History of genetics, what we know, how we know it, and what it will tell us soon. Most books in this 'popular science' genre are simultaneously fascinating and so-dry-they-are-a-chore-to-finish, and this book is exactly that. Get it, keep it handy, and read a bit now and then. Don't try to power through, and don't get frustrated that you can't finish it. Even in short spurts, I learned something every time I picked it up. Some of the most interesting things that stick with me are how we can use genetic comparisons to tell us something about the history of migration and what genetic testing does/does not tell us about race.
Read (slowly)
