About the test

Before European colonization, the island of Hispaniola, where the Dominican Republic is located, was inhabited by the Taino people. They were known for their advanced agricultural practices, vibrant art, and unique religious beliefs, which included worshiping Zemi figures. The arrival of Christopher Columbus in 1492 marked the beginning of European colonization, which changed the landscape of the island. This test includes the ancient DNA of the people before the European colonization, allowing you to reconnect to the native inhabitants of the island.

Why take this test

Up until 2010, reading the DNA of ancient people was a dream. Since then, the DNA of a 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 leap forward in technology allowed the creation of a new type of DNA test — 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 Origins 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 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.
