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。

That’s how Wales found that 16 million men are cousins ,their Y chromosomes all show/ the same mutations. That means they are all descendent from one single man, a Central Asian super ancestor. But who was he? Wales and other genetic detectives piece together the clues. The mutations cluster around one place, Mongolia. They traced almost a thousand year ago.

Scientists believe he must have been a man of power with many sons passed on his family line. The clues all point to one man, Genghis Khan. The evidence is circumstantial but compelling . Khan's empire/ stretched from Kazakstan to Korea. He ruled the dynasty that lasted generations. His sons and their sons had the power and decision to spread his Y chromosome. As his army swept through Central Asia, he cut down their enemies, and often, it’s said, took their women. A result, more offspring with Genghis Khan’s Y chromosome and other men's,let me /,destroyed forever.

Genghis Khan’s DNA has buried with him in an unknown grave. But his Y chromosome mutations survive in his descendants today. The research shows the Y chromosome can take us back hundreds of years. But to find scientific Adam, we must trace a man from our very beginning who fathered / not millions but billions.

The payoff is almost unimaginable. And / Adam, who may have been the first truly modern human, whose in we can pinpoint, whose face we can reconstruct. This is a scientific quest. yet the idea behind our research, was first written down in a document of faith--the Bible. Thousands of years before genetics, the book of Genesis tells of one man who fathered us all. The Bible gives no physical description of Adam, saying only that he is created out of / dust in God's image. Adam’s rib provides the raw material for the first woman, Eve. God gives them home--the Garden of Eden. But soon tempted by a serpent, Adam and Eve eat from the Tree of Knowledge.
