Sehr gut geschrieben, verständlich und sogar spannend. Manche Erklärungen verlaufen etwas im Sande.

Entweder lag es am Schreibstil bzw. der Informationsdichte des Buches oder meiner Konzentrationsfähigkeit, jedenfalls fiel es mir schwer dem Buch zu folgen und nicht schon beim nächsten Satz wieder zu vergessen, was im vorherigen stand. Dafür fand ich den Schluss mit dem Bezug zur aktuellen Lage und dem Ausblick in die Zukunft hervorragend.

Absorbing & fascinating. So much new information. We gave cows TB, seals brought TB to the Americas. Steppes people's DNA got to the Americas 10000 years before the Steppes people's DNA got to Europe (Mal'ta Boy) Africans do not have Neanderthal n Denisovan DNA . Australians have 7 per cent Neanderthal n Denisovan DNA . There is a gene for tolerance to lactose . And so much more interesting titbits...

The title of this book is unfortunate, as it ignores the fact that its focus is Europe and not “Humanity” as a whole. The subtitle clarifies, but most of the world is left out of the category of humanity. But if you’re interested in the ancient migration into Europe, this is a solid, if broad explanation of archeogenetics. I wish the authors had been clear about when they were talking about autosomal DNA admixtures instead of just having that be the default for “DNA,” as it seemed they did. There was little discussion of Y-DNA, very disappointing for me, since it’s my area of study. Overall, a good non-technical book for the scientifically curious, although likely not detailed enough for those who are involved in genetic genealogy.
