The Genographic Project

This is some major coolness: The Genographic Project. It is a National Geographic project to trace your ancestry of humans in broad strokes using DNA - Y chromosome for men and mitochondrial (mtDNA) for women. You purchase a kit, they assign you a number to keep it anonymous and you send them some DNA and answer a few questions. It only costs a mere $99.95 plus shipping and handling. Anyone care to send me money so I can do it?

    In case you end up twenty bucks short, I offer you a home DNA lab.

    What does "Extract, view and map real DNA (fabricated to mimic real DNA)" mean? Fabricated to mimic real DNA????

    It means "that's all we could afford to bring you a product we can sell for $20."
