He is using DNA like an Archeologist uses fossils to learn about ancient life. We all are carrying evidence about our ancient ancestors. Dr. Wells uses mutations in "junk DNA" of individuals as a genetic marker. By analyzing people's DNA he can see the different genetic markers in different races. He uses these genetic markers to track the migratory path our ancient ancestors took. Dr. Well's work shows us how we are all connected. We are all African under the skin. I think this is one of the most important aspects of his work; showing us how we are all connected. I think everyone should watch "The Journey of Man" or read one of Spencer Well's books. This will eliminate stereotypes and misconceptions people have about other races.
