I'm using this blog to alert you to films, books, articles, and websites that I think are very worthwhile; and to share quotes that speak to me.

The Genographic Project: National Geographic, IBM and Scientists Study Human Migration over the last 60,000 years
See The Genographic Project, a National Geographic and IBM Research-led study of Human Origins and Migrations, which will be collecting DNA samples from many indigenous groups as well as from a broad sample of the public in developed regions. Population geneticists, anthropologists, linguists, and original peoples' advocates have enthusiastically joined in this study, which has significant protections for privacy. If you contribute your DNA sample, you will receive a password to a web site where over time, more and more details of how your DNA compares to that collected from various peoples in regions of the globe will be specified.
