Sex, death, murder, disease, warfare, invasion, migration and famine. Of all the historical texts available to us, none is richer than the one we carry inside every cell. In the last few years, we have made extraordinary progress in our ability to read and understand DNA in the living, and to wheedle it out of people who may well have been dead for tens of thousands of years. Only now, are we re-painting the picture of the human story, using a unique combination of archeology, history, art and our genomes. DNA is the saga of how we came to be who we are today.
