When the Human Genome Project was completed and published in 2003, many saw it as a Rosetta Stone for so many other questions raised about the human genome. One of the subsequent research experiments concerning the human genome is discussed in the article entitled 'Ancient Hook-Ups, All Over the World' that was posted on the Newsweek site in May of 2008. It discusses a paper that has been published, explaining a radical new way to use genetic information to track the ancient migrations of humans across the globe.

Originally, scientists observed the Y-chromosome to complete their migration experiments. Now researchers have begun broaden their vision by observing parts of chromosomes across the whole of the human genome. One of the first things this new technique did was confirm that the entire human race is descended from a single group of people which migrated out of Africa. It also shows that no ancient people living in what is now Asia and Europe contributed to the modern gene pool.

It is fascinating to see what subsequent research has followed the completion of the Human Genome Project. It was an answer that raised many more questions, and this article discusses the further answers given by such intricate continuing research.
