Who are you?
More and more people are trying to trace their ancestry with a quick DNA test. A new book -- and my own experiment -- show that science can reveal some interesting things about your past, but not necessarily what you want to know.

  • stolen from africa?

    Nice story, but you claim that "African-Americans want to know which part of the mother continent their people were stolen from." Did you get this from advertising material or personal bias? Sadly, most people, of any race, who were enslaved were sold by family members, not stolen.

    I know, I know. Not very PC. Flame on.
