  2. 2. A Short History Of Humanity

    Drawing on ancient DNA and recent genetic research, this book traces the deep history of our species, showing how waves of migration, interbreeding with archaic humans, and the spread of farming and later steppe populations reshaped Europe and Eurasia; it connects these biological movements to cultural change, language shifts, epidemics and technological revolutions, and argues that genomics is rewriting traditional narratives about where we come from and how modern populations and identities formed.
