What are you?
Have you ever heard the term “Heinz 57” when it comes to your ethnic background? If you are like me, you have heard it all your life as an explanation for your nationality. It simply means that you are a “good mix” of ethnicities or more specifically, at some point in your heritage, a “full-blooded” relative deviated from the norm and produced a child with someone outside his/her nationality… and so on, and so on.
DNA
It is thought that our ancient ancestors originated from Africa and began migrating throughout the world and adapted to new environments, thus creating distinct groups and subgroups in our DNA lineage. These ancient ancestral groupings are known as haplogroups. It is these haplogroups that allow DNA laboratories to provide people with results on their ethnic origins.
Our sister company, Sorenson Genomics, has developed a new DNA test dubbed World Wide Ancestry. World Wide Ancestry offers improved technology, enabling anyone to find answers to questions about their earliest family origins. The Sorenson Genomics team has spoken about this new technology at recent industry conferences. It will be available for purchase early next year.
The wonders of DNA never cease to amaze me. My paternity can be determined with a few cheek swabs in a matter of hours. Now, with new science breakthroughs, my DNA will provide surprising detail about my ancient relatives. I can’t wait to share test results with my mom!
