We’re nerds and we love data, especially when it’s about ourselves. This test is simple to perform. It simply requires mailing away a saliva sample, which gets analyzed in a lab. Once the results come back, you’ll get a detailed view of your ancestry with as many limbs of your family tree filled in as possible. This kit also tracks genetic traits, so maybe I can finally find out where these cursed freckles came from. This is one of the highest-rated kits on the market and it’s likely to go back up in price soon, so don’t sleep on this deal. After all, learning about your relatives and extended family is a lot more fun than having to actually talk to them.
