iou 's review for:
Origin: A Genetic History of the Americas
by Jennifer Raff
4.5 stars. While "Origin" is an excellent book, it felt a bit dry. For example, the chapter describing how a geneticist performs a genetic analysis from ancient DNA was both extremely interesting (I learned a lot) and painfully boring (it is such a boring task!). Regardless of that issue, it is quite interesting to learn about the different theories (even the discarded ones!). What I was surprised is that there is little to no mention of the influence of South Pacific people, which I thought had an early influence in the continental peopling.
