Trace your ancestry to Africa with cheek swab and $100Michael sez, "Want to know where your ancestors REALLY came from? $100 and a cheek swab will tell you. National Geographic has developed a five-year genographic study where participants can join in and track their genetic lineage to a common African ancestor. The $100 test will tell you the route that your ancestors took and when, and both the DNA and genographic results will be made available to individual participants on the 'net." Presumably this is not all that interesting to people who live in Africa or those who've recently emigrated, but for the rest of us, it's pretty bad-ass. Link (Thanks, Michael!)
