As the report declares Sykes’ book provides an everyman version of what the field of mitochondrial DNA research has to offer, but still retains some of the human failings to which such a subjective account is prone.

This paper stresses that Having started his career seeking the answers to severe diseases such as brittle bone disease as a professor of genetics at the Institute of Molecular Medicine in Oxford, Sykes was distracted into more archeological genetics when he met up with Robert Hedges, the scientist who headed up the carbon dating laboratory for archeological samples at Oxford. One of the first scientists to have ever worked with DNA in archeology, Sykes has led numerous projects that qualify him as one of the pre-eminent scientists in the field. Following his investigations with the Iceman, Sykes helped trace the mitochondrial DNA of Polynesians to trace their ancestry back to the Asian continent rather than the American continents and demonstrated that if anything remains of the Neanderthals, it does not exist within the DNA of any of the modern men. The Seven Daughters of Eve follows the author through his introduction to mitochondrial DNA through his final conclusion that the entire European population is descended from one of seven ‘clan mothers’ and the implications such a discovery has brought. “The book is written with the lay-person in mind, although it offers enough detail to keep the scientifically inclined engaged, as well”.
