Chromosomes: A Journey Through Family, Time, and Human History

By: Negrin, Fabian

A heartwarming book that takes us through generations and celebrates our shared heritage, our diversity, and the invisible threads that connect us all across time.

Ninety-year-old Lucia looks back on her life through her most treasured memories: the love she shared with Giorgio, summers by the beach, and laughter-filled Sundays with friends. But her story goes beyond personal recollection -- this beautifully illustrated work of nonfiction weaves a tapestry across generations, continents, and centuries. From seafaring grandparents and adventurous ancestors to ancient origins rooted in the heart of Africa, the story is a heartfelt tribute to the beauty of family history and the universal DNA that binds humanity together -- back, back to an iconic figure, everyone's ancestor: Lucy.

An extraordinary journey, a paradigm of all families, showing the common origin of human beings.
