We continue our chronological retelling of Chinese history from very beginning. Our story begins with monumental work on ancient Chinese history, The Records of the Grand Historian.

I interviewed gifted geneticist and ploymath Razib Khan who runs blog Gene Expression and Brown Pundits Podcast about latest studies on Chinese population genetics.

Spread of Chariot technology, the complex relatedness of different human populations from Africa to Europe to China to Americas This is a nice supplement to the new Chinese history podcast series that I just started.
