lived is an extremely interesting book which
will help you locate your ancestors and "travel through time".

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5
People end up having less qualities than a roundworm. Or then again a banana. Or then again a grain of rice. However researchers had no suspicion our supplement of qualities was so small. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I can write nowhere near other reviewers, but I am finding this book full of plausible information. Humorous as some earlier reviewers have written, it answers many of my questions about the march of mankind across the globe. And clearly proclaims: that's not all there is.
Some detail becomes burdensome. But I assume necessary for the student of evolution of man.
Certainly this is a book for your history shelf.
