Herbert Wells - The War Of The WorldsHerbert Wells - The War Of The Worlds

The night after a shooting star is seen streaking through the sky from Mars, a cylinder is discovered on Horsell Common in London. At first, naive locals approach the cylinder armed just with a white flag only to be quickly killed by a heat-ray, as terrifying tentacled invaders emerge. Soon, the whole of human civilisation is under threat.

Deep Ancestry - Inside the Genographic ProjectDeep Ancestry - Inside the Genographic Project

In this concise and well-written work, Wells provides an accessible introduction to genetic anthropology, the study of human history using genetic evidence.

Wells does a fantastic job distilling both genetics and genetic anthropology into straightforward topics, presenting sophisticated material accessibly without oversimplification. He gives the reader the basic concepts (Y chromosomes, mtDNA, haplogroups, genetic markers) and then proceeds to step through genographic research from its 19th-century origins to the present day. In so doing, he takes the reader back to the 170,000-year-old female genetic ancestor of every person alive today: the so-called African Eve.
