genetics can take us back to our beginnings, to our ancestral roots
Explore your ancestry. Find your distant relatives in the genetic atlas.
Ancestry is one of the most exciting areas of genetic exploration
DNA studies show that we all descend from a common ancestral group of humans that originated in Africa about 200 thousand years ago. About 70 thousand years ago, the descendants of these first humans began colonizing other parts of the world.
Explore your similarity to 50 different populations in the genetic atlas
In the genetic atlas your genetic code is compared to 50 different populations from all over the world. The greater your similarity to a particular population, the more likely you have ancestors that belonged to that group in the past and relatives in the present.
What can you learn?
Do you have Native American ancestry? Where in Europe, Asia or Africa did your ancestors originate? The genetic atlas can be used to help answer such questions.
