Through Lluís Quintana-Murci’s window, fog obscures the Eiffel Tower. The Mallorcan geneticist, long a fixture of the Institut Pasteur, still hasn’t adapted to Paris’s greyness. He is a migrant, appropriately. His book Human Peoples, about this century’s breakthroughs in genetics, explains that humans have always been migrants. “This is not champagne socialism,” he says. “It’s science.” And migrant humans mated (“admixed”, say geneticists) with other groups they encountered.
