*Greetings:
*I would encourage all of you to view "Journey of Man" on your local PBS
station. It is being re-broadcast on PBS channels in the Boston area Sat
and Sunday (and presumably in the rest of the US) following the initial
showing earlier this week. Very accessible, but the science is first rate.

"Journey of Man*
Geneticist Spencer Wells is embarking on the biggest adventure of his
life. His mission: to retrace the most extraordinary journey of all
time, a journey that affected every man, woman, and child alive today.
About 60,000 years ago, the human family numbered only a few and
inhabited one continent, Africa. Then, forced by drought and famine,
this small group left its homeland and embarked on a hazardous journey.
They didn't stop until they had reached the ends of the earth. We are
all their children. Join Wells as he travels to every continent on
Earth. From the deserts of Namibia to the frozen tundra of the Russian
Arctic, he meets the key human groups that hold the genetic history of
mankind in their blood."
