National Geographic has taken on a project that could change the world. Together and with the help of many scientific experts, they will find the true answers to where we have come from and how did they get here. This project is titled "The Genographic Project". The Genographic project is a project that involves world wide participation. Scientists have been placed around the world where they will encounter indigenous groups of people trying to find an answer to their question. They will do this by taking a sample of DNA from people from these groups hoping to find an answer. They would also need as many samples of DNA from people around the world so that they may build a family tree of sorts so that we may trace our existence back to the beginning. Scientists belive that when DNA is manipulated through the life cycle, many change while others stay the same. If they could find those strands that stay the same between us and the many other people around the world, they will be one step closer to finding out this mystery.
