About The Book
A revolution is underway in archaeology. Working at the cutting edge of genetic and molecular technologies, researchers have been probing the building blocks of ancient life-DNA, proteins, fats-to rewrite our understanding of the past.

Who first domesticated horses and ancient grasses? What was life like for our ancestors? Here is science at its most engaging.
