In this graphic, the arrows symbolize migration of early human ancestors out of Africa. The color mosaic denotes global population diversity resulting from various subsequent inter- and intra-continental and regional migrations. The pedigree represents the complex network of intermediate and recent ancestors that is the subject of individual genetic genealogy testing.
