I've done the National Geographic project.? It was fun to get the results back and see the path, although I had no surprises (I was hoping for an unexpected ancestral branch on my tree!).?? I haven't yet seen any updates, although it's been a while since I've been back to the site.

Subject: Genographic project & human migration map

If you click on the introduction, you'll find an atlas of the human =
journey. By clicking on each time period (beginning with 200,000 B.C.) =
and then clicking on the video for each period, you will see the current =
theories regarding human migration. Some of the videos talk briefly =
about Paleolithic hunting and use of plants. It is interesting to see =
human migration presented as a visual.
The reason I went to the website was to get information on the =
"genographic project". It is a project where you can order a test kit, =
take a simple saliva test and mail it back. The lab will study your DNA =
and will give you an online report showing the path of the migration of =
your ancestors. I don't have all the information yet, but I think it =
costs about $100 US. As the human genome study continues over time, =
there will be updates to your individual DNA journey. Has anyone here =
participated in it?
