Our genetic code reveals not just our personal past, but that of our entire species and the history of life on Earth.
In "A Brief History of Everyone Who Ever Lived," Adam Rutherford explores the story of humanity through genetics. He discusses the evolution of the human species, the movement of people around the world, and how genetic discoveries are revealing new information about our past. The book challenges some common misconceptions about genetics and the idea of race, while also providing insight into how our understanding of genetics is shaping our future.
