Genome - The History Written in Your Cells - Genome

What this episode covers

Join AI host Eli Mercer as he explores how ancient DNA research is rewriting human history. Discover how Harvard geneticist David Reich's team analyzes 10,000 ancient genomes to reveal hidden migrations, Neanderthal ancestry, and the truth about human populations. Learn why your DNA is a four-billion-year archive proving humans have always mixed, moved, and shared genetic code across continents and millennia. Loved this episode?
