Where do you really come from? And how did you get (1) where you live today? DNA studies suggest that all humans today (2) from a group of African ancestors who—about 60,000 years ago— (3) a remarkable journey. The Genographic Project is seeking to chart new (4) about the migratory history of the human species by (5) sophisticated laboratory and computer analysis of DNA contributed by hundreds of (6) of people from around the world． In this unprecedented and real-time (7) effort, the Genographic Project is closing the gaps of what science (8) today about mankind's ancient migration stories. The Genographic Project is a five-year (9) partnership led by National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence Dr. Spencer Wells. Dr. (10) and a team of renowned international scientists and IBM researchers, are (11) cutting-edge genetic and computational technologies to analyze historical patterns in DNA (12) participants around the world to better understand our human genetic roots. (13) three components of the project are: to gather field research data (14) collaboration with indigenous and traditional peoples around the world; to invite (15) general public to join the project by purchasing a Genographic Project Public Participation Kit; (16) to use proceeds from Genographic Public Participation Kit sales to further (17) research and the Genographic Legacy Fund which in (18) supports indigenous conservation and revitalization projects. The Project is anonymous, non-medical, (19) , non-profit and non-commercial and all results will be placed in the (20) domain following scientific peer publication. (81)
