       | Its fascinating how politico-economic history is written on our
       | genes and tells a story.

       | The "Tides of History" podcast recently finished a whole season
       | (100+ episodes) about Prehistory and the Bronze Age that goes
       | deep into these types of genetic studies. Fascinating stuff,
       | definitely recommended. One highlight for me was the "The
       | Austronesian Expansion".

           | Definitely Mike Duncan's Revolutions podcast, which just
           | wrapped up. I recommend you start with the French Revolution
           | (season 3).
           | 
           | Another favorite of mine is "Fall of Civilizations". It takes
           | the almost-audiobook approach of Hardcore History, and almost
           | all episodes have been fascinating. Favorite so far is
           | probably the one about Han China.

       | The abstract doesn't touch on the interesting but politically
       | sensitive developments over the last few decades: 20% of the
       | people living in Sweden today were born in another country. In
       | the city I live in (Malmo) only 30% of children have two parents
       | born in Sweden.

         | That is a very fascinating subject. In addition to the 20% who
         | were born outside of Sweden, another 6% are born in Sweden to
         | parents both born outside, meaning over a quarter of the
         | population today is not ethnically Swedish. It's a radical
         | shift, compared to under 2% before WW2 and under 7% in the 70s.
         | I'm curious how that social experiment will pan out in the end.
