Jumbo. History has created a genetic melting pot. "And by taking a sample of your DNA of your genes we can say something about the people you're related to in the past, your ancestors." If the Y chromosomes here lead to a common ancestor for all these ethnic groups, they could lead us to Adam.

"If you could open your mouth?" Wells takes samples from 25 local men. "Great, thank you." "OK, you could open your mouth? Where was your mother born?""Siew（未知地名）." DNA analysis proves there are men on Pate from all over the place. "Thank you." With ancestors from Africa, Europe, Arabia, India, and the Fertile Crescent of the Middle East. There is more genetic variation on this tiny island of Pate than in many countries.

And the samples show something critical. They point to a new super ancestor. Even though the Y chromosomes come from all over the world, they almost all have something in common--a particular mutation that scientists call M1-68. In fact, men all over the planet share this mutation. Genghis Khan and the San Francisco Mongolians have it; Thomas Jefferson has it; Wells himself has it. Nearly three billion men share this mutation. And it means they are all descended from one man. It's a staggering thought. Genghis Khan could have fathered millions, but the man who first had this genetic mutation had billions of descendants.

We are near the bottom of the tree. Could this man--M1-68--be Adam? There is only one problem. On the Kenyan island of Pate, Spencer Wells found one man who doesn't fit. His Y chromosome doesn't have the critical mutation. It's a crucial clue. And he is not the only one. There are others who are not descended from M1-68. So he can't be Adam. M1-68 is far down the tree, but not its base. And the Y chromosome from the odd man out on Pate, gives us the final piece of our puzzle. The man's lineage originates in East or South Africa.

odd man out:a person who differs from the other members of a group

Well it's always a nice surprise when you are standing in line at a grocery store and you spot People magazine's annual "Sexiest Man Alive" issue.

Especially, if you happen to be the "Sexiest Man Alive", of course, you don't have that experience, but Julie Jordon is People magazine's special correspondent and she's here to reveal this year's "Sexiest Man Alive".

Julie! Good morning!
Good morning!
How many years have you been doing this?
Many!
And it's always fun.

Many, many, many?
22 years!
It's always good!
And you got to tell off this morning who's gonna be on the cover.
Yes! Finally, Matt Damon for the weekend.
Wow!
Yeah!
Right! The cam(paign), the campaign worked.

You know, you know women had campaigned. Did He campaign for it?

Well, you know. Brad and Matt have always said that he is deserving. And this is a guy who actually said that he didn't want to be the sexiest man because he considers himself, you know, a suburban housedad.
So we enlisted the help of friends like Ben Affleck, George Clooney. George said that he and Brad have actually worked with Matt on his walk and his posture. And that's why, that will be a very good topic here.

Ah, those guys! That's good.
I didn't think he had a bad walk.
In fact, somebody wrote a letter on his behalf, isn't there?

Actually Matt wrote me a letter, yeah!
He wrote a letter.
Yeah! And it was just so great. And it only showed why we chose him, so with his permission, we will print it in the issue and it's pretty fantastic.
I say, and I think he says that you've made an aging suburban dad the ego boost of a lifetime, part of the letter.

Exactly, well now he can get ... in addtion to a laughing, so...
Oh, I mean, Come on. The guys are really the born trilogy. I mean, he's hot. He's....This...
And this is his year.
I mean, in love with wife and in love with his kid.
Why it takes so long?

Well, you know, we just, we, we wanted it look like the, the campaign going and make sure that um, all the readers were as excited as we were. And yeah, this is just fun for him. It's fun for all of the families and friends, and makes for a good story.

Alright!

When will it get out on People magazine?
(when does it hit newsstands?)


On newsstands tomorrow.
Ok. You've heard it here first. Julie Jordon. Thanks so much!
Thank you!
Thank you guys.
A lucky job you've got.
Ah Yeah. . . . . my pleasure!
Okay. Anyway...

Comparing this Y chromosome to thousands of men from all over the world, reveals a critical discovery. These mutations originating in Africa appear on every Y chromosome in every man in the world today. These are the universal mutations we’ve been looking for. We follow the DNA trail all the way to the bottom of the tree. Every branch leads to one man, one Y chromosome, there must have been one man gave rise to all men alive today. He is the ultimate super ancestor, he is scientific Adam. One of his descendants was M-168. He was the forefather of the ancient Middle Eastern ancestor of Thomas Jefferson. He gave rise to Genghis Khan’s Y chromosome. In fact, all the Y chromosomes in the world trace back to this one African man. He is scientific Adam.

Wales believes the pattern of African Y chromosomes puts his birthplace somewhere in the Great Rift Valley region of
East Africa, perhaps Tanzania or Ethiopia. He thinks this is scientific Adam’s homeland, his Garden of Eden.

Genetics can date the ancient Y chromosome mutations to calculate the age of scientific Adam. Wales believes he was born around 60,000 years ago. It sounds ancient, but it means our search for a common ancestor has not led us all the way back to a time of ape men. Or even to primitive beings like Homo Erectus. Compared to the billions of years of human evolution, we found Adam in the recent past.

The critical discoveries of where and when Adam lived prove he could not have looked like this. For the first time, it’s possible to paint a new portrait of Adam, based on science. Facial reconstructions have shown what other ancient humans might have looked like. We have images of earlier beings, like Homo Erectus, and the ancient pre-human known as Lucy. These faces are all based on fossil skulls, but there are known text ''skulls'' from Adam’s time.
