The Scots : a genetic journey

See all formats and editions

History has always mattered to Scots, and rarely more so than now at the outset of a new century, with a new census appearing in 2011 and after more than ten years of a new parliament.

The mushrooming of genetic studies, of DNA analysis, is rewriting our history in spectacular fashion.
