THE
SEVEN DAUGHTERS OF EVE
(The Science that Reveals our Genetic Ancestry)
by Bryan Sykes.
Regarding DNA discoveries, written by the
Oxford scientist, Bryan Sykes. Completely readable, even
given the scientific and physiological terms. Very
exciting reading.
|
These two
books have been somewhat discredited, but I think it fair
to list them here.
Perhaps if nothing else, to introduce Plecker and his
philosphy regarding race.
