Karin Bojs grew up in a small, broken family. At her mother`s funeral she felt this more keenly than ever. As a science journalist she was eager to learn more about herself, her family & the interconnectedness of society. After all, we`re all related. & in a sense, we are all family. My European Family tells the story of Europe & its people through its genetic legacy, from the first wave of immigration to the present day, weaving in the latest archaeological findings. Karin goes deep in search of her genealogy; by having her DNA sequenced she was able to trace the path of her ancestors back through the Viking & Bronze ages to the Neolithic & beyond into prehistory, even back to a time when Neanderthals ran the European show. Travelling to dozens of countries to follow the story, she learns about early farmers in the Middle East & flute-playing cavemen in Germany & France, & a whole host of other fascinating characters. This book looks at genetics from a uniquely pan-European perspective, with the author meeting dozens of geneticists, historians & archaeologists in the course of her research. The genes of this seemingly ordinary modern European woman have a truly fascinating story to tell, & in many ways it is the true story of Europe. At a time when politics is pushing nations apart, this book shows that, ultimately, our genes will always bind us together. ...
