Someone just asked me what my favorite book this past year was. This is it. The author borrows from linguistics, archeology, genetics, and other disciplines to trace the history of the first small human group to successfully make its way out of the African continent and slowly, slowly spread through Europe and Asia, and the world. I love science, but it isn't my field. The book was captivating, readable, approachable, and introduced me to many ideas that made their way to our dinner table.

Great book, examines many aspects of human pre-history in light of recent genetic study techniques. The author doesn't let the lack of DNA evidence keep him from speculation.
