Origin: A Genetic History of the Americas by Jennifer Raff

3.0

Mixed bag for me. Some parts really interesting, others didn't hold my attention very well.

The most mind-blowing new information I learned is about the "land bridge" between present-day Siberia and Alaska that the first inhabitants of the Americas crossed during the last ice age. I always pictured something fairly narrow, like the isthmus of Panama, but they now think "Beringia" was twice the size of Texas! It's all underwater now.
