I'm curious about it, and I think it would be fun in that "read your horoscope daily" sort of way.

I have to agree, I too am skeptical of the kit thing, knowing it is a bit more complex than that.

But hell, if Henry Louis Gates can get away with it on PBS swabbin' Oprah and Chris Rock--if I had $100 to throw away, I'd do it, sure.

I loved the "African American Lives" series--it made for great TV. Kinda like picking curtain number 3 with Monty Hall.

Alice, I'm assuming you are a Christian, so are referring to the creation myth of Adam and Eve? No disrespect intended.

But I wanted to mention this cool book I picked up years ago and read one summer while I was doing my annual retreat to the woods for a few weeks. You might be interested in it. It is called "The Seven Daughters of Eve: The Scioence that Reveals Our Genetic Ancestry" by Bryan Sykes.

That was a fun read for a geek like me, in the same way the "African American Lives" PBS program was fun. Except the book was far more informative and revealing about the whole science of genetics bit.
