New DNA tests show that we all came from African ancestors who, 60,000 years ago – began a remarkable journey. Follow your personal path from this unique group through mapping your genes.

Dr. Spencer Wells shows the new DNA analysis which includes a description of your ancient ancestors.  You also get an interactive map with genetic lineage around the globe and back through history which might surprise you.

Your blood samples can be processed in one of this DNA Project’s ten regional centers. Analysis is completed through a standardized set of scientific criteria. All data is uploaded into the central database, at the University of Arizona via Family Tree DNA, the leading genetic genealogy company which has been selected to perform the public participant testing for the Project.

The whole project sounds cool and since it’s a collaboration with National Geographic and IBM – it’s likely reliable. You can see sample results on their web site, if you are into looking deeper into roots – with a mind for checking into adventures of your ancestors.

You may well find be a few surprises that could even alter who you think you are - into who you’d like to become.
