Genographic Project

Now playing: Switchfoot - This Is Your Life

You can relax, I won’t be talking about fur balls or stomach flu today.

I received a note today about IBM teaming up with the National Geographic Society to conduct a study in human genographics.  You can read more about it here.  Basically, they send you a kit for $100, you give them a DNA sample, and they tell you where your deep ancestors came from.  It seems like a pretty fascinating concept, and I’m seriously thinking about participating.  The price is a little high, but since IBM is a partner, they are offering their employees a slight discount on the kit.
