Ancestral Origins Profile

Discover where your DNA story began

Uncover the deeper layers of your heritage

A unique DNA analysis that explores your ancient ancestral roots, long before modern countries, surnames and ethnicity percentages existed. Unlike standard ancestry DNA tests that focus on the last few hundred years, this profile reveals genetic similarities to ancient populations that shaped modern human diversity. A powerful way to explore identity, heritage, and human connection.

What this test reveals

Using autosomal DNA markers, this analysis compares your DNA with global population reference datasets.

  • Your strongest matching world-region DNA clusters
  • Population affinity scoring
  • Your ancient genetic footprint across migration pathways
  • Illustrated maps and regional explanations
  • A personalised narrative written in a clear, accessible style
  • This is not a percentage breakdown. This is your deep human story, mapped.

Who this is perfect for

  • Anyone curious about ancestry beyond modern records
  • People with mixed or unknown heritage
  • Adopted individuals
  • Personal or spiritual identity exploration
  • Genealogy enthusiasts seeking deeper context
  • Anyone who has already used 23andMe or AncestryDNA and wants more

How it works

My gut health journey!
"I struggled with constant stomach upset and pain for over a year. This test revealed I was intolerant to dairy, wheat, and even yeast! Cutting back on these changed everything—I finally felt relief. Thank you, Susan, for the recommendation!"
H. Guerrini, Curator of Rabbit Hole (formerly at Glastonbury)
