Beskrivning
A.J. Jacobs has received some strange emails over the years, but this note was perhaps the strangest: “You don’t know me, but I’m your eighth cousin. And we have over 80,000 relatives of yours in our database.”And so begins A.J. Jacobs’s quest to build the biggest family tree in history. In an era of us-versus-them thinking, this book is a hilarious, heartfelt and profound exploration of what binds us all – where family begins, how far it goes, and the science that is revolutionizing the way we think about ethnicity, history and the human species.This book is about A.J. Jacobs’s family. But it’s also about your family. Because it is the same family.

'The Sower", the Simon & Schuster logo, is perfect opening icon for this story about human seed sown by our common ancestors out of Africa and how you and I are related to the Jacobs clan.  Like AJ's previous hilarious books, this one involves way-over-the-top performance art -- this time the mother of all family reunions, at which I sang "We are family" (and the rest of you 7.5 billion were expected to sing along).  Genealogy is now, deservedly, tied for the top hobby, along with other ancient biotechnologies, gardening and sex.  You could have no better guide than ace jovialist and awesome jester, AJ.  Now, more than ever, we celebrate our connections, we read, we smile.'
