Abstract
Science is culture because it helps us answer questions that go well beyond experimental results: From where do we come? and Why are we here? Genetics and palaeontology tell us that we are on a two million year journey: from when the first examples of the genus Homo, our bipedal ancestors, spread from Africa and colonized Eurasia on several occasions; from when, much later, small groups belonging to our curious and resourceful species, Homo sapiens, left Africa again and undertook the exploration of old and new worlds.
