The 7 Daughters of Eve can be divided into 2 major parts. In the first, Sykes discusses some of his most fascinating work. He relives how he and his colleagues extracted ancient DNA from the 5000-year-old Ötzi the Iceman, examines his work on understanding the origins of the Polynesians, and tells how he and his team discovered the true fate of Tsar Nicholas II and the Romanovs. With each story, Sykes easily manages to explain the scientific details behind his conclusions in a way that nearly any reader can comprehend.
