When I first heard about it, I wasn’t quite sure what to make of Christine Kenneally’s recently published book The Invisible History of the Human Race; How DNA and History Shape Our Identities and Our Futures; the subject simply seemed too broad to be addressed in any meaningful way. However now that I’ve read through the first few chapters I must admit that while I’m still not entirely sure where her narrative will ultimately lead, the journey in itself is proving to be one rich in very interesting details.
Look for a complete review of it here in the weeks to come.
