Who are the Jews-- a race, a people, a religious group? Osterer offers readers an entirely fresh perspective on the Jewish people and their history, with a cutting-edge portrait of population genetics, a field which may soon take its place as a pillar of group identity alongside shared spirituality, shared social values, and a shared cultural legacy.
