Archaeologists are no longer searching for evidence of the human past, but they are looking for what they can find in the molecules of organic tissues, particularly ancient DNA. This work offers an overview of this science. Drawing on case studies, it shows how developments in the tracing and decoding of DNA molecules have transformed archaeology.
A different kind of past; the quest for ancient DNA; our curious cousins; final traces of life; gaining control; ending the chase; great journeys; beyond DNA; friends and relations; enemies within; the hunt goes on.
