Summary

We are living through a revolution in knowledge. Over the last twenty years, genetics has shed new light on the history of humanity. It allows us to analyze an individual's genome, compare it with populations all over the world, then show its place in migrations across continents. Here one of the scientists at the forefront of this research, biologist Lluís Quintana-Murci, reveals how population genetics is transforming our understanding of who we are. Thanks to its many discoveries, we now know that Homo Sapiens freely mixed with other human species, including Neanderthals, which allowed them to adapt to new environments and survive disease.
