Libby Copeland, the author of The Lost Family: How DNA Testing Is Upending Who We Are joins the Santa Fe Public Library for a virtual book event to discuss the culture of genealogy, the science of DNA, and the business of DNA testing. Her new book investigates how home DNA testing has impacted many communities, including adoptees, the donor-conceived, and those who didn’t start out with questions about their families – but found questions posed by their DNA results.
