* Deep Ancestry: Inside the Genographic Project
(Book - Amazon.com) :
Science tells us we're all related—one vast family sharing
a common ancestor who lived in Africa 60,000 years ago.
But countless questions remain about our great journey
from the birthplace of Homo sapiens to the ends of the
Earth. How did we end up where we are? When did we get
there? Why do we display such a wide range of colors and
features? The fossil record offers some answers, but
exciting new genetic research reveals many more, since
our DNA carries a complete chronicle of our species and
its migrations.
