About the test
Embark on a journey to meet your ancestors who inhabited the caves of Abruzzo, Apulia, Verona, Veneto, and Sicily over 30,000 years ago. These early humans, known for their resilience and ingenuity, navigated a world vastly different from our own.
Inhabiting the rugged landscapes of Italy, they developed sophisticated tools and artistry that reflected their deep connection to the natural world. These cave-dwellers crafted intricate artifacts, such as figurines and tools, which not only served practical purposes but also held symbolic meaning in their spiritual beliefs.
Their worldview was shaped by animistic beliefs, where spirits inhabited the natural elements around them. Rituals and ceremonies conducted within the caves were intended to honor these spirits and ensure the fertility of the land and the success of their hunts. These ancient beliefs provided a framework for understanding and interacting with their environment, guiding their daily lives and shaping their cultural identity.
Through the lens of genetics and archaeological discoveries, we uncover the stories of these early Europeans, shedding light on their survival strategies, artistic expressions, and spiritual practices. Their journey through millennia echoes in the genetic heritage of modern populations, offering a profound connection to our shared human ancestry.
Join us in rediscovering the world of these cave-dwelling ancestors in Italy, where the echoes of their beliefs and achievements resonate through time. Through the exploration of their archaeological remains and genetic traces, we invite you to connect with the ancient roots that continue to shape the cultural tapestry of Italy and beyond.

Why take this test
Up until 2010, reading the DNA of ancient people was a dream. Since then, the DNA of a Neanderthal who lived over 30,000 years ago has been sequenced. After that reading, the DNA of ancient people who lived from 15,000 BC to 1,800 AD all over the world became the main object of paleogenomic research. This leap forward in technology allowed the creation of a new type of DNA test — tests that do not use modern-day populations as stand-ins for the ancient tribes but rather go right to the source and study these ancient peoples themselves.
The Ancient DNA Origins DNA test is the first next-generation DNA test. It is designed solely using the DNA of ancient people throughout history using our novel technologies.
With this test, you will receive a precise ancient ethnicity estimate with far greater geographical details than you could imagine. You will make new connections with historical people and places where your ancestors lived, walked, battled, created, and dreamed thousands of years ago. Using genetic data and evidence from history and archeology, we can revive the past and allow you to take part in this story at the most personal level.
