“Where Eve chooses to go, Adam is bound to travel.”

“Our DNA does not fade like an ancient parchment; it does not rust in the ground like the sword of a warrior long dead. It is not eroded by wind or rain, nor reduced to ruin by fire and earthquake. It is the traveller from an ancient land who lives within us all.”

“...Once again confirms that there is no such thing as genetically pure classification into different races.”

“DNA is the messenger which illuminates that connection,handed down from generation to generation,carried,literally,in the bodies of my ancestors.”

“We are all a complete mixture;yet at the same time,we are all related.Each gene can trace its own journey to a different common ancestor.This is a quite extraordinary legacy that we all have inherited from the people who lived before us.Our genes did not just appear when we were born.They have been carried to us by millions of individual lives over thousands of generations.”

“Oral myths are closer to the genetic conclusions than the often ambiguous scientific evidence of archaeology.”

“Myths have a very long memory.”
