The Experiment

The Experiment Independent publisher of a wide range of nonfiction and popular science. Our scale is intimate, our books far-reaching. Follow us on Twitter

We are an independent publisher, launched in 2009, focused on a wide range of nonfiction—much of it practical—including food (and how to grow, cook, and enjoy it), health and fitness, psychology and personal development, parenting, relationships, sexuality, personal finance, science, and nature. We’re called The Experiment because every book is a test of new ideas—and because we’re motivated by th

e curiosity and wonder of the unknown that drive every scientific experiment. Our books enlighten, empower, and entertain readers with new or freshly presented ideas, stories, and practices.

In December 2010, scientists discovered a fragment of a finger bone in an isolated cave in Siberia. To their surprise, the bone contained neither Homo sapiens nor Neanderthal DNA. Rather, the DNA came from a previously unknown species of hominids—the Denisovans. In THE SECRET WORLD OF DENISOVANS, paleogenetic researcher Silvana Condemi and science journalist François Savatier uncover the Denisovans' story, revealing how they migrated across the globe and why modern humans contain up to 5 percent of Denisovan DNA.
