Geneticists at Oxford University accept been studying 95 populations to a greater extent than or less the globe to show the effects of historical events on genetic makeup. The results of this written report are right away beingness visualized on a fascinating Google Map, called A Genetic Atlas of Human Admixture History.
The map allows yous to pick out populations together with persuasion inferred admixing inward the population's deoxyribonucleic acid together with the appointment that the admixing took place. For example, the Silk Road appears to accept brought Europeans to 1200 CE China. The deoxyribonucleic acid of the Tu people inward modern China suggests that at to a greater extent than or less this fourth dimension the Tu were inward contact amongst Europeans similar to modern Greeks.
If yous pick out a labelled population on the Google Map yous tin persuasion details of yesteryear admixture events which accept been inferred, from the population's DNA. Colored circles or pie charts on the map push clitoris the inferred genetic make-up of admixing sources inward the population together with a timeline indicates the menstruation when the admixing is probable to accept happened.
The map is a fascinating insight into the effects of historical events on distinct populations. Using the map it becomes clear how historical events similar the Arab Slave Trade or the Mongol invasions led to changes inward the genetic makeup of other populations.
It is a piffling belatedly right away precisely I dear this illustrated map created for the Sochi Winter Olympics. The Sochi 2014 Interactive Map was created using the MapBox platform yesteryear Fiasco Design.
The map includes some dandy animated landmarks (check out the ski lift). It also includes information nearly the venues of the Winter Olympics games. If yous mouse-over features on the map yous tin read nearly Sochi together with the dissimilar venues beingness used inward the games. You powerfulness also respect information nearly Sochi's 2 gay bars together with some hidden underwater machine-guns.
Since the twelvemonth 2000 the globe has lost to a greater extent than than 500 1000000 acres of forest. Global Forest Watch is a novel Google Map from the World Resources Institute together with over xl other global partners designed to map the world's woods coverage together with loss.
Global Forest Watch is attempting to found a global woods monitoring network. The launch of this novel map is purpose of an first to supply the tools for anyone to explore woods loss together with woods gain across the globe. The map includes a expose of layers, including woods encompass together with loss since 2000, worldwide tree peak data, tropical woods carbon stocks together with information nearly global woods use.
The map also includes links to forest-related stories. The links to the stories are embedded on the map at specific locations together with the stories include photos, video, together with explanatory text.
