Spencer Wells on the Colbert Report – Genetic Genealogy Goes Mainstream

August 17th, 2007 in DNA in the News |

Earlier this week, there was a lot of coverage of Spencer Wells’ interview on the Colbert Report. Spencer Wells, of course, leads the Genographic Project.

Epidemix has the video on his blog, along with the video of last month’s interview with Craig Venter. EyeonDNA has a brief review , and it got a mention on Megan’s Root World. If you have a moment, hop over and watch the video.

    I saw this episode of the Colbert Report…it was hilarious. I wasn’t aware that DNA was invented in the 1950s…I always learn something when I watch the Colbert Report.

    I am descendent from mongolia..and have no wisdom tteth.. but long cannine teeth.
    my brother has no frontal sinus .. and my son is colour blind . These were traits of that area as well as a mongolian crease in the palm. I would be interested to discuss these observations with Dr Wells. thankyou xx Carole
