The Mosaic: Why You Are Not Pure | Week 4 of November 2025 14.12.2025 11:14

Modern humans are often described as a single species with a single story, but genetics tells a far more complex truth. In this episode of Genetics Unsealed, we explore how modern human populations are mosaics of ancient ones, shaped by migration, interbreeding, and constant genetic exchange. Drawing on discoveries of Neanderthals, Denisovans, Homo erectus, and other hominins, we examine how extin...

Race as a Social Construct and Eugenics | Week 2 of November 2025 16.11.2025 23:17

In this episode of Genetics Unsealed, we take a clear and unflinching look at one of the most widely misunderstood ideas in human biology: race. Although society often treats race as a biological fact, genetics shows that it is a social construct shaped by history, culture, and politics rather than by our DNA. We explore how early European thinkers attempted to classify humans into neat categories...
