DNA - The Search For Adam 2of5

New DNA studies suggest that all humans descended from a single African ancestor who lived some 60,000 years ago. To uncover the paths that lead from him to every living human, the National Geographic Society launched the Genographic Project, headed by Spencer Wells.

This study will combine population genetics and molecular biology to trace the migration of humans from the time we first left Africa, 50,000 to 60,000 years ago, to the places where we live today.

Ten research centers around the world have received funding from the Waitt Family Foundation to collect and analyze blood samples from indigenous populations (such as aboriginal groups), many in remote areas. The Genographic Project hopes to collect more than a hundred thousand DNA samples to create the largest gene bank in the world. Members of the public are also being invited to participate.

"Our DNA tells a fascinating story of the human journey: how we are all related and how our ancestors got to where we are today," Wells said. "This project will show us some of the routes early humans followed to populate the globe and paint a picture of the genetic tapestry that connects us all."

@RAGSTAluvsDA90z adam was black made of black clay

I love how a program about DNA is actually talking about Adam as if he existed. You cant casually mix biblical and genetical. Let's not mention evolution or the dinosaurs ey..

the y-chromosone test wouldnt be able to tell them if the other Mongolians in the group were or were not related to one of khan's daughters

[RAGSTAluvsDA90z]

all these sht work is done by percentages if its a high percent they will carry on while they miss the other incorrect percentages plus the hadith and the Quran gives a full discription whereas adam was made by diffrent parts of the world.

The biblical crap destroys the credibility of this documentary.

@everyone if you don't understand the science don't leave your comments because they are utterly useless. The science behind this is real and accurate.

Adamas meant slave in Ancient Sumeria.. The Sumerian text states that Adam was created by Aliens... search... Ancient Aliens..
