The Genographic Project

As I said in previous entries technology has grown and evolved greatly in the twentieth and twenty first centuries. We are now able to do many things we could not do before such as have long distance phone calls between people on different continents, email people quickly in a matter of seconds through the internet, track people using various devices, and analyze many things such as historical artifacts or remains using bits of DNA, bone, clothing, etc. These and many other various advancements in technology are what make the Genographic Project possible. People can now easily migrate by plane or boat or car when a couple hundred years ago people still could not do those things and had to depend on their own two feet or animals for transportation. This makes traveling, tracking and analyzing historical objects easy to do which is why now is a great time for the Genographic Project. We will be able to find out what our earliest ancestors were like, what their times were like, what or if there was art back then, and so on. This information might help us have a better understanding of why the world is the way it is and could help us revise our plans for the future. In addition I think future migration patterns will continue to bring more and more people to North America however after a while the land will be full and people will have to go somewhere else so possibly Europe because it seems to be improving more and more as the European Union continues to expand. In conclusion I think it is good that scientists are continuing to try and figure out our history because the information will be good to know for the future.
