Summary Science writer Adam Rutherford explains exactly how genomics is completely rewriting the human story--from 100,000 years ago to the present. Rutherford closes with "A Short Introduction to the Future of Humankind," filled with provocative questions that we're on the cusp of answering: Are we still in the grasp of natural selection? Are we evolving for better or worse? And . . . where do we go from here?
