In addition to collecting samples from people all over the world, anyone who is interested can purchase a kit, collect your own DNA using a buccal swab, and send it in for analysis. Using select genetic markers, the Genographic Project will analyze your DNA and map your ancestors’ migratory history. [...]

Not surprisingly, many indigenous groups have expressed their distrust of the project, including the Maori of New Zealand and now Alaska natives. [...]
