My Ancient Gene Pools basic test is a great test, I've tried similar tests from other company's but I haven't been given the same amount of Gene pools as I was given with this test. I didn't expect to get this from a free test, there's no catch you get your results and all the info that goes with the Gene pools you match. You are also given suggestions on what tests to take if you want to look further into your Gene pools.

My results for Kent, Prehistory to the Dark Ages basic test were somewhat unexpected I did know I had some ancestry from the area but I didn't expect it to be from so far back in time. It's defiantly worth taking even if you don't know of any ancestry from the area you might be surprised. Lately I've started getting ancient Kent and Canterbury dna matches in my results on another site I use, so it's defiantly an accurate test.

The Makurian Kingdom of King Zacharias III basic test is well worth taking, the results given are very generous. The info that accompanied my closet genetic match Leontios was detailed and interesting, like all the other tests I've taken from Ancient Origins it's gone beyond my expectations.

FAQ

  • Q: What do Ancient DNA Origins offer?

    A: Ancient DNA Origins offers the first and only genetic tests that employ ancient DNA from real ancient people, ranging from the Paleolithic to the mid-19th century. Our tests report your genetic relationships with ancient individuals and cultures from all over the world, like Paleolithic Americans, Icelandic Vikings, or the legendary Tribes of the Biblical Israelites (before their exile).

  • Q: How is Ancient DNA Origins different from other DNA testing providers?

    A: Providers will typically compare your DNA to the DNA of modern people, such as yourself. They cannot teach you about the ancient past. We provide a comprehensive collection of cultures and report your genetic identity at the level of ancient individuals. We also provide genetic, historical, and archeological information about ancient people and cultures at low-cost prices.

  • Q: I am a genealogist. How can I use Ancient DNA Origins for genetic genealogy?

    A: With our tests, you will go far beyond the inventions of photography and paper and discover new connections with ancient people that, thus far, existed only in stories and legends.

  • Q: How accurate are your tests?

    A: Our tests are developed in collaboration with top geneticists like Dr. Eran Elhaik, who has been developing genetic tests for two decades during his tenure at Johns Hopkins University. Dr. Elhaik designed the GenoChip 2.0 kit and test for National Geographic, the GPS Origins kit and test for HomeDNA, and a plethora of tests for Gene Plaza. His Ancient DNA Origins test series is the first to combine paleogenetics and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to achieve an accuracy of 95%.
