This highly enjoyable read sheds light on an ancient culture that was evidently among the greatest nautical explorers. Their genetics, language, and history are fascinating. Devouring the book.

I didn't know much of Spain's history at all, so this neatly killed two birds with one stone for me (a primer on a tiny bit of Spanish history, and a deep dive on Basque history).
