Summary:  "In our unique genomes, every one of us carries the story of our species - births, deaths, disease, war, famine, migration, and a lot of sex. But those stories have always been locked away - until now. Who are our ancestors? Where did they come from? Geneticists have suddenly become historians, and the hard evidence in our DNA has blown the lid off what we thought we knew. Science writer Adam Rutherford explains how genomics is rewriting the human story - from 100,000 years ago to the present. This will upend your thinking on Neanderthals, evolution, royalty, race, and even redheads. For example, we now know that at least four human species once roamed the earth. Plus, here is the remarkable, controversial story of how our genes made their way to the Americas - one that's still being written, as ever more of us have our DNA sequenced. Filled with provocative questions that we're on the cusp of answering: Are we still in the grasp of natural selection? Are we evolving for better or worse? And, where do we go from here?"--Provided by publisher. Other authors:  Mukherjee, Siddhartha.
