National Geographic's Genographic Project

The National Geographic Genographic Project aims to map human migration and ancestry by analyzing DNA from participants worldwide. By examining genetic markers, the project tracks ancient human movements and how populations are related. It helps us understand our shared history and where our ancestors came from. Participants contribute a small DNA sample, often from a cheek swab, which is then studied to uncover patterns of migration and genetic diversity across regions and populations. Overall, it provides insights into human evolution, migration, and the interconnectedness of all people.
