National Geographic...more than just pictures of tribal people.
I heard the coolest thing in my Earth Science class today, mark the calendar because you'll probably never hear me start a blog that way again. My teacher is really awesome, I'm pretty sure he's a christian (sometimes you can just tell) but aside from that he gets really off topic. Today instead of teaching us about faults and earthquakes and stuff he told us about an investigation that National Geographic is doing (completely unrelated to any religious affiliation). Its called The Geno Project. Basically you pay the really smart guys at NG $90, they take a swab of your cheek, and trace back your DNA through your ancestors using the most advanced technology available. You know what they found?! Everyond that has participated from all over the world can be linked back to one man, and one woman back in Africa. AWESOME! here's the site: https://genographic.nationalgeographic.com/genographic/index.html
