Origin: A Genetic History of the Americas by Jennifer Raff

3.0

A little disappointing. I'm a layperson and I was baffled by all the back and forth in the first third of the book. It was sort of like being at a party and talking to someone who works in a totally different field about their work politics. The middle third which lays out new theories about human habitation of the Americas was good as were the stories based on genetic finds (though maybe a bit romanticized). Also liked the section about working in the genetics lab.
