Human genomes are 99.9 percent 6 ; we are far more similarthan diverse. But that tiny 0.1 percent difference reveals 7 to our ancestries. In recent years, as companies havesprung up claiming to trace one’s background through genetic testing, tens of thousands of people have swabbed theircheeks and mailed in their DNA to discover more about where they came from. 8 cousins are finding each other;family legends are being overturned. Six years ago the term “genetic genealogy” was meaningless, says BennettGreenspan, head of Family Tree DNA, a testing firm with 52,000 customers. “Now the interest is huge.”93310As individuals track down their personal family narratives, population geneticists are seeking to tell the largerstory of humankind. The most ambitious effort 9 is the National Geographic Society’s $40 million GeographicProject, which aims to collect 100,000 DNA samples from 10 populations around the world over the next fiveyears. The goal: to trace human roots from the present day back to the origin of our species. To create, says projectdirector Spencer Wells, “a virtual museum of human history.”

No specializedknowledge was needed to erect these structures: the earth excavated from a circular moat was piled up in the center ofthe circle to form a mound, varying in height and diameter. Then tower of wood was erected on the top. The slopingsides of the mound were protected by thornbushes, the barbed wires of the time. It was not a very effective means ofprotection, for it could easily be set alight by the use of burning missiles.The development of residential architecture is striking proof of the growth of building in stone. This technicaladvance was closely linked to the desire for increased defenses. From the middle of the 11th century, chroniclersdrew attention to the use of masonry, and this became the norm in the next century.Nevertheless, the first stone castles kept the rectangular shape of the wooden fortresses. This was not only due toconservatism: they had specific functions—to serve as dwelling places, to contain the great state room or hall as wellas the living rooms—so both their shape and their size were determined, at ground level and above.In the mid-12th century, when the lord gave up the tower for a more comfortable dwelling, it took on a purelydefensive character. Its rectangular plan was abandoned in favor of a circular one.

A switchover to digitalhigh-definition television broadcasts is scheduled to be complete by 2009, rendering inoperable TVs that functionperfectly today but receive only an analog signal. 24 Moreover, in the fashion-conscious mobile market, 98million U.S. cell phones took their last call in 2005. All told, the EPA estimates that in the U.S. that year, between 1.5and 1.9 million tons of computers, TVs, VCRs, monitors, cell phones, and other equipment were discarded. 25 Sowhat happens to all this junk?

(A)An unstated corollary to “Moore’s law” is that at any given time, all the machines considered state-of-the-artare simultaneously on the verge of obsolescence. (B)If all sources of electronic waste are tallied, it could total 50 million tons a year worldwide, according to theUN Environment Programme. (C)Many governments are conscious that electronic waste wrongly handled damages the environment and humanhealth. (D)As viewers prepare for the switch, about 25 million TVs are taken out of service yearly.

(A)For instance, the memory and graphics requirements of Microsoft’s recent Vista operating system spell doomfor aging machines that were still able to squeak by a year ago. (B)An unstated corollary to “Moore’s law” is that at any given time, all the machines considered state-of-the-artare simultaneously on the verge of obsolescence. (C)In theory, recycling gold from old computer motherboards is far more efficient and less environmentallydestructive than ripping it from the earth. (D)If all sources of electronic waste are tallied, it could total 50 million tons a year worldwide, according to theUN Environment Programme.
