About the test
Journey into the ancient world of Sicily and uncover the lives of your ancestors who inhabited the island over six millennia ago. These early Sicilians were pioneers of agriculture, cultivating wheat, barley, and legumes amidst the fertile landscapes. Their settlements dotted the coastal plains and foothills, fostering communities that thrived on the island's abundant resources.
Central to their lives were beliefs rooted in animism and reverence for nature. They imbued spirits into natural elements, worshiping deities that symbolized fertility, protection, and the cycles of life. Rituals conducted in sacred groves and hilltop sanctuaries honored these spirits, ensuring bountiful harvests and communal harmony.
Artisans, among them, crafted intricate pottery adorned with symbolic motifs, reflecting their spiritual beliefs and artistic prowess. These artifacts, alongside tools of flint and bone, attest to their ingenuity and adaptation to the island's diverse ecosystems.
As you trace your lineage through genetic analysis, you reconnect with the ancient Sicilian heritage, embracing the enduring legacy of resilience, cultural richness, and spiritual connection to the land. Join us in rediscovering the echoes of their beliefs and achievements, which continue to resonate through Sicily's cultural tapestry today.

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 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 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.
