mtDNA shows how humans migrated across the World

It has been over 20 years since DNA analysis technology began to be used in the field of archaeology. In many countries, scientists are analyzing genes from ancient human fossils and making them into a database so that they can be used for research.

Genes extracted from more than 10,000 fossils were extracted, analyzed, and compared.As a result, humans are said to have originated from a woman in Africa about 200,000 years ago.

And as a result of genetic analysis of her descendants who lived scattered around the globe, their migration routes were revealed.
In this video, their movement paths by era were mapped.

Thanks for this map. People will understand the story much better now. I have been telling this story for a long time, but it is much better on You-tube. Cynthia Allen McLaglen

Hello from Yakutia (North East Siberia) to our relatives in Americas. We, people of Yakutia managed to survive in one of the coldest places on Earth during Ice Age together with cattle and horses, and still surviving today.

This should be taught in schools perhaps history and biology as well as social studies to show how closely we are related to each other. The Human race is one big family.🕊👍

This is the very best migration simulation I have ever watched. It didn't dumb it anything down. I see that GeoNomad has videos focused on specific migrations and (unless I missed it) I can't wait to see a video focusing on migration into and throughout the Americas that was briefly touched on (excellently) in this comprehensive video.

Science never ceases to amaze me. Humans can accomplish so much when we study deeply. Too bad our world is run by people who don’t think like scientists.

Excellent! Excellent! Excellent! This should be “mandatory” teaching in all schools. This is what these platforms should be used for, showing how we are all related.

Thank you! I am part Chibcha Native. I’ve always said my people took “the longest walk.” Take care my fellow humans.

I took a 23&me test, which opened my mind to this studies. I am from Puerto Rico, and I’m adopted. No clue about biological parents. Despite I may look European, I was certain that I must had three different races in me, European, African and Native American. But I was not so sure about the Taino heritage (Native American from the Caribbean), since I was told that the Europeans exterminated them, and just a few puertorricans may still have some DNA traces. I took the 23&me test and guess what, I not only have all three races on me, of course European dominates, that’s why I look white from the Mediterranean, but I was so happy to find my haplo group is A2 which is a variant from A. Also understanding how all humans (homophobia sapiens sapiens) come from the same woman from Eastern Africa. She is the real Eve, and that makes us all brothers and sisters.

That was very interesting. I always love it when maps are included. Very helpful.

I am a linguist and this matches perfectly what Chomsky says about the origin/evolution of language. I loved the video.

This mtDNA distribution map as well as every other such map ever made leaves one with the impression that there is more genetic diversity outside Africa than within Africa, which is actually opposite to reality. The one L branch all non-Africans descend from (L3) gets a detailed examination and an A to Z color-coded type classification which the other L branches that remained within Africa do not get (L0 to L6). In fact most of the L3 branch is in Africa, L3 has seven equidistant descendants: L3a, L3b'f, L3c'd, L3e'i'k'x, L3h, M, N. Five are African, while two are associated with non Africans. .So 6 out of 7 of the human mtDNA branches are completely ignored because it is within Africa and not deemed worthy of expansion and only a small fraction (two seventh, 2⁄7) of the 7th branch is represented. So we are actually looking at less than 4% of the human family tree.. There are more ethnic groups in Africa than the rest of the world combined. There are over 3, 000 different ethnic groups speaking more than 2, 100 different languages in Africa. And Africa will account for more than half of the world’s population growth by 2050. Nigeria alone is forecast to overtake China in total population size before the end of this century. So this is a population that should not be ignored.

Its so weird how long the journey was to colonize madagascar. A native of the island is more closely related to an asian than a south or east african who live right off the coast that part blew my mind

The enormity of the study. Who do we thank for all this information. Certainly, all the biologists and scientists. But we are thankful for channels like yours, for simplifying it all. A big thank you sir

The ancient Hindu world view of Vasudeyva kuthumbakam (world is one family) takes on special meaning.

This topic should be included in schools

[dandeliondown]

I would love to see the Kurgan Hypothesis demonstrated this way. The spread and development of the Indo-European languages has always fascinated me.

[RaduCostinD]

At last! I've been looking for something like this for so long... Thank you Geo Nomad!

[jaysoncarter]

Very nice thanks I've been waiting for info about Polynesian Origins like this for a long time. Very well done, and, to the point. Cheers 🌴🌎🌊🤙.

To improve A.I. speech, take extra care with punctuation and spaces in the text that you supply. There were several parts that didn't work well.

This is exactly the content I was looking for.
Thank you so much for making these videos.
I love it ;) (intp here)
