Some time ago I was told that National Geographic was running a human gemone program where they would send you a kit, you'd send back a sample and they'd be able to tell you where your forefathers came from. I have tried finding it on the net but all I seem to be able to find are published studies and results. Can anyone help?

Here is their website, I'm not sure if they are still sending out kits.

Yes they still sell the kit, but it costs around $100.

The NatGeo website should have info about the kits... on a personal note i HIGHLY recommend participating! The results are fascinating, and although $100 seems pricey, most of it goes towards aiding impoverished global communities that provided samples.
