The Bradshaw Foundation has posted an interactive website that shows the migration of mankind over the last 160,000 years. Very interesting and very informative.

Genetic Map
The Bradshaw Foundation, in association with Stephen Oppenheimer, presents a virtual global journey of modern man
over the last 160,000 years. The map will show for the first time the
interaction of migration and climate over this period. We are the
descendants of a few small groups of tropical Africans who united in
the face of adversity, not only to the point of survival but to the
development of a sophisticated social interaction and culture expressed
through many forms. Based on a synthesis of the mtDNA and Y chromosome evidence with archaeology, climatology and fossil study, Stephen Oppenheimer has tracked the routes and timing of migration, placing it in context with ancient rock art around the world.
