DNA Quote: Genetic Anthropologist Spencer Wells
by Dr. Hsien-Hsien Lei
Posted February 15, 2008 in DNA Quotes and Excerpts
From a conversation between writer Will Self and genetic anthropologist Spencer Wells published at Seed:
Spencer Wells: I think there’s something inherent in humans that, yes, makes us want to migrate, but also to have that connection to place, even though we’re moving. I think there is something of a wanderlust in our DNA, something that makes us want to explore a little bit further, but at the same time we want to actually be in the place. The way we travel today, you’re not in the place. There’s never any “there” there.
