Ivan got me the July issue of Vanity Fair-- Bono was the guest editor and it was all completely & totally about Africa. You know I have a thing for Africa. Well anyway, maybe I'm stupid, but apparently I missed this in history class, or at least just never really thought about it, history isn't my strong interest, but anyway, did you know that all of us came from Africa? Ok, well I know I've thought to myself, we all really came from the same people if you go back far enough, I just never even thought about where that actually is. It's Africa. Yeah I'm sure if you're reading this you're going, duh. Well it was news to me.
So, anyway, you can participate in a DNA study which will tell you what part of Africa you come from! How cool is that?? As I was reading the article I thought to myself, I want to do this, but I bet it's super expensive. It's not. You can buy the kit for $99.95. You get some info, do a cheek swab, and in about 8 weeks you get the results. I'm gonna do it, not right at the moment since it isn't exactly pocket change, but I do want to know. I mean, how interesting. For girls it goes back through your maternal line and for guys they go through your paternal line. Anyway, here's the website, check it out: https://www3.nationalgeographic.com/genographic/
