The overwhelming sense of coherence that these results provided me cannot be underestimated. Every individual element of my DNA makes up who I am, and that realization left a profound impact.

These results carried more than just scientific facts; they provided a sense of belonging, a direct connective thread that links me to my far-distant relatives, and a rich history spanning across continents and eras.
