  • The clues to our history, our heritage and our evolution are hidden in the genes of our ancestors. Could two groundbreaking inventions that have catapulted the human imagination have been discovered simultaneously in different locations? Or is the secret to our evolution our ancestors' migration? Eske passionately recounts that it was the travels of our ancestors that changed the world - let him inspire you to pack a suitcase and journey out in the wide world of adventure"
    Eske Willerslev is known worldwide for his groundbreaking research in ancient DNA, which has re-written history on multiple occasions. Drawing comparisons to Indiana Jones, Eske has travelled the most remote places imaginable, finding clues about out past in the hair of 15,000-year-old corpses. For his ability to communicate his complex findings in an understandable manner, Eske has been awarded the prestigious Danish Rosenkjær Prize.

    Is there an English translation of the video discussion made 1 year ago in Danish by this geneticist which lasts over 1 hour ? I would appreciate it very much if it can be located.

    Not to sound like a complete dunce, but basically he's saying gave sex with foreigners and especially while you're travelling or else we all will be inbred?

      Yeah, he highly exaggerated, White people having sex with blacks brings no benefits because the races are too far apart and the climate and everything is too different.
      He has to say this things because he was accused many times of being a racist.
      Nothing new, TED is a PC movement. Lobbied Science only says half of the truth.

      'The races are too far apart'? That's hilarious.
      Well, at least we know you're not a scientist.

      Well, he seems to be biased towards "engaging foreigners" in this matter, as his wife is Korean.

      @@emilie7331 Her full name is Ulrikke Ji Mee Willerslev. She's probably raised Danish, having been adopted from Korea. I advise you do google her name, before saying silly things. I myself know Eske Willerslev personally BTW.
