In this Toronto debut, Esquire and NPR contributor A.J. Jacobs discusses his new book It's All Relative with Jessica Allen, co-host of CTV’s The Social. A best-selling author of four books and genealogical expert whose TED talk on the global family has been viewed over a million times, Jacobs brings humour and insight to the recent family history craze. As Jacobs chronicles his quest to unite the entire human race in one all-encompassing family tree, he unearths his own genealogical connections to Hollywood actors and Civil War soldiers—and examines the legitimacy of those DNA tests that purport to reveal your ancestry.
Books available for purchase. A.J. Jacobs will be signing copies in the lobby after the event.
