By checking “Patient’s Race,” we health care providers pretend to know something that we cannot possibly know: the patient’s ancestry and associated medical risk.

In a remarkable feat of ancient DNA analysis, researchers have reconstructed the genetic story of a baby boy who lived over 17,000 years ago in Ice Age Europe. The genetic material allowed researchers to reconstruct details about his physical appearance, ancestry, and even the health challenges he faced.
