The Human Family Tree Video

In The Human Family Tree, scientists set out to figure out where human ancestry began. These scientist believe that the human ancestry descended from a common place in Africa. These scientists take DNA swabs from random people in the streets of New York and figure out their genetic lineage. In this, they see that people who don't look as if they are from the same lineage, they are. An Indian woman may be connected with an African male and so forth. In the video, you see people from all over come up and try to understand where they came from. It's really cool to see how interested people are in descent. All you do is swab your cheek and they can trace it back as far as they can and guess where you are from. It's a rather neat project, and it could go along with DNA databases because they could look far back in your DNA to see where you came from, like this project is doing.
