Who
are we? Where did we come from? What if tens of thousands of years ago,
a small band of our ancestors managed to populate every inch of the globe
– walking on foot across hundreds of miles of ocean, barren deserts and
ice-locked tundras? In National Geographic Channel’s 2-hour documentary
JOURNEY OF MAN scientist Dr Spencer Wells decodes our genetic history,
based on thousands of DNA samples taken from all over the world in the
last decade. His astonishing revelations suggest that everyone alive in
the world today is descended from one man – as little as 60 000 years
ago. This astonishing genetic detective story leads viewers around the
globe to unlock clues, hidden in blood, that trace humanity’s path and
recreate the family tree of our modern world.
