Description
There's enough DNA in our bodies to stretch roughly to Pluto and back. Somewhere in the tangle of strands are the answers to many historical mysteries about human beings that were once thought lost forever. Unraveling the genetic code hasn't been easy from its earliest days, the field of genetics has been rife with infighting, backstabbing, and controversial theories-but now scientists can finally read the astounding stories inscribed in our DNA, stories millions of years old, among them the explanation for how human beings (barely) managed to conquer the earth eons ago.
