Tracing our evolution across time and space

Through an unending series of major and minor migrations, humans have scattered themselves across the globe, crossing oceans and continents to form a variety of vastly different communities with a diversity unequalled by any other species on Earth.

Using a range of clues—from unearthed artefacts to unique genetic markers—it’s possible to trace the path of humanity’s movements, investigating how, when and why populations mixed and diverged, and how this incredible diversity came to be.
