Dr Adam Rutherford is a geneticist, a broadcaster and science populariser and his latest book, aimed at young people, examines evolution, what race really is, and what makes us human.

Broadcaster and author Kate Humble will be sharing the inspiration behind her new book which sees her on a quest to define what makes a house a home.

And Peeps Nicol - who after being diagnosed with MS and then being widowed - wanted to find a new hobby. Peeps recently became a powerlifter and now at 71 years of age she’s deadlifting heavy weights. We’ll be hearing her story.

All that plus the Inheritance Tracks of chef and author Tom Kerridge.

Presenters: Nikki Bedi and Olly Mann
Producer: Gareth Nelson-Davies

CLARIFICATION: This programme has been edited since broadcast to remove an incidental reference to the death of Blair Peach in 1979, describing it as “murder”. Although the official investigation concluded that Blair Peach died from a blow to the skull with the evidence pointing to it being struck by a police officer, the subsequent inquest gave a verdict of death by misadventure.
