The Genographic Project - Human Migration, Population Genetics, Maps, DNA

My youngest nephew sent me this link to The Genographic Project -- Human Migration, Population Genetics, Maps, DNA - National Geographic.

Do we really know where we come from? How did we get to where we live today? DNA studies suggest that all humans today descend from a group of African ancestors who began a remarkable journey about 60,000 years ago.

It is an interesting article of how the Genographic Project is seeking to chart new knowledge about the migratory history of the human species. Using sophisticated laboratory, computer analysis of DNA contributed by hundreds of thousands of people from around the world.

This Genographic Project is a 5-year research partnership led by National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence, Dr. Spencer Wells, and a team of renowned international scientists and IBM researchers.

Have you had your DNA tested? Do you want to connect to your ancestry and see who you connect to as they are doing in this article?
