DVD Reviews of Journey of Man
DVD Review: The DNA Genographic Project video
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a very important video that should be shown to all school children and people who have any curiosity about the origins of people. This video explains how National Geographic's Genographic Project has been able to study through DNA, archeological and historical knowledge how people have migrated around the world.DVD Review: Educated eye opener
Summary: 5 Stars
I first saw this video in class and was amazed. The history of the research conducted by Dr.Wells and his mentors speaks to the dedication and empirical base behind their results. I bought it for a Human Diversity course I am teaching as I believe it speaks to how interrelated humans are and took from the video the message to appreciate the evolutionary differences in others. I recently also bought a copy for my sister who is studying sociology and anthropology - she continues to thank me...DVD Review: Outstanding Video from PBS
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great educational video on DNA explained in the simplest terms that even a 54 year old engineer can follow it.DVD Review: You look familiar
Summary: 4 Stars
This video lets you see the faces behind the science. Although you will see an awful lot of handsome and personable Dr. Wells, you also get introduced to the individuals who have donated their blood to give us a idea of how we're all related. The science reminds you of how resilient and inventive each of us must be if we come from stock who were able to survive such an epic journey around the globe.DVD Review: excellent place to begin a year of social studies or world history
Summary: 5 Stars
If I had thought of it, I would have begun our homeschool study of Asia and Africa with this. It's a remarkable production that stands at the intersection of social studies and life science. Using DNA, scientists have been able to trace human migrations out of Africa to the rest of the world. Dr. Wells, the narrator and one of the geneticists working in the area, tells the astonishing story simply and very engagingly. And he tells it as he takes us with him on a journey retracing the steps of these migrations. Very highly recommended.
