Using information about his own DNA that he obtained by participating in National Geographic’s Genographic Project, writer Donovan Webster traced his family back to the first human beings. In his new National Geographic book, Meeting the Family: One Man’s Journey Through His Human Ancestry, and in this presentation, he recounts his own travels in the footsteps of his ancestors from Tanzania’s Rift Valley through the Middle East and Central Asia, through Europe and to North America.
