With this simple DNA Ancestry test, your DNA profile is compared against hundreds of global populations and fourteen anthropological regions whose collective genetic information is known and scientifically validated. We then measure the likelihood that your genetic information is linked with each of those populations and regions, and plot the results on a high resolution map which illustrates your unique geogenetic heritage from both a per-population view, and an overall regional view. DNA genealogy has never been so easy to understand!

The science of Ancestral Origins owes a great deal to the late Alan C. Wilson who died in 1991 while short-listed for the Nobel Prize. In his multi-year studies on informative genetic markers for tracking human origins he concluded that we are all related to a female ancestor who lived in Africa about 200,000 years ago - a premise today accepted by geneticists and the basis of comparative DNA.

STR DNA Profile ID Card

The STR Profile of any test applicant will be recorded on a personal identification card that can be stored for your own personal records. The STR Genetic Profile follows the international standard for DNA identification; you may provide this information to law enforcement when trying to help locate or identify an individual (such as a child) in cases of abductions, accidents or natural disasters.

About the DNA Ancestry Map

DNA genealogy using our heritage DNA Test benefits greatly from the experience of one of the world’s top human identity DNA testing laboratories. We've compiled data from scientific publications such as Forensic Science International and The Journal of Forensic Sciences, from organizations such as the Yale School of Medicine, and from our own population databases into what is now called "FoGG DB"": the Focused GeoGenetic Database. We've also developed an analysis suite called FoggPopper" which uses a human DNA profile to pull relevant data out of FoGG DB" and then perform various calculations and follows certain algorithms to arrive at a result which reveals a person's strongest DNA ancestry. The data from this DNA ancestry test is then compiled into a high resolution DNA Ancestry map, personalized for each customer. Each map is broken into three major sections: Population Matches, Native Region Matches, and Strength Indicators.


Ancestral Orgins Info Map



Population Matches: We measure your DNA individually against every population in our database, and mark how strongly your profile matched against each. On the population match map, each population has a shape which tells you which anthropological region that population belongs to, as well as a color to indicate how strong a match you had with it. Green is a very strong match, yellow is a good match, and red means a weak match, or no match was made. In this set of calculations, we also indicate three special anthropological regions, which are actually groups of dispersed populations. A dispersed population is one that has migrated from a native land to somewhere else on the globe.

Native Region Matches: Running a completely new set of calculations, and not using any of our "dispersed population" regions, we determine with which anthropological native regions you have the strongest links. The strongest match is indicated in green; any subsequent matches are indicated in yellow. While the population match map contains data concerning recent migrations to North America, the Native Region map does not, and can be considered more of a "Deep Roots" match.

Strength Indicators: The first strength indicator graph looks at the cumulative strength of each population in your matched regions, and compares them. This way, you not only know how strong individual populations are with the "population match map", but can look at the larger picture, and know how each represented region compares with any you may have matched. A second strength indicator looks at your native region matches (in the smaller map) and simply shows you how each native region compares in strength with any other native regions you may have matched.

Quality, Size, and Personalization

Each map is printed using a photographic-quality five-dye printing process on glossy 17" x 10.6" photographic paper. These images come out rich and beautiful and are suitable for framing and displaying with pride in your home. Because every map is custom made, your map will have "Exclusively prepared for" followed by your name printed on it.

Personalised DNA Analysis Report

Included with your results is a personalised DNA Analysis Report together with an account of historical migration, which will explain how different populations have moved around the world. This coupled with your personal results will give you a more comprehensive insight into your ancestral roots.

Your personal report will include your DNA Profile together with your 'Top 20' Personal Population Matches ranked in order of strength. Click here to view an extract from a Personalised DNA Analysis Report.

Ancestral origins often raise the genetic question of whether the possibility of reverse evolution exists.  Can an organism loop back on itself and revert to a primitive form?

 

A great deal of research has been done, much of it at the Howard Hughes medical institute.

 

Extensive studies indicate that contrary to our opinion of some people, genetically it is impossible.

 

An analysis of the gluticocofrticoid receptor (GR) found in vertebrates proves that evolution moves in one direction — it is a one-way valve.

 

GR is the sister gene of a similar hormone receptor, the mineral corticoid receptor (MR), and both GR and MR are duplicates of a 400 million year old ancestral gene.

 

The ancestral protein encoded by that gene is labeled ANCR and 40 million years ago was the last ancestral link between salmon and us.

 

As an organism moves forward in evolutionary time and adapts to new environments, a multiplex of genetic mutations occurs, the restrictive ones are able to block the path to reversion.

 

Once a genetic adaption works the restrictive mutations permanently block reversion — that bridge is burned.

 

The larger question remains: was evolution an inevitable outcome, or a fortuitous accident.

 

The answer is — a little of both, but tilting in the direction of fortuitous accident.
