Abstract
As the American geneticist, anthropologist, and television presenter Spencer Wells boldly claims in his 2003 PBS documentary The Journey of Man, the study of genetic variation in people around the globe opens an unparalleled view into the past. One drop of blood or a few cells swabbed from the inside of the cheek, he insists, not only unveils mankind's origins in Africa, but also reveals the pathways along which human beings traveled into Europe, Asia, and North and South America.
