WE ARE FAMILY!

In our last class, we talked about an article that we had to read for homework. The article pretty much talked about how all of us humans today are, in some way, related to each other. Weird, right? For the rest of the class, we began a video called "Journey of Man." This video is a documentary of a man who went on a journey around the world trying to discover how we are all related and where this relation started. What we have learned so far is that we all originate from Africa, from the San Bushmen tribe. The people of this tribe are the first ancestors of mankind, which lived about 50,000 years ago. These people a few major advantages: state of the art hunting technology, advanced language, and excellent tracking skills. We also learned about genetic markers, inherited mutations that write our history and are passed on from generation to generation. At some point in history, a few people of the San Bushmen tribe migrated and ended up in Australia. There is no evidence that can be found that can prove how the tribe made  it to Australia. This is because the sea levels at the time were lower than they are today, therefore, they could walk from one continent to the other. We will be finishing the video next class. Until next time!
