Tonight in Washington, the White House Correspondents’ Dinner will take a different turn. Instead of the usual mix of journalists and celebrities patting themselves on the back, President Trump and First Lady Melania will be there.

A huge study from Harvard looked at DNA from over 16, 000 people who lived across Europe and parts of the Middle East over the last 18, 000 years.
