...turned a corner, and the whole mass of bodies came into view. The smell was overpowering, the sight unworldly. There were no marks of violence, no blood. Only a few bodies showed the gruesome signs of cyanide rictus. Outside there were three dead dogs, poisoned. Down the road in a large cage was 'Mr. Muggs,' the commune's pet gorilla. He had been shot. In a tree-shaded area was Jones' home, a three-room bungalow. Bodies were scattered through all three rooms, some on beds, others on the floor. The quiet was broken only by the meowing...

In 1420 a cult of Bohemians called the Adamites came to regard themselves, like the Manson gang, as avenging angels. They set about making holy war to cut down the unclean; blood, they said, must flood the world to the height of a horse's head. They were finally exterminated after committing uncounted murders.

Their evidence is not ancient bones, but what the University of California's Vincent Sarich calls a "genetic clock." That timepiece is based on comparative studies, done since the early 1960s, of the blood proteins, immunology and DNA (the genetic molecule) of various mammals, including the primates. Out of this work scientists have been able to measure the degree of genetic kinship among different species. They have found, for example, that while the genes of horse and Homo sapiens differ by as much...
