Bloomington native Jennifer Raff hit the New York Times bestseller list earlier this year with her first book, Origin: A Genetic History of the Americas. In it, Raff traces the human development of the two continents using DNA science and relying on her own innate curiosity. Reviewers called the book accessible while still scholarly. One reviewer wrote it was “heavy on compassion and light on jargon.” Now associate professor in the anthropology department at the University of Kansas, Raff hopes to help foster diversity within the anthropology field.
Hosts Michael Glab and Alex Ashkin chat with Bloomington’s most fascinating people.
