History has always mattered to Scots. But whilst traditional views of the past are shaped by documents, events and physical remains, we have until recently overlooked the fact that an almost limitless archive of history lies hidden inside our own bodies, and that the ancient story of Scotland is carried around within us. Recent developments in genetic studies and DNA analysis are rewriting history in spectacular fashion. In this acclaimed book, Alistair Moffat explores what our genes can tell us about ourselves, and comes to some remarkable conclusions about our origin and identity.
