How closely related are you to Jesse James? Egyptian Pharaoh Ramses the Great? Founding Father Alexander Hamilton? Here’s your chance to learn about the geniuses on your family tree.
Through decades of research and reporting, National Geographic seeks to answer and share fundamental questions about our collective past: how our ancestors migrated from our African homeland, adapted, and populated the Earth. With your help, we are writing this ever-evolving story.
