About this listen

They say that homo sapiens emerged sometime between 300 and 200 thousand years ago. One of the lead scientists in this field of research is award-winning molecular anthropologist, Dr. Himla Soodyall, whose groundbreaking work has traced back some of the oldest DNA linking modern day humans to our origins in Sub-Saharan Africa. In this episode, Himla tells us what our genes can teach us about our earliest ancestors and how our roots in Africa connect us all to one common tree.
