Adam's Curse: A Future Without Men

In his astonishing New York Times best-seller, The Seven Daughters of Eve, Oxford University geneticist and acclaimed popular science writer Bryan Sykes showed that nearly all Europeans are descended from seven women. Now Sykes tackles what may be the most provocative question geneticists have ever considered: Are we facing a future where men become extinct? To understand the place of men in the world, Sykes examines the critical biological building block all men have, the Y chromosome. Sykes places the Y chromosome under the microscope, revealing its secrets and showing that it possesses characteristics that could, in time, render men unnecessary. Bold, controversial, and endlessly fascinating, Adam's Curse is certain to spark discussion, provoke debate, and change what humand thought they knew about their very existence. 10 CDs 12.5 hours
