How DNA and History Shape Our Identities and Our Futures

The Leonard Lopate Show | Oct 20, 2014

Christine Kenneally discusses what historical artifacts and DNA reveal about where humans come from and where we may be going. Her book The Invisible History of the Human Race: How DNA and History Shape Our Identities and Our Futures  explores how everything from DNA to emotions to the stories we tell are all part of our human legacy. From ancient encounters to modern mass migrations and diseases, Kenneally looks at how the forces that shaped the history of the world also shape each human who lives in it.
