About This Item

"In a brilliant synthesis of new genetic, archaeological and climatic evidence, Stephen Oppenheimer challenges the orthodoxy by arguing that all modern non-Africans can be shown to have sprung from a single successful exodus. One migrant band of no more than a few hundred souls was forced out of its homeland by increasing salinity in the Red Sea, some 80,000 years ago, and all non-Africans today can trace their mitochondrial DNA to one woman from the group - the Out-of-Africa Eve. This is the story of that remarkable group and its great global trek." .
