In the mid-1970s, scientists began using DNA sequences to reexamine the history of all life. Perhaps the most startling discovery to come out of this new field is horizontal gene transfer (HGT), or the movement of genes across species lines. For instance, we now know that roughly eight percent of the human genome arrived not through traditional inheritance from directly ancestral forms, but sideways by viral infection - a type of HGT. In The Tangled Tree David Quammen chronicles these discoveries through the lives of the researchers who made them.

In this classic volume, Peter Matthiessen exquisitely combines nature and travel writing to bring East Africa to vivid life.

This book proposes that the work of Zecharia Sitchin and others is correct, by stating that "gods" visited us from elsewhere in the remote past. Using their own genes, they genetically altered an inferior version of humankind for their own purposes and improved our stock. Humankind, with half-Terran and half-alien genes, has been placed on an accelerated evolutionary path. We have begun to eagerly emerge from racial adolescence as a direct result of this tampering. Freer describes what's in store for us as this dawning genetic enlightenment reveals the new human and racial maturity of a new...

Our understanding of the ‘tree of life’, with powerful implications for human genetics, human health and our own human nature, has recently completely changed. This book is about a new method of telling the story of life on earth - through molecular phylogenetics. It involves a fairly simple method - the reading of the deep history of life by looking at the variation in protein molecules found in living organisms. For instance, we now know that roughly eight percent of the human genome arrived not through traditional inheritance from directly ancestral forms, but sideways by viral infection.
