We're all different

Easy-to-read book intended for the general reader demonstrating the large amount genetic variation present in the human population. However, the specific migration of early humans throughout the world and the establishment of diverse populations worldwide is not covered in this reference.

Indepth and interesting

This book is labeled as "for the lay reader" but it ranges from lay language to very technical language regarding chemistry and DNA. The author integrates genetics, evolution, migration, and psychology into a very useful book which supports acceptance of diversity and offers the evidence required to debunk stereotypes and prejudices.
