在我们独一无二的基因组中，我们每个人都承载着人类这个物种的演进史诗——出生、死亡、疾病、战争、饥荒、迁徙，以及大量的性。但这些故事过去始终深锁其中——直到今天。我们的先祖是谁？他们来自何方？遗传学家摇身一变成了历史学家，而我们DNA中的确凿证据彻底颠覆了我们自以为早已知晓的认知。知名科普作家Adam Rutherford精准阐述了基因组学如何彻底改写了人类故事——从十万年前一直追溯至今。A Brief History of Everyone Who Ever Lived将颠覆你对尼安德

……TL;DR：白人在基因上比黑人更聪明。（说实话：我是个白人父亲，有个黑人女儿……在我看来这书纯属扯淡）话虽如此：如果你对遗传学感兴趣，我推荐《A Brief History of Everyone Who Ever Lived》，这本书用的是货真价实的科学，而且内容新得多：https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/30135182-a-brief-history... 作者文笔风趣且有见地，虽然稍微有点辞藻华丽。作为书评人……
…TL;DR; White people are genetically smarter than black people. (To be transparent: I'm a white father to a black daughter... the book is bull shit IMHO) That said: If you enjoy genetics, I'd recommend "A Brief History of Everyone Who Ever Lived", which uses actual science and is much more recent: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/30135182-a-brief-history... The author's style is entertaining and insightful, although a bit flowery. As a reviewer…
我强烈推荐读读 Adam Rutherford 写的《A Brief History of Everyone Who Ever Lived》。如果我没记错（IIRC），里面有一整章专门讲 GWASs（读作 jee-wazzes）。有些表型（特征）显然可以与少数几个基因关联起来（比如……
I would highly recommend reading 'A brief history of everyone who ever lived' by Adam Rutherford. IIRC it contains a whole chapter on GWASs (pronounced jee-wazzes). There are some phenotypes (characteristics) which clearly can be associated with a small number of genes (e.g.…
如果你想对近期的遗传学研究成果有个极佳的概览，不妨看看 Adam Rutherford 的《A Brief History of Everyone Who Ever Lived: The Stories in Our Genes》。简单来说，哪怕是大普媒体上最谨慎、最克制的说法，也夸大了我们对于基因与现实世界之间关联的真实认知程度……
If you want a very good summary of recent genetics research results, have a look at Adam Rutherford's A Brief History of Everyone Who Ever Lived: The Stories in Our Genes. Basically, even the most careful and underwhelming claims from the popular press overstate how much we actually understand about the connection between genes and real world…
……预测人类有多少个基因。猜得最接近的人可以赢得彩池奖金和一瓶苏格兰威士忌。Lee Rowen 凭借 25,947 这个数字赢得了赌局。而真实数字大约在 20,000 左右。——Adam Rutherford，《A Brief History Of Everyone Who Ever Lived》，2016 年
…predict how many genes a human has. The prize for the nearest guess was the pot and a bottle of scotch. The winning bet, by Lee Rowen, was 25,947. The real number is around 20,000. -Adam Rutherford, A Brief History Of Everyone Who Ever Lived 2016
