Your Ancestry

Re: Your Ancestry

@sal35

Have you ever wondered about your ancestry? Since childhood days, I was always curious about this subject. In fact, I grew up in an environment where we spoke a different language, wore different costumes, practiced different religion and had an entirely different cousine and looked a bit different from the rest of population and this made me always wonder why we were different. This long deep seated curiosity once drove me to visit a small village in the western part of India where my ancestors lived during nineteenth century. I wish I could find out more about my immediate ancestory.

Just recently I came across a website with an international project whose mission is to retrace the path taken by modern humans when they first left Africa around sixty to seventy thousand years ago. Mother nature has ensured that our ancestry remains embedded in our DNA code. The current path breaking technology is gradually unfolding this mystery of human migration to different parts of the world.

This revolutionary technology is based on two facts: The first fact is that we inherit our mitochondrial DNA code exclusively from the mother while DNA code of Y-chromosome always comes from the father. The second fact is that mitochondrial DNA experiences mutation at a fairly regular interval. These facts coupled with growing human DNA database helped modern geneticist to estimate that our ancestors first left Africa about seventy thousands years ago. The researchers have identified several genetic markers in these codes to establish individual ancestry.

I am soon going to send my own blood sample to participate in this project. If any of you are interested and can afford the cost then here is the web site below:

It would be really nice to share the information and to be delighted to know how we are related to each other.

One final request: Even if you are not interested for the test, at least spread the message so that more and more people participate in this project and help grow the human database which is so crucial to uncover the mystery of human migration.

Good luck with the test

btw You dont need to send any blood! Just a saliva swab from your mouth mouth. Here is an example of what you get:
