In The Invisible History of the Human Race Christine Kenneally explores things that can be passed down. The book is an exploration of concepts related to genealogy both in the refined about me way and in the larger history of the whole human race way. She starts the book by exploring what people think gets passed down, moves on to discuss the passing of ideas and culture down generations, and then branches into the biological side of things by discussing the passage of DNA between generations. The book is interesting and aimed at the non-scientist (& non-geneticist). While some of her conclusions did not convince me the background she provided was fascinating and her book did cause me to think.All in all a book I would recommend to someone interested in biology, genealogy or non-fiction writing.
