About the test
Amerindians of North America: Complete Ancestral Compendium
Are you ready to embark on a journey through the deep and diverse human history of North America? From Ice Age hunter-gatherers to legendary leaders of the Plains, from the seafaring Chumash of California to extinct PaleoIndian groups and resilient Maya communities, this compendium brings together more than 12,000 years of reconstructed genetic heritage. It is an exploration of real people who navigated oceans, mastered harsh landscapes, built powerful societies, survived cataclysmic change, and left enduring legacies across the continent—long before modern borders and written history.
What tests are included in this compendium?
This compendium merges six of our premier genomic reconstructions, each representing a distinct culture, region, and historical era of North America and Mesoamerica. Together, they provide an unparalleled view of Indigenous ancestry—from the earliest PaleoIndian pioneers to historic-era leaders whose DNA continues to resonate today.
Each component of this compendium offers a richly immersive view into the peoples who shaped North America and Mesoamerica across millennia. Your personalized profile integrates genetic data with historical, archaeological, and anthropological context—revealing how Ice Age pioneers, coastal navigators, Plains leaders, extinct PaleoIndians, and Maya communities contribute to your ancestral story. Reconnect with these extraordinary people and discover how your own lineage may intersect with one of the deepest and most remarkable human histories on Earth.

Chumash Paleo Indians (477–1828 AD)
Explore the maritime world of the Chumash—master canoe builders, traders, and coastal navigators of California’s Channel Islands and mainland shores. This test reveals the genetic legacy of communities that thrived for centuries among kelp forests, canyons, and ocean currents, developing one of North America’s most advanced maritime cultures. -
Famous Ancient Men of North America (10,762 BC–933 AD)
Travel back to the continent’s earliest chapters with reconstructed genomes of iconic individuals spanning the Late Pleistocene through the early medieval era. These men represent foundational PaleoIndian and Archaic populations whose migrations, survival strategies, and innovations shaped the genetic landscape of ancient North America. -
Lakota Sioux Chief: Sitting Bull (1831 AD)
Connect to the reconstructed genome of Tatanka Iyotake—Sitting Bull—one of the most revered leaders in Lakota and North American history. His ancestry reflects the deep roots of the Hunkpapa Lakota of the Northern Plains, a people defined by resilience, spiritual depth, and resistance to colonial expansion. -
Maya: Post-Columbians (1519–1610 AD)
Discover the genetic heritage of Maya individuals living in the first century after European contact. These reconstructions illuminate cultural continuity, demographic change, and survival during one of the most transformative periods in Mesoamerican history, highlighting the endurance of Maya identity. -
Pericúes: Extinct PaleoIndians (7100 BC–1450 AD)
Meet the Pericúes—an isolated and now-extinct people of Baja California Sur whose deep ancestry, distinctive morphology, and unique cultural adaptations have fascinated researchers for generations. This test uncovers the genetic legacy of one of North America’s most ancient and enigmatic populations. -
Maya: Bat-Man God Worshippers (7584–1910 BC)
Step into the ritual world of early Maya societies, marked by bat symbolism and underworld cosmology. This reconstruction explores deep prehistoric Maya ancestry, belief systems, and long-term population continuity in Mesoamerica—offering insight into religious traditions that shaped later Maya civilization.
Each component of this compendium offers a richly immersive view into the peoples who shaped North America and Mesoamerica across millennia.

Why take this test
Up until 2010, reading the DNA of ancient people was a dream. Since then, the DNA of the Neanderthal who lived over 30,000 years ago has been sequenced. After that reading, the DNA of ancient people who lived from 15,000 BC to 1,800 AD all over the world became the main object of paleogenomic research. This forward leap in technology allowed the creation of a new type of DNA tests — tests that do not use modern-day populations as stand-ins for the ancient tribes but rather go right to the source and study these ancient peoples themselves.
The Ancient DNA Hub DNA test is the first next-generation DNA test. It is designed solely using the DNA of ancient people throughout history using our novel technologies.
With this test, you will receive a precise ancient ethnicity estimate with far greater geographical details than you could imagine. You will make new connections with historical people and places where your ancestors lived, walked, battled, created, and dreamed thousands of years ago. Using the genetic data and evidence from history and archeology, we can revive the past and allow you to take part in this story at the most personal level.
