Excellent and informative summation of the National Genographic project's exciting work tracing earliest origins. Thank you for your kind notice, Dr. Vilar! Click anywhere in the image below or visit the referenced link to view the presentation.   Well, let's see. I knew about my Native American and my European ancestry -- and now, my latest, revised, Ancestry report tells me about my "Mali" heritage out of Africa too! DNA testing frees the history we carry within ourselves! From Ancestry: "Primarily located in: Burkina Faso, Ivory Coast, Liberia, Mali, Sierra Leone. About this Region: Mali’s modern boundaries were drawn in 1890, when French Sudan was created, and united two very different regions: the Sudanian savannas in the south and the Sahara Desert to the north. These man-made borders make our Mali region a mix of diverse peoples, but geography has always played a key role in Mali’s history and people. The savannas at the edge of the desert made the area a natural center for trans-Saharan trade, which connected western Africa with Europe and Asia in precolonial times. For centuries, Mali was a fabled land of gold, scholarship and empires." Ancestry always makes our family origins sound so romantic -- when in fact, my African ancestry came into my family lines through the slave trade as it took place in Colonial Maryland.
