A groundbreaking book about how ancient DNA has profoundly changed our understanding of human history
Geneticists like David Reich have made astounding advances in the field of genomics, which is proving to be as important as archaeology, linguistics, and written records as a means to understand our ancestry.
In Who We Are and How We Got Here, Reich allows listeners to discover how the human genome provides not only all the information a human embryo needs to develop but also the hidden story of our species. Reich delves into how the genomic revolution is transforming our understanding of modern humans and how DNA studies reveal deep inequalities among different populations, between the sexes, and among individuals. Provocatively, Reich's book suggests that there might very well be biological differences among human populations but that these differences are unlikely to conform to common stereotypes.
Drawing upon revolutionary findings and unparalleled scientific studies, Who We Are and How We Got Here is a captivating glimpse into humankind - where we came from and what that says about our lives today.
A New York Times best-seller in Science Books. A #1 Amazon.com bestseller in the Biochemistry List.

The narrator is quite monotone, which to me, helps understanding the material but understandably might be a cause for boredom for some. You guessed it, this is not a funny book but a highly knowlegable and entertaining one.

The narrator is bland and monotone but I loved it because it felt like I was being told something very important! Anything jovial or up beat would've lost me all together! I'm gonna listen again and again! Definitely, a good listen!
Interesting!
