I've just started blogging ten days ago on WordPress and at the same time doing a 'writing' course; a sort of 'beta test' for possible online MFA programme. The question came up 'where do stories come from' and my first thought was 'out of Africa' fifty or a hundred thousand years ago. A little research led to the mitochondrial DNA and the DNA Ancestry project (so I began a meandering account 'From apes to gates' - not exactly a 'bloggers niche' thing but fun anyway. But DNA social networking? I'm not really sure what that means - eventually we are all connected, according to the 'biological Adam and Eve' view. How close will depend (I suspect exponentially, an as with half of a half of a half...)on how far back we can go with tracing blood ancestors. It's an intriguing notion Peter This is strange.

Having paid for a test, and provided my DNA I have had no results just over 6 and a half months later with the DNAancestryproject company not responding to my emails or returning my calls. From what I read on other sites, I'm not alone... Sounded like a good idea at the time.

It seems odd, but like they say blood, or rather haplogroups and markers are thicker than water. Scientists recently developed a new computer algorithm that could help anyone trace their <a href="http://www.sciencebase.com/science-blog/science-helps-dig-up-your-genetic-family-tree.html" rel="nofollow">genetic ancestry</a> in minutes without any prior knowledge of their background. db And why not indeed?

There's no innovation at all in what she's doing. She's copying, and even trying to imitate what National Geographic's Genographic Project is doing (www.genographic.com).
