DNA in combination with traditional genealogical research and deductive reasoning can yield incredible results. I've been a genealogist for 33 years and a genetic genealogist for 14. There is no point after which "genes are the same". Genes have been mutating since life began and continue to do so; as such they are our roadmap back to the beginning of man and his subsequent dispersal around the world.
