Please forgive me if this is a repeat-post, but I didn't see my earlier posting come through. I received this recently, ordered the kit, and thought others might be interested. The following is the text of the announcement: --- start of quote The Genographic Project has two main components. One is the collection and field analysis of DNA samples from more than 100,000 members of the last remaining indigenous populations on the planet -- compiling one of the largest DNA collections ever assembled. In addition, we're inviting members of the general public to take part by purchasing cheek swab kits and submitting their own DNA for analysis. Individuals will then receive customized genetic maps with specific details of the migratory paths followed by their own ancestors. --- end of quote If anyone is interested, visit: http://nationalgeographic.com/genographic Craig J.
