English Movie

On Thursday we watched a movie about the Genographic Project that was done in Queens, New York. They were getting DNA samples from everyone in the city from mouthswabs. There was such a diverse group of people that were from all different kinds of countries around the world. They did this experiment to try and prove that everyone came from the same location. After they did some research they were able to find out that everyone was traced back to Africa. Everyone's ancestors were traced back to this continent and it showed everyone originated in the same location. It also proves to us how many people have migrated and explored away from Africa. It shows that people go different directions and that they took different routes to get where they are in life now.
