My discussion yesterday of computer translation tearing down language barriers and uniting humanity as never before got me thinking about our species' origins.
Here's a fascinating TED (the annual technology, entertainment, and design conference in Monterey, California) lecture about humanity's common ancestors and how advances in genetics are allowing us to sort out our tangled, ancient family tree.
(I attempted to embed the video in my blog post, but Blogger seems not to like the TED conference's flash code. If anyone could help me troubleshoot that, I'd appreciate it immensely.)
