Migration and genetics
Thursday January 26th 2012 at 19:30

There’s been a huge explosion of interest in genetic genealogy and personal DNA testing. But how much do we know about the migration of our ancestors? What do we really want to discover from DNA tests? How much will genetics really be able to tell us about ourselves?

Join facilitator George Alagiah, archaeologist and author David Miles, geneticist Dr Turi King and Patrick Vernon to discuss these issues and more. They will be joined by Yorkshireman John Revis, who shares the surprising results of his own DNA test.

This event is organised by the Migration Museum Project.

There will be a drinks reception sponsored by the Science Museum from 18.30 to 19.30.
