Genographic Project: A Landmark Study of the Human Journey (Friday's Fact)

Did you know that according to innovative DNA studies your first ancestor was possibly an African who lived approximately 60,000 years ago? You too can map your genetic history by supplying National Geographic's Genographic Project with a sample cheek swab of your DNA and see how far back in time and from where you came from. The tests are performed anonymously and point to your ancient genetic lineage. The test will not provide specific information on genetic defects or what your great granddad looked like but it will help unmask some of your past. I know one person who has taken the test and determined that his genes go back to over 10,000 years to Russian heritage. Have any of you taken the test?

Last weeks fact is Libya. The flag is simply green.
