| وصف الكتاب | A deeply reported look at the rise of home genetic testing and the seismic shock it has had on individual lives You swab your cheek or spit in a vial then send it away to a lab somewhere. Weeks later you get a report that might tell you where your ancestors came from or if you carry certain genetic risks. Or the report could reveal longburied family secrets and upend your entire sense of identity. Soon a lark becomes an obsession a relentless drive to find answers to questions at the core of your being like Who am I? and Where did I come from? Welcome to the age of home genetic testing. In The Lost Family journalist Libby Copeland investigates what happens when we embark on a vast social experiment with little understanding of the ramifications. She explores the culture of genealogy buffs the science of DNA and the business of companies like Ancestry and 23andMe all while tracing the story of one woman her unusual results and a relentless methodical drive for answers that becomes a thoroughly modern genetic detective story. Gripping and masterfully told The Lost Family is a spectacular book on a big timely subject. |
