Ancestry Reimagined succeeds in dismantling myths around genetic ancestry and provides an accessible and engaging and integrative discussion of a wide-ranging literature. It would serve as an excellent primer text for undergraduate students, scholars who are adjacent to, but still outside of, genetics, or the general public trying to make sense of their consumer genetics results.
