Episode 2: Race

We trace the Simrils (one L) back to their African roots through the DNA results of Spenser Simrill Sr and Debra Simril– revealing just how close genetically the Simrills and Simrils are. In doing so, we plant seeds for the “Greatest Untold Story of Black Migration” - the Simrils ancestors return to Africa. We discuss the genetic and biological concept of race with Dr. Joseph Graves, who ultimately concludes that race doesn’t make sense as a biological concept in humans. This conclusion sets the stage for a post-racial world, the one the Simrills and Simrils now inhabit. Meanwhile, Spenser and Michal are now planning a get together of their families…and dealing all the distrust and questions that come with it.©2024 Audio Up Inc. (P)2024 Audible Originals, LLC
