Welcome to the Genographic Project's blog, Genographica!
Not yet familiar with the Genographic Project? It's a landmark, five-year study using DNA as a study tool to map how humankind populated the planet. You can check out our comprehensive Web site by clicking here.
Genographica will feature posts from all of the Genographic team, from our scientists based around the world, our teams at National Geographic and IBM plus guest posts as well. Want to get to know the people behind the posts? They are all featured in the section of our website entitled "Field Research."
I hope you'll check back often and follow along with us as our work carries on...!
