Who we are and how we got here : ancient DNA and the new science of the human past

by David Reich

Advances in ancient DNA analysis have transformed the study of human prehistory. This work explores how genomic research provides a record of human migration and lineage, and how these findings reflect the history of biological differences and social inequalities.

Explains what genetics is telling us about ourselves and our complex and often surprising ancestry. Reich describes the cutting-edge findings from the past few years, and also considers the sensitivities involved in tracing ancestry, with science sometimes jostling with politics and tradition. --Book Depository.
