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
