This was a fascinating look on not only the great expansion of humankind but, most importantly, how closely linked we all are. I especially liked how they illustrated this at the end, with people positioned in the region of their ancestors, and then going back in time until eventually we all came from one of two groups.

This long term study of human geneology is very informative, lots of new informatoin regarding human origins and dispersement over time. Follows a number of different study participants, giving their background and opinions on where they think they originated and in the end what their DNA shows their origins to be. Nice graphics to show different migration paths. Explains how all humans can trace back to the same ancestry over hundreds of generations.
