The Genographic Project

I came across this fascinating project yesterday: "The National Geographic Society, IBM, geneticist Spencer Wells, and the Waitt Family Foundation have launched the Genographic Project, a five-year effort to understand the human journey—where we came from and how we got to where we live today. This unprecedented effort will map humanity's genetic journey through the ages." The journey of the human throughout history (particularly as it relates to India) has always interested me, and I am planning to buy the kit to find out where my own ancient ancestors came from. Buying the kit supports the project and also comes with a map and a DVD. Supriya was playing with the globe in the morning today, and I think the map and the DVD will intrigue her.
