I am choosing to read Abraham Lincoln’s DNA and Other Adventures in Genetics by Philip Reilly, because it combines two of my main interests - genealogy and history. The title of the book caught my eye while it was sitting on a bookshelf in Mr. Yost’s room. The genealogy aspect is present in the book through the study of genetics, and I have always wondered how and why specific traits are passed from generation to generation. The study of specific historical figures is also an interest of mine, and Abraham Lincoln is one of the most fascinating presidents.
