Introductory Videos

Journey of Man: A Genetic Odyssey. The Journey of Man is a documentary that discusses our evolution, our recent history, and how we came to be to the way we are today. It looks at the Y chromosome, that’s passed down from male to male, and tracks the marker mutations to map our ancestors’ journey.

The Human Family Tree. National Geographic documentary on anthropological DNA genealogy.

A lecture by Bennett Greenspan, CEO of Family Tree DNA, about the basics of DNA testing for genealogy.

How to Take a Family Tree DNA Test. Step-by-step video instructions for completing a genealogical DNA test from Family Tree DNA (FTDNA). Tutorial on how to open and swab your check to acquire DNA cells. Does not cover interpretation of results. Not endorsed by Family Tree DNA.
