Features: In the 21st century, life sciences are advancing rapidly. People not only have a deeper understanding of complex life phenomena but also have made breakthroughs in exploring the origins of life. It is worth mentioning that the development of molecular biology has provided a very powerful tool for this exploration. The book "Listen to the Story of Ancestors from Genes" by Professor Masami Hasegawa and others provides an in-depth yet accessible introduction to the birth and development of molecular anthropology. Against the backdrop of biological evolution and fossil evidence of human evolution, it describes the emergence, principles, related technologies, and stories of molecular anthropology through numerous vivid and interesting anecdotes and exquisite illustrations. It also weaves in the conflicts between science and religion, as well as between fossil evidence and molecular evidence, making it highly scientific and readable. The publication of this book brings an excellent popular science work on the origins and evolution of humans to Chinese readers (especially young readers).
