January 26, 2009. I'm writing this from Mumbai, still known to the locals as Bombay, where I had been invited to give a lecture on the Genographic Project at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) during their annual TechFest. This is the largest science and technology gathering in Asia, attracting an estimated 40-50,000 people over the course of its three-day, jam-packed event schedule. Organized entirely by students, it attracts participants from around the country, including six other Asian nations this year.
