The Close Cousins DNA Project Needs Help

Posted by admin on Mar 23, 2009

The Close Cousins Project was born on May 31, 2008 as a result of a discussion on the Genealogy-DNA mailing list on the genealogy site rootsweb.com. The discussion revolved around the question: If we used the same Y-DNA tests that we use for our own genealogical testing on our closest Primate relatives – what would their results look like? How much would it vary from humans? The primary interest was Bonobos and Chimpanzees.

As the project grows, they will need more participants. If you have a contact with a facility that has either Bonobos or Chimpanzees, and if you believe they might be agreeable to testing one of their them – please contact the project administrator at [email protected].
