This was my 79th book finished in 2025.
It was like listening to an Alice Roberts documentary. Very soothing.
It was very engaging and covered all kinds of interesting history, archaeology and biology. I had no idea about palaeopathology or archaeogenomics, but they seem very interesting.
It had such a seemless mixture of archaeology and history. It was so refreshing to hear something which didn't solely rely on historical records.
I got slightly lost when it came to talking about proteins etc; biology was never my strong suit. Occasionally, the subject sat just a bit too long on one thing, and it dragged a little bit.
I'd definitely be interested in checking out her other books.
