Donovan Webster brings his vivid journalistic gifts to a new subject, tracing our deep genealogy using cuttingedge DNA research to map our eonsold journey from prehistoric Africa into the modern world. With the same genetic haplotype as many white American males, Webster makes an ideal subjecthe is a genuine Everyman. While his voice and spirit are unique to him, in exploring his own ancestry, he shows us our own.Drawing on National Geographics Genographic Project, the largest anthropologic DNA study of its kind, Webster traces centuries of migrations, everywhere finding members of his now farflung genetic family. In Tanzanias Rift Valley, he hunts with Julius, whose tribe speaks a click language, and wanders the ruins of ancient Mesopotamia with Mohamed and Khalid, now Jordanian citizens. In Samarkand, Uzbekistan, eastern frontier of his ancestral roaming, a circus ringmaster becomes both friend and link to his primal bloodline.Websters genographic quest leads him to contemplate what traits he shares with those he meets, and considers what they and their ways of life reveal about the deep history of our species. A lifetime of journalistic travels among a wide range of cultures furnish Webster with a wealth of colorful threads to weave into a story as particularly personal as it is universally human.

I picked up 'Meeting the Family' on a whim, and it turned out to be a fascinating journey through one man's ancestry. The storytelling was engaging, and I gained a deeper appreciation for my own family history. Definitely worth the read if you’re into genealogy!

Good but Not What I Expected
I started 'Meeting the Family' hoping for a more scientific approach to ancestry, but it turned into a more personal narrative. While I enjoyed some parts, I felt it could've included more detailed research data. Still, it was an interesting story overall.

Disappointed with the Content
Unfortunately, 'Meeting the Family' didn’t resonate with me. I found the writing style a bit dull, and it felt like the author skimmed over important details. I was hoping for a more engaging exploration of ancestry, but this just didn’t hit the mark for me.
