For various reason I’ve been lurking around 23andMe, a personal genetics social service thingy out of SFO (I follow them on Twitter, of course). One big part of what they do is basic education on genetics, what it means, how its done, and its place in our understanding of who we are.
They’ve made a really cool animation of human prehistory, from chimps to homo sapiens (link below).
Looking forward to the next chapter.
