Pаssаge #2 The Pоwer оf Phоtogrаphy A In 2014, approximately 1.8 billion photographs were uploaded to the Internet each day. Today, everyone is a subject, and knows it—soon we will be adding "the unguarded moment" to the endangered species list. Yet certain photographs have the power to do more than just document lives—they change lives. They can transport us to unseen worlds. They can profoundly alter the way we see things. And while most of us are taking pictures of our breakfast, there are those fortunate few who take photographs for a living: professional photographers. B People often romanticize the life of a National Geographic photographer. Yes, they travel the world. They are witnesses to all earthly beauty. But that doesn’t mean it’s easy. They must overcome daily obstacles (flight delays, inhospitable1 weather), and are often interrupted by disaster (broken bones, imprisonment). Away from home for many months at a time—missing birthdays, holidays, school plays—they can find themselves in dangerous situations. Or sitting in a tree for a week. Or eating bugs for dinner. C Still, these photographers wouldn’t have it any other way. Their work reflects different passions: human conflict and disappearing cultures, big cats and tiny insects, the desert and the sea. Yet they share similar qualities as well. They each have a hunger for the unknown, the courage to be ignorant, and the wisdom to recognize that, as one says, “the photograph is never taken—it is always given.” D Photographers often sit for days, even weeks, with their subjects, listening to them, learning what it is they have to teach the world, before at last lifting the camera to the eye. They have spent years in the worlds of Sami reindeer herders, Japanese geisha, and New Guinea birds of paradise. Their tremendous commitment can be seen in their photographs. What’s not visible is their sense of responsibility toward those who dared to trust the stranger by opening the door to their quiet world. These photographers view photography as teamwork, a collaborative venture between two souls on either side of the lens. E In a world seemingly numbed by a daily avalanche2 of images, can photographs such as this still tell us something important about ourselves and about the imperiled beauty of the world we live in? Photographers use their cameras as tools of exploration, and as instruments for change. Their images are proof that photography matters—now more than ever. 1 If something is inhospitable, it means the environment is harsh and difficult to live in. 2 An avalanche is a large and overwhelming quantity of something that comes suddenly.

The DNA Trаil [A] Everybоdy lоves а gоod story, аnd when it's finished, this may be the greatest one ever told. It begins in Africa with a group of people, perhaps just a few hundred, surviving by hunting animals and gathering fruits, vegetables, and nuts. It ends about 200,000 years later with their seven billion descendants spread across the Earth. [B] In between is an exciting tale of survival, movement, isolation, and conquest, most of it occurring before recorded history. Who were those first modern people in Africa? What routes did they take when they left their home continent to expand into Europe and Asia? When and how did humans reach the Americas? For decades, the only proof was found in a small number of scattered bones and artifacts that our ancestors had left behind. In the past 20 years, however, DNA technologies have allowed scientists to find a record of ancient human migrations in the DNA of living people. Tracing Ancestry in DNA [C] "Every drop of human blood contains a history book written in the language of our genes," says population geneticist Spencer Wells. The human genetic code, or genome, is 99.9 percent identical throughout the world. The bulk of our DNA is the same. However, the remainder is responsible for our individual differences—in eye color or disease risk, for example. On very rare occasions, a small change—called a mutation—can occur. This can then be passed down to all of that person's descendants. Generations later, finding that same mutation in two people's DNA indicates that they share the same ancestor. By comparing mutations in many different populations, scientists can trace their ancestral connections. [D] These ancient mutations are easiest to track in two places. One is in DNA that is passed from mother to child (called mitochondrial DNA, or mtDNA). The other is in DNA that travels from father to son (known as the Y chromosome, the part of DNA that determines a child will be a boy). By comparing the mtDNA and Y chromosomes of people from various populations, geneticists can get a rough idea of where and when those groups separated in the great migrations around the planet. Out of Africa [E] In the mid-1980s, a study compared mtDNA from people around the world. It found that people of African descent had twice as many genetic differences from each other than did others. Because mutations seem to occur at a steady rate over time, scientists concluded that modern humans must have lived in Africa at least twice as long as anywhere else. They now calculate that all living humans maternally descend from a single woman who lived roughly 150,000 years ago in Africa, a "mitochondrial Eve." If geneticists are right, all of humanity is linked to Eve through an unbroken chain of mothers. This Eve was soon joined by "Y-chromosome Adam," the possible genetic father of us all, also from Africa. DNA studies have confirmed that all the people on Earth can trace their ancestry to ancient Africans. [F] What seems certain is that at a remarkably recent date— probably between 50,000 and 70,000 years ago—one small group of people, the ancestors of modern humans outside of Africa, left Africa for western Asia. They either migrated around the wider northern end of the Red Sea, or across its narrow southern opening. [G] Once in Asia, genetic evidence suggests, the population split. One group stayed temporarily in the Middle East, while the other began a journey that would last tens of thousands of years. Moving a little farther with each new generation, they followed the coast around the Arabian Peninsula, India, and Southeast Asia, all the way to Australia. "The movement was probably imperceptible," says Spencer Wells. "It was less of a journey and probably more like walking a little farther down the beach to get away from the crowd." [H] Archeological evidence of this 13,000-kilometer migration from Africa to Australia has almost completely vanished. However, genetic traces of the group that made the trip do exist. They have been found in the DNA of indigenous peoples in Malaysia, in Papua New Guinea, and in the DNA of nearly all Australian aborigines. Modern discoveries of 45,000-year-old bodies in Australia, buried at a site called Lake Mungo, provide physical evidence for the theories as well. [I] People in the rest of Asia and Europe share different but equally ancient mtDNA and Y-chromosome mutations. These mutations show that most are descendants of the group that stayed in the Middle East for thousands of years before moving on. Perhaps about 40,000 years ago, modern humans first advanced into Europe. Peopling the Americas [J] About the same time as modern humans pushed into Europe, some of the same group that had paused in the Middle East spread east into Central Asia. They eventually reached as far as Siberia, the Korean peninsula, and Japan. Here begins one of the last chapters in the human story—the peopling of the Americas. Most scientists believe that today's Native Americans descend from ancient Asians who crossed from Siberia to Alaska in the last ice age. At that time, low sea levels would have exposed a land bridge between the continents. Perhaps they—only a few hundred people—were traveling along the coast, moving from one piece of land to the next, between a freezing ocean and a wall of ice. "A coastal route would have been the easiest way in," says Wells. "But it still would have been a hell of a trip." Once across, they followed the immense herds of animals into the mainland. They spread to the tip of South America in as little as a thousand years. [K] Genetic researchers can only tell us the basic outlines of a story of human migration that is more complex than any ever written. Many details of the movements of our ancestors and their countless individual lives can only be imagined. But thanks to genetic researchers, themselves descendants of mtDNA Eve and Y-chromosome Adam, we have begun to unlock important secrets about the origins and movements of our ancient ancestors.
