The Genographic Project

  • Who Was Your First Ancestor? The Genographic Project Could Have the Answer
    • Have you ever wondered who your first ancestor was? If yes, then this project aims to shed light on possible answers in a 5-year effort "to understand the human journey—where we came from and how we got to where we live today." You can participate for $126.50 (international) and $107.50 (US & Canada). This fee will be used to support the study, and process your DNA. You will be sent a welcome kit that includes a swab kit for you to submit DNA samples from your saliva. Further, all information is anonymous, and results are promised in 4-6 weeks. The study will not provide results saying that your first ancestor is John Doe, but provide a map showing how your ancestors got from the origin of man to where you are today. Sounds interesting people! National Geographic
