Can the geographical genetic differences be explained by random mutations?
The genographic project is a 40 million dollars privately-funded initiative that results from a collaboration between National Geographic, IBM and charity the Waitt Family Foundation. The goal is to collect DNA samples from over 100,000 people worldwide that will be subjected to lab and computer analysis to extract genetic data. This database will be a precious tool for geneticists to extract valuable information on the way we have been conceived, based on our collective similarities and differences.
