Around the Year in 52 Books Rejects Challenge (2023) - hosted by macknz_p

A book involving genetics, genealogy, traits, heredity, or heritage
In honor of this prompt list being for 2023, and because we have 23 chromosomes, I'm suggesting ""A book involving genetics, genealogy, traits, heredity, or heritage"". So basically, anything to do with either the science of family, or the lived experience of family — nature or nurture.

Some books that might fit here are:

Genome the Autobiography of a Species in 23 Chapters by Matt Ridley
She Has Her Mother's Laugh The Powers, Perversions, and Potential of Heredity by Carl Zimmer
Origin A Genetic History of the Americas by Jennifer Raff
The Genetic Lottery Why DNA Matters for Social Equality by Kathryn Paige Harden
Finding Family My Search for Roots and the Secrets in My DNA by Richard Hill
Genealogy by Mae Wood
The Family Tree by S.K. Grice
It's All Relative Adventures Up and Down the World's Family Tree by A.J. Jacobs
The Milkman's Son A Memoir of Family History, a DNA Mystery, and a Story of Paternal Love by Randy Lindsay
The House of Broken Angels by Luis Alberto Urrea Sarum
The Novel of England by Edward Rutherfurd
The Two-Family House by Lynda Cohen Loigman
