Extreme Geneology

Interesting piece in Newsweek on :

DNA Testing: In Our Blood - Newsweek :

"It is connecting lost cousins and giving families surprising glimpses into their pasts. Now scientists are using it to answer the oldest question of all: where did we come from?"

Explosion in low cost testing and hints as to one's own origins as well as long term studies of human migration trends.

Some participants find suprising ancestors.
