Who's Your Daddy

The Genographic Project is a exploration of human genetics run by the National Geographic Society and IBM. Described as a "five-year effort to understand the human journey—where we came from and how we got to where we live today." it aims to link up a genetic tree back to the first humans. You can also participate yourself. "With a simple and painless cheek swab you can sample your own DNA. You'll submit the sample through our secure, private, and completely anonymous system, then log on to the project Web site to track your personal results online." With this DNA they will reveal to you your genetic ancestry and map genetic background through the ages. I'm not entirely sure I'd like my DNA on file yet, although they do say they insure total anonymity.
