My dna also tested high for Neanderthal genes, which I am very proud about. Yes, it would be great to have knowledge of personal distant ancestors. Modern tests bring the past alive to an astonishing degree. We see imprints of hands and footsteps, reconstructions of ancient musical instruments. There is amazing reconstruction work by the Kennis brothers.

Perhaps knowledge of dna technology will one day enable archaeologists to reconstruct the likenesses of your own family - wouldn't that be amazing.

Me too! It’s quite fabulous and I’m sure we could communicate well enough with our ancestors using hand gestures and facial expressions.

The Kennis brothers are very skilled.

The handprints and footprints are captivating. To think that ancient people put their hands and feet in the precise spot we may look at …we know exactly where their arms and legs were… I’ll not go on too much; they are enthralling.
