Have you ever tried to ____ through your DNA? ‘Genealogy tracking’ has ____, with companies charging up to $300 to ____ specific ethnic groups. You might be surprised by what you find. Although all our ancestors began their journey millions of years ago in Africa, you could discover that you have Viking, Irish, Turkish or Indian ancestors too! How does it work? The company needs your DNA (taken from saliva from the inside of your cheek). Your DNA ____ aspects of your looks, your health and even your behaviour. DNA contains genetic sequences ____ many different generations, so it enables the company to ____. The fact is we’re ____. Humans share 99.9 per cent of the same DNA. We also ____. As we ____, we double our number of ancestors with every generation: we have two parents, four grandparents and so on. After ten generations, we have over 1,000 ancestors and we soon find that we share ancestors with others. This, of course, means that you may discover cousins ____! Many scientists argue that the ____, while others suggest we shouldn’t ____. Each of your genes ____, so there are thousands of possible versions of your genealogy. So if a company finds a connection between a particular sequence of your DNA and an ethnic group, it’s a possibility, but not a fact. Genealogy tests aren’t perfect, but they’re a wonderful way to ____ and celebrate the human family. What I find interesting, personally, is how people react to them. Recently, I watched a video that went viral. In the video, some participants were delighted to ____ their DNA. Others disliked what they learned about their identity. Here are two stories that I particularly enjoyed. I enjoyed watching Jay because he represents common attitudes. Jay is English and proud of it. Although he doesn’t ____, he clearly ____ his origins. He’s only in his twenties, yet he sounds old when describing how his family served in the Second World War in the 1940s and why that means he doesn’t like Germany! Jay’s not keen on Turkey either, but can’t say why. Like many people, he’s ____ a place he’s never been to. Jay is convinced that he knows what his DNA results will reveal: that he’____. Like many people, he believes that his nationality depends on where he, his parents and his grandparents were born, so he’s shocked when the results come back: he’s English, Irish, German and Turkish! I like how he ____ and with good humour. The test clearly ____ the world and his identity. Ellaha is a young Kurdish woman whose story ____. She explains how her people are separated across four countries. This hurts her and is the reason why she ____ the governments that were responsible, though she’s more ____ the people from those countries. Ellaha is both excited and scared about her results. She spends two weeks before the test ____. Who is she? How can she be Kurdish without a country? When the results arrive, her hands are shaking. She’s 79 per cent from Iran but also part Turkish and part Jewish. It’s an emotional moment. My favourite part is the end. Incredibly, the company has traced a distant cousin. He and Ellaha have genes in common and ____ 150 to 220 years ago. The test teaches Ellaha that she’s not alone. She’s part of the human family which unites rather than divides us.
