The Bradshaw Foundation, in association with Stephen Oppenheimer presents a virtual global journey of modern man over the last 160,000 years. (...) Based on a synthesis of the mtDNA and Y chromosome evidence with archaeology, climatology and fossil study, Stephen Oppenheimer has tracked the routes and timing of migration, placing it in context with ancient rock art around the world.

Christian Lindholm points out a problem that is becoming more and more pertinent as more and more people engage in digital lifelogging:

"(...) led me to export all my 30.000 items out of Lifeblog (...) a digital archive is vulnerable, I have made decent back-up's of my Lifeblog, have some in London, some in Finland on several HD's etc. still I feel extremely fragile. (...) I am sure most people are worse prepared than I am, the funny thing is I do not think people think about it until the hard disk crashes. (...)"
