Origin: A Genetic History of the Americas by Jennifer Raff

3.0

---

It’s unconscionable that the fields of archeology and genetics don’t regularly work together, but here we are. Origin is a remarkably attuned and respectful read that plainly connects the genetics of the first peoples of the Americas and Caribbean. Most of the seems to be a “behind the veil” how-to-genetic and a proctor on culturally-sensitive genetics and archaeology. Although, on the whole, Origin offers thoughtful evidence of waves of multi-directional and modality migrations to what is now regarded as the Americas.
