Prior to author Libby Copeland's virtual discussion on October 5th of "The Cultural Phenomena of Home DNA Testing," there will be a special book group meeting to discuss her book, The Lost Family: How DNA Testing is Upending Who We Are.
In The Lost Family, journalist Libby Copeland investigates what happens when we embark on a vast social experiment with little understanding of the ramifications. Copeland explores the culture of genealogy buffs, the science of DNA, and the business of companies like Ancestry and 23andMe, all while tracing the story of one woman, her unusual results, and a relentless methodical drive for answers that becomes a thoroughly modern genetic detective story. - Amazon
