PROFILES: Oh, the Places We've Been

These free talks explore the people, places, and events that shape our lives, our world, our universe. Presented by Dr. Bill Thierfelder, professor emeritus and docent at the American Museum of Natural History.

Oh, the Places We've Been: Looks at the remarkable odyssey of humans across the planet, from the first appearance of Homo sapiens on the African plains 300,000 years ago, through Africa, the Middle East, Europe, Asia, and eventually the Americas. Through the wonders of genetic science, we are able to trace our extraordinary journey, and perhaps determine why we're the last hominin standing.
