From the moment it first began to contemplate the world, three
questions have occupied the human mind: Where do we come from? What
are we? Where are we going? Artists (notably Paul Gauguin),
religious thinkers, philosophers, and most recently scientists have
all searched for answers. Here, the authors describe how scientists
decipher human origin from the record encrypted in the DNA and
protein molecules. After explaining the nature of descent and the
methods available for studying genealogical relationships, they
summarize the information revealed by the molecular archives about
the Tree of Life and our location on one of its branches. The
knowledge thus gleaned allows them to draw conclusions about our
identity, our place in the living world, our future, and the
ethical implications of the changed perspective.
