Book: The Seven Daughters of Eve, by Bryan Sykes
Snacks will be available
Book is a national bestseller that reveals how we are descended from seven
prehistoric women. One of the most dramatic stories of genetic discovery
since James Watson’s The Double Helix, The Seven Daughters
of Eve reveals
the remarkable story behind a groundbreaking scientific discovery. After
being summoned in 1997 to an archaeological site to examine the remains
of a five-thousand-year-old man, Bryan Sykes ultimately was able to prove
not only that the man was a European but also that he has living relatives
in England today.
