national geographic has created a somewhat interactive map tracing mitochondrial and y-chromosome lineages across human history and the globe. mapping time and space is difficult enough; additionally each genetic marker is traced, dated and explained in this elegant mashup. when this many things are contained in a relatively small and intuitive document, it seems like you have to make it interactive - not only because everything won’t fit on a static display, but also because each visitor will probably seek out what heshe thinks is hisher own lineage. although, given this, maybe each visitor could just get their own timeline, much in the way that google gives each one of us our own search results.
