Description du livre Paperback. Etat : Very Good. 400 pages. The story of Europe and its peoples, told through its genetic legacy and woven together using the latest archaeolog ical findings, will fascinate anyone interested in genealogy. Ka rin Bojs grew up in a small, broken family, and at her mother's f uneral she felt this more acutely than ever. As part of the heali ng process, she decided to use DNA research to learn more about h erself, her family, and the interconnectedness of society. She we nt deep in search of her genealogy, having her DNA sequenced and tested, and effectively becoming an experimental subject. Remar kably, she was able to trace the path of her ancestors through re corded history and into prehistory. Through the course of her res earch, she met dozens of scientists working in genetic research. The narrative travels the length and breadth of Europe, from the Neanderthals of central Germany to the Cro-Magnon in France. Bojs visited the ancient caves, realizing that her direct ancestors m ust have been living in the area when the cave art was painted. A second DNA analysis later revealed she has Sami (i.e. Lapp) gene tic material in her genome, and there were further revelations ab out her hunter-gatherer, Bronze-Age, and Iron-Age relatives, incl uding the Vikings. This fresh, first-person exploration of gene s and genetics goes well beyond personal genealogy and reveals mu ch about the shared history of European peoples. N° de réf. du vendeur 2758h
