Förlagets beskrivning
This enticing memoir recounts the saga of an evolutionary geneticist, who, being unable to get an evolutionary answer, within our DNA and fossil bones, for the sudden emergence of human intellect, some 50,000 years ago, dares to walk away from the intellectual mindset of our time and venture into the realm of ancient myths. And fortuitously, from the secret name of God to Adam's forefather, to legendary divs, she comes across many enigmatic subjects worthy of renewed attention. Her interest in ancient creation myths was aroused recently, when revisiting some old folk tales on the Internet, which she had heard about in her childhood. It made her realize the remarkable relevance of these stories to our current evolutionary discussions. So she decided to write a book about the old and the new versions of our elusive distant past. Ironically by the time she had finished her research to write this multi-faceted book about who we are as a species, she realized her own hidden quest for understanding who she is as a scientist, and witnessed her transformation from a typical scientist to an independent thinker, no longer confined to our current self-perpetuating science. From our mischievous DNA and fragmented fossil skulls, to our changing languages and transient ethnicity, to Neanderthals, divs, and Adam's first wife, this book will take the reader beyond current scientific and religious dogmas, and into a secret world of our past memories and long-forgotten ancient creation myths, where it arrives at a bizarre conjuncture about the emergence of human intellect. And thus, it poses a new riddle: Do the human mind and body have the same or separate origins, perhaps one non-evolutionary and the other evolutionary? Come walk with her and revisit the evolution of the human mind from a new perspective
