Shtate vajzat e Eves-Bryan Sykes

Kerkues te Oxford University(me ne krye prof.Bryan Sykes) kane arritur te reduktojne njerezimin ne 7 ekzemplare femra ne pika te ndryshme ne bote.Para ca kohesh cova kerkese te me sillnin materialet prove nga Oxford University per te ju dhene nje provete me material ADN-je timin per te pare se nga cila "Eve" e kemi prejardhjen ne shqipetaret,mirepo ne momentin qe pashe cmimin e analizave dhe perfundimeve...Ã_yÃ_.Keshtu qe si perfundim(te pakten momentalisht) u kufizova tek leximi i librit te Sykes,jua keshilloj,vertete ja vlen.

The Seven Daughters of Eve is a book by Bryan Sykes that presents the theory of Human mitochondrial genetics to a general audience. Sykes explains the principles of genetics and human evolution, the particularities of mitochondrial genetics, and analyses of ancient DNA to genetically link modern humans to prehistoric ancestors.

Following the developments of mitochondrial genetics, Sykes traces back human migrations, discusses the out of Africa theory and refutes Heyerdahl's theory of the Peruvian origin of the Polynesians, opposing an Indonesian origin. He also describes the use of mitochondrial DNA in identifying the remains of Czar Nicholas II, and in assessing the genetic makeup of modern Europe.

The title of the book comes from one of the principal achievements of mitochondrial genetics, which is the classification of all modern humans into mitochondrial haplogroups. Each haplogroup is defined by set of characteristic mutations on the mitochondrial genome, and can be traced along a person's maternal line to a specific prehistoric woman. Sykes refers to these women as "clan mothers", though these women did not all live concurrently, and indeed some "clan mothers" are descended from others. All these women in turn shared a common ancestor, the so-called Mitochondrial Eve.

The second half of the book is spent on a series of fictional narratives, written by Sykes, describing his creatives guesses about the lives of each of these seven "clan mothers". This latter half generally met with mixed reviews in comparison with the first part.
