Map Shows How Humans Migrated Across The Globe

It's tough to know what happened on Earth thousands of years before anyone started writing anything down. But thanks to the amazing work of anthropologists and paleontologists like those working on National Geographic's Genographic Project, we can begin to piece together the story of our ancestors. Here's how early humans spread from East Africa all around the world.

Imagine the horrors our ancestors faced on these journeys, simply unimaginable... The Animals, terrain, lack of neccessary food/tools, climate...

Someone I know working as a archaeologist recently discovered arrows buried in the ground on top of a mountain in the Okanagan Valley dated from nearly 10, 000 years ago. Now they're discovering a settlement that had possibly thousands of natives around that time in southern Canada.

We’re all immigrants. Unless you’re from Kenya and living in Kenya.

From one place they moved across the world and got away from each other and now they are meeting together here on YouTube, hello brothers

I’d love to watch a video of how humans evolved into different blood types, and our Rh factors.

They travelled all the way to find new lands.
And here I am lying gracefully on my bed thinking about how to get a glass of water without getting up :)

This is facinating. Stuff like this should be shown in schools.
