Paabo book7/4/2023 ![]() Neanderthal genes offer a unique window into the lives of our ancient relatives and hold the key to unlocking the mysteries of where language came from as well as why humans survived while Neanderthals went extinct. Beginning with the study of DNA in Egyptian mummies in the early 1980's and culminating in the sequencing of the Neanderthal genome in 2010, 'Neanderthal Man' describes the events, intrigues, failures, and triumphs of these scientifically rich years through the lens of the pioneer and inventor of the field of ancient DNA. "A preeminent geneticist hunts the Neanderthal and Denisovan genomes to answer the biggest question of them all: How did our ancestors become human?
