How much do you know about your great-great-grandfather? What about your Paleolithic relatives? Using genetic testing and archaeological data, Swedish journalist Karin Boyce traced her genealogy back 54,000 years and learned many surprising facts about her distant ancestors and herself. For example, how the discovery of America influenced the DNA of many Icelanders, why the popular paleo diet is based on misconceptions, and which common notions about 'Aryans' are untrue. 'My Prehistoric Family' is a scientifically verified yet personal look at our extended human family and its history.
