Journey into a nation where three continents meet in a single DNA strand. Discover how Colombia created one of history's most remarkable genetic experiments, where indigenous, European, and African heritage combined to create something unprecedented. From high Andean peaks to tropical coastlines, explore how genetic diversity shaped our appearance and our culture, cuisine, music, and resilience.

In this episode, we unravel how Colombia's unique genetic makeup - 47% indigenous, 42% European, and 11% African - created enhanced immune responses, cultural innovations, and adaptations found nowhere else on Earth. From ancient migrations to modern waves of newcomers, discover how each new addition to our genetic pool multiplied rather than diluted our diversity.
