Join us as we wind our way through the complicated social life of DNA for the first part of the season. What can DNA tell us about our identity? How are direct to consumer DNA tests, like 23 and me, being used in different communities? From empowering African American communities to seek lost roots to white supremacist using it to perpetuate social constructs of race...we are about to get skin deep.

Guests: Christine Carter, Dr. Alondra Nelson, Dr. Aaron Panofsky
