Description

A.J. Jacobs has received some unusual emails over the years, but one note stood out: "You don't know me, but I'm your eighth cousin, and we have over 80,000 relatives of yours in our database." This sparked A.J.'s quest to build the biggest family tree in history. In an era of us-versus-them thinking, Jacobs's book is a humorous, heartfelt exploration of what binds us all - where family begins, how far it goes, and the science that is revolutionizing our understanding of ethnicity, history, and the human species. This book is about Jacobs's own family, but it's also about yours. Because, ultimately, they're the same family.
