not the kit
Actually the discovery of 30 000 genes not 100 000, in the human genome was surprising.
I participated in the Human Genome Project as a "technologist" in the physical and data analysis aspects of the sequencing at the High Throughput Sequencing Center of the former Molecular Biotechnology Department at the U of WA, one of many centers. I am not certain of the source of the human DNA.
Actually, my uncle is employed by National Geographic. He is known for his discovery of th "Ice Maiden". They supported some sequencing in this area.
I was thinking about taking the new test.
The Nat Geo test is about $100, Family Tree DNA ranges from about $150 to $1000

This company is involved in surname validation for Y chromosome. Father Sanchez is involved here; he is the guy who found out he had the marker for the Cohanim, or priestly Hebrew ancestry descended from Aaron, because some of his Hispanic ancesters were Ladino, or whatever. I think he has Native American mitochondrial markers on his mothers side.
They have a Jensen start with a few entries I think.
I have a copy of the book and also the DVD by Spencer Wells, called:
"The Journey of Man". Apparently it is included in the kit, ie the DVD.
Actually, I participated in some of the sequencing in the Human Genome Project, and my uncle is an anthropologist, so this is right up my interest alley.
