Students explore the connections between genetics, human evolution, and genealogy. They combine ancestral DNA results with genealogy research to craft a family tree and narrative, presenting their findings in class and archiving them on the NSUWorks site: https://nsuworks.nova.edu/genealogy-reports/.
