Genographic Project

The Genographic Project is a research initiative aimed at exploring human ancestry and migration patterns through genetic testing. Launched by National Geographic in 2005, it involves analyzing DNA samples from diverse populations around the world. The project seeks to trace the origins of human populations and understand how they spread across the globe over thousands of years. Participants can submit their DNA samples to learn about their own ancestral roots, contributing to a larger understanding of human history and genetic diversity. Ultimately, it provides insights into how we are all interconnected through our shared genetic heritage.
