The Genographic Project has three core components:

Field Research - Collecting DNA samples and field research
with indigenous populations are central to the project. Blood
samples from indigenous populations, whose DNA contains key
genetic markers that have remained relatively unaltered over
hundreds of generations, are reliable indicators of ancient
migratory patterns.nationalgeographic.
