Eine Reise zu den Ursprüngen der Menschheit. Mittels der neuesten Methoden der Populationsgenetik entschlüsselt Spencer Wells die Spuren, die unsere Vorfahren in jedem von uns hinterlassen haben. Denn die Genealogie des Menschen lässt sich nun genauestens an unserer DNA ablesen. Mit seiner spannenden Recherche rund um die Welt gelingt es ihm zu beweisen, dass die vermeintlichen Unter-schiede zwischen den Menschen die Unterteilung in Rassen und Völker zu vernachlässigen sind, verglichen mit den Gemeinsamkeiten, die uns alle einen.
