DNA USA: A GENETIC PORTRAIT OF AMERICA

Book ID/图书代码： 06580012B58564

English Summary/英文概要： The author of The Seven Daughters of Eve turns his sights on the United States, one of the most genetically variegated countries in the world. From the blue-blooded pockets of old-WASP New England to the vast tribal lands of the Navajo, Bryan Sykes takes us on an historical genetic tour, interviewing genealogists, research anthropologists, celebrities and average Americans with compelling ancestral stories. His findings suggest: among white Americans today, evidence of African DNA is most common in the South; racial intermixing appears least in New England; of Americans whose ancestors came as slaves, virtually all have some European DNA; and European genes became present among Native Americans as early as ten thousand years ago.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 《夏娃的七个女儿》的作者将目光投向了美国——世界上基因最杂的国家之一。从古老的新格兰贵族的口袋到广大的纳瓦霍部落的土地，布赖恩·赛克斯(Bryan Sykes)带领我们来了一次古老的基因旅行，与祖谱学家、人类学研究者、名人以及拥有说服力的祖先故事的普通美国民众进行面谈。他的研究表明：在今天的美国白人中，非洲DNA在南部最常见；混合种族在新英格兰出现的最少；至于那些祖先是奴隶的美国人，他们几乎都拥有欧洲基因；而且欧洲基因早在一万年前就在印第安人中出现了。 (LNL & CK)

Awards/获奖情况：“赛克斯主要的结论漂亮的站住了脚。几乎我们所有人都是小混血。”—黛博拉·麦肯齐，《新科学家》

"Sykes stands up his main conclusions beautifully. We are (almost) all little melting pots." －Debora MacKenzie, The New Scientist
