4.0

Very well written and thought out. Olson gives a strong overview of the field of genetics for use in tracing human history. It's about 10 years old but mostly still holds up. He especially does an excellent job balancing concerns of the testing populations, the legacy of racism, and the excitement that comes from new evidence.
