Hello,
Now that I work around artificial intelligence, it feels especially urgent to not let my reading list be completely taken over by the topic, and I think the links below show I've done a pretty good job at it in the past few weeks.

What DNA tests revealed about East Africa's Swahili People (hint: it's not the story that colonization left behind.)
Just trust me on this one.
