Where did we come from? Who are we? What makes some people different from others? These questions are relevant today more than ever. Professor Johannes Krause (an outstanding young scientist, a world expert in the field of archaeogenetics, director of the Institute for Human History at the Max Planck Institute in Jena) and science journalist Thomas Trappe turn to prehistory, talk about what genes tell us about our origins, and answer many questions: - Are there truly “local” residents? - Why were the first Europeans dark-skinned? - Where do the Indian genes come from in our genotype? - Why does genome analysis allow us to identify separate groups of Europeans, but does not provide grounds for division by nationality? - And finally , why is our continent unthinkable without immigrants?
