    About this ebook

    Who We Are And How We Got Here is an unprecedented study of the ancient DNA that revolutionizes our perception of our origins as a species. Author David Reich takes the readers to discover how the human genome unlocks the hidden history of the homo sapiens.
    In his book Who We Are and How We Got Here, David Reich brings his readers to a discovery about how the human genome provides rich information about the human embryo, its developments and the hidden story of our species. David Reich delves into how the genomic revolution is further transforming the modern understanding of how DNA studies are revealing the deep inequalities between the sexes and among different populations. Reich's book provocatively suggests that there might very well be biological differences among the human populations but these differences will unlikely conform to the common stereotypes the world has.
    Who We Are and How We Got Here is a glimpse into where the humankind came from and what this says about the lives we live today.


    In this comprehensive look into Who We Are and How We Got Here: Ancient DNA and the New Science of the Human Past by David Reich, you'll gain insight with this essential resource as a guide to aid your discussions. Be prepared to lead with the following:
