"Journey of Man"
1:00 P.M. -
The campus community is invited to view "Journey of Man," a documentary that answers the question, Where do we all come from? The story is told through the science of genetics.

He has been disentangling this epic story from evidence all people carry with them in their DNA-inherited from those ancient travelers.
