The Bible was the first scientific textbook of all; & it got some things right (and plenty more wrong). Steve Jones' new book rewrites it in the light of modern science. Are we all descended from a single couple a real-life Adam & Eve? Was the Bible's great flood really a memory of the end of the Ice Age? Will we ever get back to Methuselah given that British life expectancy is still rising by six hours a day every day? Many people deny the power of faith many more the power of science. In this ground-breaking work geneticist Steve Jones explores their shared mysteries
- from the origins of life & humankind to sex age death & the end of the universe. He steps aside from the noisy debate between believers & unbelievers to show how the same questions preoccupy us today as in biblical times
- & that science offers many of the answers. Erudite & accessible The Serpent's Promise is a witty & thoughtful account of the ability & the limits of science to tell us what we are.
