As people, we get around.

I think it was xoB who bought the package from I think it was National Geographic? where you could send them a cheek swab, and they could track back your Y chromosome and tell you where your distant ancestors had come from?

This really cool animation shows everything we know as a result of that Y chromosome, combined with archaeology, fossil records and climatology. Be sure to click on the little cloud symbol where it appears, and you'll get additional notes about climate change during that period. Don't miss the dramatic turn of events 74000 years ago!

I don't think I buy the 40-19 thousand years ago slides though.... seems like they try to explain the Meadcroft rock shelter with the Bering straight crossing, because they have to somehow, but then completely ignore Topper and other pre-clovis sites further to the south because it's just too much of a stretch.

I was looking at the slides and thinking, "It took them 10,000 years to go from there to there? I could do that in a weekend.

Blog of Really Awful Bookcovers

Mainly Science Fiction, some Fantasy.

All really awful. They set the awfulness bar pretty high, and keep crossing it.
