"It's All Relative" by A.J. Jacobs

book review by Riley Burnham 8/15/2022

well this was good, & fun

third book of Jacobs' i've read, & gladly so, hehehe, as they're a mix of humor & good insights (lots of humor)

this one is about the greater human family (& perhaps beyond) & the author's premise to gather the world's largest reunion [he attempts this of course]

we learn about Geni & other family-tree services, & how we're all basically related fairly closely [___ is my ___ cousin via ___ etc.]

there's mention of people discovering their partners are closer in relation than they'd have guessed, & in some families/circles this is the norm ["inbreeding" or by other terms, a la "royal" bloodlines & Jewish sects]

good book, well-read, & an illuminating topic
