{"product_id":"9781559706117","title":"The Molecule Hunt: Archaeology and the Search for Ancient DNA","description":" A revolution is underway in archaeology. Working at the cutting edge of genetic and molecular technologies, researchers have been probing the building blocks of ancient life-DNA, proteins, fats-to rewrite our understanding of the past. Their discoveries (including a Mitochondrial Eve, the woman from whom all modern humans descend) and analyses have helped revise the human genealogical tree and answer such questions as: How different are we from the Neanderthals? Who first domesticated horses and ancient grasses? What was life like for our ancestors? Here is science at its most engaging.\u003cp\u003eAuthor Biography: Martin Jones has been a leader in bio-archaeological research for 25 years. He is the George Pitt-Rivers Professor of Archaeological Science at Cambridge University and was chairman of the five-year International Ancient Bio-molecule Initiative. He lives in Cambridge, England.  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Arcade Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47300910776560,"sku":"9781559706117","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781559706117_p0.gif?v=1763786997","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781559706117","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
