Ancient DNA Hub is a leading platform offering DNA test kits (GPS Origins) and DNA tests - all custom-designed by Dr. Elhaik to advance our understanding of ancient human populations and their genetic legacies. Our mission is to create an accessible, collaborative space where researchers, scholars, and enthusiasts can explore and share insights into the complex histories hidden within ancient DNA.
At Ancient DNA Hub, we develop advanced genetic tests that harness AI and cutting-edge paleogenomic tools and methodologies to uncover ancient societies' genetic diversity, migration patterns, and cultural evolution across millennia. We aim to build a comprehensive picture of how our ancestors adapted, interacted, and influenced each other by integrating a wide array of data- from DNA sequencing to archaeological records.
Our platform is a nexus for the global ancient DNA community, offering resources, publications, and discussion forums. We believe collaboration is key to unlocking the full potential of ancient DNA studies, and we invite scientists, students, and history enthusiasts to contribute to and benefit from this vibrant research community.
Join us at Ancient DNA Hub and become a part of a journey through time, where every discovery brings us closer to the roots of human history.

MEET THE FOUNDER
Dr. Eran Elhaik – Founder, Researcher & Director
Dr. Elhaik is the co-owner and CEO of Anath Genomic Consultants AB.
Dr. Elhaik has a PhD in Molecular Evolution. He did his two post-doctorate studies at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health. He is an Associate Professor of population, medical, and evolutionary genomics at Lund University, Sweden. He is a scholar, explorer, and entrepreneur.
Dr. Elhaik is passionate about Paleogenomics, Medicine, History, Mythology, and Anthropology and has participated in archeological excavations where he collected ancient DNA samples.
Dr. Eran Elhaik is a renowned scientist specializing in genetic genealogy and population genetics. He has made significant discoveries in ancient DNA research, including the dating of the most ancient Y chromosome (A00), which shed light on the early male lineages of humanity. In a groundbreaking study, he led the discovery of Ancient Ashkenaz, tracing the origins of Ashkenazic Jews to ancient settlements in northeastern Turkey, offering insights into their genetic and historical roots.
Dr. Elhaik is widely recognized for his work in developing cutting-edge DNA tests, including the design of the GenoChip for the Geographic Project of National Geographic and the creation of the GPS Origins test for HomeDNA, which pinpoints ancestral locations of one's two ancestors with high precision. He also developed the My Origins test series for GenePlaza, helping people uncover detailed aspects of their ancient genetic background that were otherwise lost. In 2024, Dr. Elhaik acquired the Ancient DNA Hub website, whichAncient DNA Hub is based on, further advancing his mission to provide personalized ancestry testing based on ancient DNA.
