National Geographic is participating in a fascinating research partnership (Dr. Spencer Wells, a team of renowned international scientists and IBM researchers) to analyze historical patterns in DNA and develop a better understand our human genetic roots. In the process they've also created a great interactive map that explores the human journey from 200,000 - 10,000 B.C.
