The Human Family Tree on Nat Geo Channel...Suck it, Fundies!
This is a follow-up from last year's "The Journey of Man" with very cute geneticist Spencer Wells taking random DNA from one street in Queens and tracing it back to human migration from East Africa (where human life began, despite all those Creationists want to believe). If you missed it on Sunday night, it's repeating tomorrow (Sep 1). Totally worth the time or to DVR it.

It fascinates me to know that they got DNA from humans remains a few hundred thousand years old, and all the evidence validates earlier carbon dating. I had so many friends who would dismiss that science, declare humans fallible and yet take in the Creationist fairy tales without question. Maybe more shows like this will make an impact.
