Saxons, Vikings, and Celts: The Genetic Roots of Britain and Ireland by Bryan Sykes

3.0

What a great idea for a book and a scientific exploration of dna. What a horrible example of the execution of a book. Just plain badly written. And yet the idea of mixing the history, stories and myths with the location of differences of mutation in genes in a particular place, is an awesome one. And yet the science and the statistics of the book itself should have been so much better. I learned quite a bit from this one, but there was quite the opportunity to learn more.
