The National Geographic Genographic Project
People. Men and women, old and young. Today, humans are found everywhere on Earth, in jungle and desert, in boulevard and bazaar. Yet, how did we get there? Where did we come from? And why do we all look so different?

The Code 400 Diversity Council sponsored screenings of National Geographic's Genographic Project in January and February 2007. Many Goddard employees came to watch this amazing program documenting the spread of humans throughout Earth using DNA testing.

After viewing the program, many people inquired about participating in the National Geographic DNA collection program and obtaining a copy of the DVD. The National Geographic website has information on both. A copy of the DVD is included in the kit for people who choose to participate in the DNA collection program. It can also be purchased separately. For more information, please contact Andrea Razzaghi on x6-1386.

These represent the nine basic personality types. + View PDF
