DNA and History of Human Migration: Mind Blown.


         Hello all,

Recently, I noticed, while reading over http://www.biologynews.net/, that the National Geographic Society announced that they are launching a research initiative to map human migration using DNA. Part of this project allows for volunteers to give DNA samples. They would receive data and results showing their ancestral migration and even whether they have descent of Neanderthals! Is that not mind blowing?!? I, for one, am very excited about this project and am eager to know if I would qualify to participate. Think, you could know almost exactly where your ancestors traveled thousands and thousands of years ago. Anyway, I absolutely recommend reading this article at http://www.biologynews.net/archives/2012/12/05/national_geographic_unveils_new_phase_of_genographic_project.html .
