An extraordinary exploration of the ancestry of Britain through
seven burial sites. By using new advances in genetics and taking us
through important archaeological discoveries, Professor Alice
Roberts helps us better understand life today. 'This is a terrific,
timely and transporting book - taking us heart, body and mind
beyond history, to the fascinating truth of the prehistoric past
and the present' Bettany Hughes We often think of Britain springing
from nowhere with the arrival of the Romans. But in Ancestors,
pre-eminent archaeologist, broadcaster and academic Professor Alice
Roberts explores what we can learn about the very earliest Britons,
from burial sites and by using new technology to analyse ancient
DNA. Told through seven fascinating burial sites, this
groundbreaking prehistory of Britain teaches us more about
ourselves and our history: how people came and went and how we came
to be on this island. It explores forgotten journeys and memories
of migrations long ago, written into genes and preserved in the
ground for thousands of years. This is a book about belonging:
about walking in ancient places, in the footsteps of the ancestors.
It explores our interconnected global ancestry, and the human
experience that binds us all together. It's about reaching back in
time, to find ourselves, and our place in the world.
