11. Adam's Curse, by Bryan Sykes

I am having a hard time plowing through this one.  It isn't the science, which is no more in depth than high school biology level. It is just that he goes on and on. I want to shout, "Get to the point!"
Well, it is good enough that I will finish it.  I'm not as interested in what he might have to say about Bigfoot, or how many wolves dogs came from, but I might take a look at those books some day.
This one is about the Y chromosome.  I would say the first three books I read by this author are better than this one, all about how modern DNA studies inform our understanding of how people moved across the earth in the distant past.

My library group choice this month I checked out, read two pages, and decided it was not for me.  Fiction about the most divisive and depressing issue in the country did not appeal to me, nor did I trust my mouth to discuss the subject politely.  I checked it in today, visited with the librarian, and checked out the next one.
