Nice effort and beneficial.\nThey want to trace back the details of human generations which are vague.\nWell, they "search" for Adam, right?\nThey must believe in creationism rather than evolution.\n\nHopefully people will realise that we humans are all the same. We came from the same root. No more racist solicitation.\nThe theory of evolution is focused mostly on physiques. They do not care to think that men have minds and spirit.\nIt is clearly wrong to define us physically just like the animals. We are better than animals. \nMoreover, we are the best creations. \n\nI do not really get the picture with the female ancestor to date earlier than the common male ancestor. Could you explain to me about that?\n\nIt is weird for woman and man to live not in the same time. How could they reproduce?\n\nMaybe I will come back later. By the way, I think "boffin" means buffoons.\n\n\n\nThank you Kurdiatcha for explaining to me.\nI was not expecting you but the questioner herself but thank you.\n\nI would like to edit some more but have no time.\nHere's a little correction:\n\nWhat I meant by define us physically just like the animals is to take ONLY physique into acount.\n\nThe brain differs from the mind. Animals have brains but not minds. They have life but not soul.\n\nBrain is physique. Mind is defined as the ability to learn and understand things by self, not gifted.\nOf course, we need the help of God to understand about something.\nMind is also the sign of rationality of humans.\n\nI will continue later.\n\n\n\nSorry for keeping you waiting so long, Nelly. I had to take time to make a structure of my next explainations which are:\nThis is going to be quite a LONG lecture.\n\n\nHuman = (Physique) (Mind) (Life) (Soul)\nAnimal = (Physique) (Life)\n\nPhysique = Physique?\nIt is most probably. If to follow the law of balance; equation and relation, Human seems to have more advantages such as Mind and Soul, therefore their Physique must be less advantageous than that of Animal.\n\nLife = Life\n\nSoul = Mind (Feelings) (Life)\nMind = Soul (Life) (Physique)\nFeelings = (Physique) (Soul)\nMind ≠ Brain\nBrain = Mind (Physique) (Life) = Brain\nIn this context, Mind means the controller. Brain of Human and Brain of Animal are similar but not the same.\n\nMind = Soul\nMind + Soul (Animal) = Human\nMind and Soul are similar yet they are not one. Plus, they are parallel. Physique capsulizes Brain where in the Brain lies Mind. Life capsulizes Soul. The parallelism of both must be broken and should be met in order to achieve the same goal; finding God. \nOnce they have combined, the journey of finding God will be clearer.\n\nPhysique (Mind) + Life (Soul) = Human\nSoul + Mind ≠ Human\nPhysique + Life ≠ Human\n\nTherefore, Physique and Life make up Animal’s characteristics. Physique capsulizes Life and Life enlivens Physique. It is mutual symbiosis.\n\nPhysique, Mind, Life and Soul make up Human’s characteristics. Physique capsulizes Life, Soul and Mind, Life and Soul enlivens Physique, Mind controls Physique and Life, so does Soul. Soul controls Mind but Mind decides initially.\n\nConsider Human like a box (Physique) powered by Life externally. Inside the box, there is a ball of Soul and Mind; Mind takes up only the core while Soul is the ball inside out. With the ball, the box is generated internally.\n\nThe three parts: Physique, Life and Soul must be available in order for a Human to love but irrationally minded. Therefore, Mind is the only part of rationality. It is the only part of intelligence.\n\n\nThe above equations show the difference between Human and Animal. I know it is quizzical to you, so it is to me.\nThe sign with the small "l" is actually a small number 1, indicates Human.\n\nWell, if we to trace the generations of human, we must primarily try to understand human. If you do not understand anything, tell me. I will try to make you understand the equation. Even I do n

The goal behind DNA barcoding is that anyone, regardless of training can obtain an organism in the field, sequence DNA, and identify it to species.  This would be done by building a database with almost every species ever described in it.\n\nMost traditional morphologists would not mind the creation of such a database in theory, but oppose it as impractical.  The cost will be quite daunting and will almost certainly draw from funds that could go to traditional studies (including genetic studies conducted in an evolutionary framework).  The ability of this section of gene (CO1) to universally distinguish species has been questioned.  The universality of primers has also been questioned.  The main fear is that it will be perceived as a replacement for traditional taxonomy.  Genetic distance is a very crude approximation of species' splits at best, and a meaningless distraction at worst.

Do you have more information on the project?

I think you should go for it.  Please keep us updated on whether or not you get it.  What a fun experiment.

Try the Human Genome Project\nThere is some other project where you send them a splot of your blood and they tell you your entire family history and migration patterns and everything.\nIt's called genetic anthropology.\n\nSome scientists now believe that everyone can be traced back to 4 major groups of people or something like that.\n\nHere's the only link I found but there are better ones out there.

First off.... Find your interests, in order to make the project fun. What interests you? \n\nYou may be a person like me --that doesn't like science, but be creative.\n\nYou could do a topic on disorders:\n\nAsthma,\nAutism Spectrum Disorder- Is Autism genetic?\nADHD -- Is ADHD genetic?\nAnxiety Disorders-- What causes anxiety? \nOr so and so....\n\nThe last science fair project I did was:\n\n"Does music affect your heart rate?" And, of course, the answer was yes. It was a lot of fun-- I hatre science, but I made it fun.. hehe!\n\nHere are some topics:\n\nSexual Reproduction\nFlowers & Plants\nDisorders; Asthma, Autism, ADHD, Bipolar Disorder, Depression, and other disorders.\nElectricity\nAnimals - if you like animals.\nComputers\nFruit\nGardening\nGuns -- how they work, etc.\nFishing\nFarming\nObesity- why is uncommon/common in US and other countries--why is it un/common in other countries? etc.\nExercise-does it affect heart rate? etc.\nDrugs--does it affect a person? If so/if not, what way/s? \nCooking,\nSkin (human skin, how it's formed, etc),\nSleep--scientific--why do teens sleep more/less than adults?,\nSoaps--which soaps work better? And why?\nWhich fertilizer makes plants grow healthier?\nWhat baby products are the best? And why?\nHealthy foods,\nHow does bike riding enhance your muscle strength?,\n\nHere are some of my ideas, as well as this website. Hopefully, it's helpful.\n\nGood luck!\n\nMichelle

I'm also doing an environmental project (school). I found lots of interesting stuff by asking the people around here. Try that but don't say it's your homework or something.

I recently did a very interesting research project on ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION for Biology 30.\nIt is quite a relevant topic and sure to be an interesting one to talk about. It can't help but grab people's attention. Hey it grabbed yours didn't it?

Aside from the Wikipedia link given above, try the link in my source.  It is a link to the Human Genome Project's official website.  Also in my source is a link to the National Human Genome Research Institute.

it depends from which angel u are looking at this?\nif you are sceintist: it is the discovery of the milennium, becoz with DNA structure u can play with gene to cure any disease in the world.\ncreate a genome map,\ncann create a history of genes in an family,\nget to the root of the diseases\nand so on......\nBut if you are conservative: it is useless to talk about.

Well..Scientific experiment or no, there is a new thing out that when it becomes more popular amoung the general public, I'm SURE it will create quite some controversy..The thing I am talking about are called, GenPets. They are genetically created pets, and I think they are cloned using a splice between a human child and a mole..That's what they look like, and believe it or not, next year, they will be coming available for purchase..Go check out the website for them, i'll leave it on the source thing..It's amazing actually..Living and funtioning clones, and for a pet at that..Biogenetic engineering is such a controversial thing, but I believe if scientists could actually hoan the full potential of it and not just goof around with it, it would be VERY useful!!\nHttp://www.GenPets.com

.........and who would pay for that ?........\nNothing comes free.\nIt is up to the father (generally) or the two persons to choose if they want to know.\nHad read (very unscientific though) that up to 25% of kids in the UK were procreated not by their own supposed father.\n\nBut for people who are absolutely sure where the DNA comes from, I could imagine it as a big slap in the face and regarded as an insult.\n\nAnd anyway........you will have to question the idea of what is personal and what is not and it could be viewed as a great infringement on people's rights and freedom.

DNA technology is fast developing. You can now trace your paternal relatives. Give it a couple of years you can trace your maternal lineage too.

I disagree because, well I started my life with nothing, grew up in the projects, and have now created a small fortune.  I owe no one!  I will walk on anyone who tries to take from me, what I have worked for!\n\nMe and my brother were the only white kids in the projects...  Talk about unfair!\n\nTake your cry for reparations to someone else...  \nI simply don't buy it!

Yeah - let's DNA all cars too.\nGood idea, bud.
