Ancestors in Our Genome: The New Science of Human Evolution by Eugene E. Harris

challenging informative slow-paced

3.5

If you’re looking for a dense primer on population genetics this is your book, otherwise pass on this one. The latter chapters, when Harris delves into Neanderthals and Denisovans, are the most interesting—but even those are a bit dry and dated. Overall, I liked it but I didn’t love it.
