Scientists
have shown that a single family tree unites the whole of humanity.
The roots of this tree lie more than 100,000 years
in the past, at a time when our hunter-gatherer ancestors
were living in Africa. As the tree’s branches multiply,
they record the history of our species and the dramatic stories
of how pioneering groups of humans explored and populated
our planet. The different journeys they made shaped the world
we know today.
From a simple mouth swab sent to our testing laboratory in
the University
of London, we can identify key genetic markers within
your unique DNA. By comparing these markers with genetic information
taken from thousands of men and women living all across the
world, GeoGene can for the first time reveal how your personal
family history is descended from these epic events. Find

What is DNA?
Each of us is unique. Every cell of our body contains a copy
of our DNA. Nobody else shares our DNA. DNA is our bodies'
'blueprint'. It describes how we look. Find

How
can GeoGene use DNA to trace my Family Origins?
Our DNA is created from a union of our parents' DNA. A unique
part of our DNA is always inherited from our mother and another
unique part from our father. However, sometimes we inherit
a slightly evolved form of this DNA. By tracing these evolutions
scientists in recent years have been able to trace how our
ancestors migrated from their ancient lands to every corner
of our planet. Find out more...
