Nicholas Wade's provocative and unscientific book has been heavily criticised by geneticists. I recommend reading Jennifer Raff's excellent blog post on the subject: http://violentmetaphors.com/2014/05/21/nicholas-wade-and-race-building-a-sci entific-facade/ In case the link breaks here is a TinyURL: http://tinyurl.com/l9oy6h4 There is also a very good article by Michael Eisen: http://www.michaeleisen.org/blog/?p=1609 Debbie -----Original Message----- From: y-dna-haplogroup-i-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:y-dna-haplogroup-i-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Kenneth Nordtvedt Sent: 28 June 2014 20:03 To: y-dna-haplogroup-i@rootsweb.com Subject: [yDNAhgI] Recommended Book Now that many in this hobby are dipping their toes into acquisition of full genome measurements covering all the autosomal chromosomes, there is a book I recommend. A Troublesome Inheritance: Genes, Race, and Human History by Nicholas Wade. Enjoy!

Wade's book is interesting because it is so provocative. Read it and make your own judgement, rather than listen to what some guru says.
