Britain's DNA: A People's History

Alistair Moffat

0/5 ( ratings)

Based on exciting new research involving the most wide-ranging sampling of DNA ever acquired in Britain, this account traces the genetic makeup of the British Isles and its descendants and argues that its peoples are all immigrants. As the last ice age erased any trace of more ancient inhabitants, it explains that Britain’s ancestors migrated after the glaciers retreated and the land greened once more. In an epic narrative, this moving and astonishing book presents an entirely new history of Britain. In lieu of the parade of usual suspects—kings, queens, saints, warriors, and the notorious—this account is a people’s history: a narrative made from stories only DNA can tell.
