美国国家地理学会的遗传学家斯班瑟•威尔斯利用DNA技术经过多方的寻找，终于找到这位人类祖先———科学亚当。今天，他的基因已经遍布于地球上每个男人的身上。

In the beginning God created the heavens of the earth, and God said let us make man in our image.

The Bible calls him Adam, one man who fathered us all. Now genetics points to a scientific Adam. Microscopes clues in our DNA link every man on earth back to one man, one common ancestor.

To understand how this could be, we must discover scientific Adam's lost Eden. Enter his world end look him in the eye. / An unexpected crossroad of the Bible and biology were headed on the search for Adam.

We look so different, the idea that we are all related seems impossible. It's hard to belive that 6 billion people all share the same ancestor. Yet readof the world great religions Christianity Islam Judaism believe in one man fathered us all. That makes Adam a key figure in the beliefs of more than half the world .

Now science offers us a chance to find a genetic Adam. The single ancestor whose DNA survives in every man on earth today.
For the Inuit of the Arctic, to the Amerindians in Amazon. From the Nomads of the desert to the businessman of Wall Street.

Spencer Wales a geneticist of National Geographic will lead us on journey to identify the sicentific Adam. And reveal what made him so exceptional that he could father all man on earth. But how do you unravel the chain so many generation's long. A chain that lead all the way to the roots of humanities family tree .

"I really need a tool like time machine to allow me to do that, a genetic time machine
