Origin: A Genetic History of the Americas 

byJennifer Raff

In Origin, Jennifer Raff presents a historical account centered on a Genetic History of the Americas. By tracing causes alongside consequences, the narrative gives readers both a grounded account and a route into the wider field of science. Throughout, the author balances an accessible narrative with the complexity needed to understand motives, constraints, and disputed interpretations. Together, these elements make Origin an accessible guide to the subject and the questions it continues to raise. The approach makes a specialized subject understandable without stripping away its tensions or ambiguity.
