Ancestral Journeys
 Xavier
Cortada
explores the complex relationship between human genetics, identity and
human history, particularly human migration from its
origins in East Africa.
This work is part of a multi-year project informed by the scientific research of population geneticist Dr. Spencer Wells and National Geographic's Genographic Project. The evolving body of work has been shown at the Museo de las Americas in Denver and at the Miami Science Museum and Deering Estate, locally.

Patrick (Peru) and I "hunted and gathered" throughout the day. The last common
ancestors (M89) the four of us share did the same thing in the Middle East 45,000 years ago...
