I'm not talking about meme books, rather something about ancient genetics and anthropology. I just spent an hour reading about the genetic/linguistic/ethnic history of Papua and now I'm hooked. Recommend books on genetics, population flows, and ancient extinct races. I once spent several months reviewing the expedition logs of a 1930's anthropological mission to the near east and it was fascinating. Old is not a barrier to entry; I just want something thorough. I want to properly understand all the haplogroup shop talk on twitter. I want to properly study hundreds of peoples that populate this earth. For the Jannies who deleted this post earlier, I am quite genuine and bear no ill will for any of these races.

Also for those who think this is a waste of time, people really appreciate it if you can discriminate properly. A prog sees a Ute, an Igbo or a Uighur and just thinks oppressed person. I can talk with them about the culture and history of their people. I spent an hour speaking with my Korean boss at a dinner about the origins of the Korean races.

Recognizing the existence of different races does not imply any contempt for them.

Dunno about books but you can look at how tibetans have a “superman” gene that doesn’t exist in any of the Asian peoples around them

Perhaps you need to re-examine your prejudice against racists.

I saw a few videos, they seemed fairly shallow though. I'm really looking for book length stuff.

Thanks for the link brother. I vaguely knew about the gene but did not know it was Denisovan in origin.
