Geneticist Mark Stoneking discusses a special type of genetic material called mitochondrial DNA gets passed directly from mother to child. Largely unchanged from generation to generation, this genetic material gives researchers a way to track populations back in time.
In these videos, scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology present evidence from a variety of scientific disciplines that helps us understand human origins.
