DNA

We are going to participate in the

The Genographic Project

of the National Geographic Society.

You buy a kit, scrape your cheek and watch your genetic history unfold. Or something like that.

I suppose I will write about it as it happens unless it turns out that I come from a bad line of ancestors. Whatever that might be.

I was going to do one that was free but it turns out that it has quite close ties to the Mormon Church.

Not that there is anything wrong with that.

But I would rather be anonymous and, somehow, rightly or wrongly, the National Geographic Society seems safer with my cheek cells.

Somehow, paying for it give the illusion of safety.

It does all seem a little 1984. But we got through that didn't we?
