At some point, no rush, I would love to read what you have to say about the eastern hill tribes of the subcontinent and their relation to the Australian indigenous genomes. I know of the denisovan contribution, but I recall somebody saying there were three waves of immigration before the Europeans, and that the most closely related Eurasian ethnicity was the hill tribes.

Thanks for this. Another book by Walter Scheidel I'd recommend is his recent Escape From Rome: The Failure of Empire and the Road to Prosperity. As for podcast guests, I think polymath Steve Hsu would be great to have on, to discuss the work of his company Genomic Prediction. Just watched both of your interviews on Dwarkesh Patel's podcast!

Razib, how much time do you spend reading boos per day if you don’t mind me asking? Would love to hear you address your reading and writing routine/habits on a podcast or post. Thanks.
