If your ancestors had gone elsewhere
I think if your ancestors immigrated somewhere else then the duration of the trip wouldn't of been the same, so the reproduction wouldn't of been exactly the same as when they made their children so you and your whole family wouldn't exist.

I wouldn't have existed if whatever turn of events that made my ancestors meet and marry each other hadn't happened. The collection of genes that makes me wouldn't be here, it would be something else.

Interesting.
Your Ugandan ancestors must have been taken as slaves to Arabia by Arab slave traders. Then subsequent generations married into the local Arab population before moving further north into Europe. Maybe some of your ancestors were in the armies of the Ottoman Empire that occupied the Balkans and laid siege to Vienna.
The Genographic Project goes back past 60,000 years ago. I like your theory, naturalplastic. A writer could base a very interesting novel on that. The dna results had a map that began in the area of Uganda. I'm guessing that was early humans. They now have The Genographic Project 2.0 which is more detailed and includes testing for Neanderthal dna I am waiting on results from that swab.

I would not know what to say to start the thread. Any ideas? I respond to threads but rarely start them. I have a lot of inertia. Thanks, slave!

I'll start one for you.
I'll call it " The Genographic Project 1.0+2.0 A Participant's Story "

There you go now you won't have to start it....you can just tell us about your part in the project.
Inertia overcome
If my ancestors hadn't pioneered and settled in the the Appalachian Mountains in the 1600's, then they probably wouldn't have been forcibly removed from their land by Teddy Roosevelt and placed in coal mine towns where their pay barely covered food an rent that was monopolized by the coal company. And they wouldn't of had to deal with the U.S. military making sure that striking or leaving was nearly impossible. Today, most of my extended family probably wouldn't be living in third world conditions in the heart of America. My grandfather might not have been the one and only member of the family given the privilege of going to college after the 10th grade (they didn't have 11th or 12th.) If only we had settled elsewhere...
