The Origin Atlas investigates where the world's peoples actually came from — using ancient DNA studies, peer-reviewed archaeogenetic research, and findings from the fossil record to challenge what history textbooks assumed was settled.

Every video takes one population and traces it through the genetic evidence: the migrations nobody predicted, the population replacements historians missed, and the ancestral connections that only became visible when scientists started sequencing bones. The school version of human origins is almost always incomplete. The DNA record tells a different story.

Topics covered: European origins, ancient North America, South Asian genetics, prehistoric population movements, Neanderthal research, and the deep ancestry of diaspora communities worldwide.
