Just wondering if anyone here has taken part in the genographic project? I looked it up on the National Geographic website.

https://www3.nationalgeographic.com/genographic/index.html

Apparently for about $100, they mail a kit to you and you send them your cheek swabs. I could think of a few things I'd rather spend 100 bucks on but on the other hand, it sounds like a good opportunity to finally find out my ancestry. Also, I know I have some Native background - I heard there is a test out there to determine specifically what native tribe(s) you've come from and am wondering if this test would determine this as well? Thanx...

Sounds like an interesting idea though the conspiracy theorist in me thinks it's just the government trying to find suitable humans that can host alien DNA to produce a future race of human/ET hybrids.

Good to see you back on the board!

I have a fundamental mistrust of government, and there is the all-to-real possibility that it is just a front to add my DNA to some sort of database that will later be used against me.

I like to know who I'm sharing my bodily fluids with, and if I'm going to get swabbed between my cheeks, I expect a happy ending. :p
 
I've been back on the board for a little while! As for the all of the conspiracy theories/ government stuff, I don't know, they state on the site that the information will only be used for thsi particular project and nothing else. Apparently, the DNA will be anonymous and not even be available for criminal investigations, etc.

I can volunteer to swab your cheeks for you!
