No separate account is needed for that and can be operated from the common Google account only. We have to just add a subscription once for all three blog posts.<br /><br />The biggest drawback in Google Reader is we can’t read or write comment through that, but marking it as like or unlike, email, share with note etc. can be done.<br /><br />Proton Varun Agrawal<br />Fall 08 BatchVarun Agrawalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16897397053885196758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8647794548092946175.post-74016965606293334072009-10-03T01:28:41.898+05:302009-10-03T01:28:41.898+05:30Respected Sir,

The best thing about them is that they are on various areas.<br /><br /> In this blog I had some doubt...<br />1- Is our DNA based on only our father or mother’s DNA also plays a role in that?<br />2- If yes then the DNA of our forefather would differ a lot from us as it would change at each generation.<br />3- Also location of our parents would differ (suppose one of them belongs to Africa and other from Europe) than how can we predict about us, what about our forefathers than.<br />4- If it do not depend on our mother and is same throughout the generations than DNA of all the humans would be almost same (as per the Adam and Eve story).<br /><br />Regarding comments as most of them refer it to the communal harmony but I disagree to that since harmony depends upon human character and circumstances since<br /><br />1- The relation between India and Pakistan is always a hot topic while all of us know that they both belong to one nation ie. Hindustan.<br />2- Today intra communal fights have started, while they all know that they are one.<br />3- Even siblings fight (Ambani brothers), will they stop for their ancestors’.<br /><br />Proton Varun Agrawal<br />Fall 08 BatchVarun Agrawalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16897397053885196758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8647794548092946175.post-62933063468600770212009-10-01T00:35:55.399+05:302009-10-01T00:35:55.399+05:30hello sir,

When we first think or talk about ...<b><br />Namaste sir.. <br /><br />When we first think or talk about the root of humans.. Generally one thinks.."Who cares?" But it is really a great deal to know about the ancestors of humans. If we know the genome or genetic structure and its special characteristics, we can deal greatly with any kind of disease (AIDS,Cancer, Swine flu.. yes any disease...)and can make more effective drugs with enhanced activity and lesser adverse effects.<br /><br />Evolution and exisistance of humans both are great mistries themselves... We can solve this mistry with the help of genetics and cellular microbiology.As the article was full of information and excitement,I thoroughly loved it.<br /><br />I would also love to relate this article with the recent studies based on cellular microbiology and genetics...<br />well, recently CCMB(centre for cellular microbiology) and Haward university research(appeared in Times of India -25th September,2009) suggested that all Indians are having one root only. And "Aryans"(north Indians) and "Dravidans"(south Indians) are two misconceptions or myths as per this studies.Present days Indians are mixture of North and South, with genomic strains from two distinct ancestors - The ancestral North Indian and Ancestral South Indian.and such studies can help to understand genomic structure of particular group of people and hence treatment of any disease can be made more effective.<br /><br />Now, it seems possible to know our earliest ancestors. Quite possible that we may not know the names and hometowns of our great grandparents but we will certainly know the earliest ancestors of humanity in near future due to such initiatives Genographic project by national geographic. I do love to congratulate you also as you have actively have participated in such global initiative.<br /><br />But as the whole, Cellular microbiology is the feild which can lead to our ultimate aim and can actually give the answer that whether there had been any "Adam" and "Eve" or it was all about step by step evolution of human. <br /><br /><br />Thank you..<br /><br />from-<br />Paridhi Trivedi<br />PT-Ahmedabad student<br />CG road centre<br />Pinnacle2010</b>Paridhi Trivedihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11992943054937756973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8647794548092946175.post-674561831654904692009-10-01T00:02:53.737+05:302009-10-01T00:02:53.737+05:30Respected Sir,

If they say exactly in which year your ascestors passes through which region(like 200,400,500 years),then it is really a good technology.Aamir Yazdanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16085033598045045991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8647794548092946175.post-50224757418845638922009-10-01T00:01:42.914+05:302009-10-01T00:01:42.914+05:30COMPETITION CLOSES NOW!

Hope this Genographic Project will sort out the problem of racism and ethnicity.And in future all humans will show global patriotism.<br /> One more thing which comes in my mind while reading this blog is that, is this journey of humans heading towards its roots that is Africa? As in all other parts of Earth we are depleting the natural resources, the only hope lies in Africa which is still full of natural resources. <br /><br />With Regards,<br />Swapnil Subhedar<br />fall-08Swapnilnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8647794548092946175.post-68077351721436560412009-09-30T23:31:09.141+05:302009-09-30T23:31:09.141+05:30Respected Sir
Thanks for the valuable information...Respected Sir<br /><br />Thanks for the valuable information about the Genographic Project.<br />Homo Sapiens is a very young species. If Earth calendar started on January 1 and now we are in December 31, we got here just 15 minutes before the midnight and all the recorded History has blinked by in the last 60 seconds. Ever since we evolved in Africa, we randomely scattered all over planet, coalescing into groups, more powerful, larger and very much conditioned by two characteristics – opportunism and greed, we accelerated our disconnection and caused extensive damage to our climate and all other natural resources.<br />Sir, this is the first thought and a grave concern that comes to me when I think about A Human Story – Our Incredible Journey. The Project is an amazing discovery by the mind – the human mind which had been the key to survival in those evolutionary days, a mind that has evolved to reflect back to ourselves, to take stock of our own existence, a mind capable to discover quantum Physics, explore outer space…and peer into our own DNA. It is the same mind that threw us out of balance with Nature, a mind that thrives on the cultural assumption that we are separated and are superior of all life forms and have dominion over everything, a mind with thinking disorder that we are separated from Nature and Nature is just an abundant resource, a property, a mind that doesn’t see beyond its stunning intellectual and technical advances, the large scale impact on our home, the Planet Earth and our attitude which is gravitated to selfishness.<br />Ecological disasters are rarely covered. When they are, they are covered as isolated incidents. But if we connect these events, we will find a larger story that needs to be told. A Human Story. And more so than that, a global understanding that takes into account who we are, and the state of our relationship to this planet, our only home and the amazing web of life we have.<br />We are at the Eleventh Hour. It is time to ACT NOW. I believe this should be the action of top priority and better investment of time and energy. We need to pay our debts to Planet Earth. If the project helps in gaining learning which are useful for the present and future on these lines, it should be placed on a very high pedestal.<br />Thank you Sir for the time you gave to reading this comment!<br /><br />Regards<br /><br />Sincerely<br />Proton Nidhi AgarwalAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8647794548092946175.post-24117781376556497772009-09-30T23:22:51.925+05:302009-09-30T23:22:51.925+05:30Eagerly waiting for results with baited breath...:...Eagerly waiting for results with baited breath...:)Bhupendrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12462889099456190973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8647794548092946175.post-9924751557300927332009-09-30T23:15:54.965+05:302009-09-30T23:15:54.965+05:30Dear Sir,

This made me search about ancestors and I got some beautiful quotations related to ancestors.<br />I am putting them here-<br />*The ancestor of every action is a thought. <br />Ralph Waldo Emerson<br /><br />*If you look deeply into the palm of your hand, you will see your parents and all generations of your ancestors. All of them are alive in this moment. Each is present in your body. You are the continuation of each of these people.<br />Thich Nhat Hanh<br /><br />*I admire our ancestors, whoever they were. I think the first self-conscious person must have shaken in his boots. Because as he becomes self-conscious, he's no longer part of nature. He sees himself against nature. He looks at the vastness of the universe and it looks hostile. <br />John Shelby Spong <br /><br />*Every man is his own ancestor, and every man is his own heir. He devises his own future, and he inherits his own past. <br />Frederick Henry Hedge <br /> shashankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17501153405988179457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8647794548092946175.post-23593799029035831302009-09-30T22:24:14.627+05:302009-09-30T22:24:14.627+05:30Respected Sir,

This was an interface of my past with the future.

I could feel the goosebumps while going through your article.<br /><br />However, once I got over the astonishment, I found myself getting lesser & lesser inclined towards it.<br /><br />Here’s something I could not find any answers to -- <b>WHAT BENEFIT DOES IT SERVE !?!</b><br /><br />Scientists and Researchers must have invested huge amounts of both – Time & Money, which could have been deployed in some area capable to provide for the betterment of individuals around the world in a more substantial manner.<br />Many years ago, our world witnessed a selfless investment of time & knowledge, in for the betterment of the people by Dr. Norman Borlaug. This world needs more people of the likes of Dr. Borlaug.<br /><br />People in the poor & developing countries have other issues to take care of in the present, than to wonder as to who their ancestors were; say, for example a poor farmer in India, has got a family to feed and loans to re-pay.<br /><br />The sums of money involved in a project of this technicality might have proved beneficial had it been utilized by investing in some Project which concerns the poverty-stricken nations at large – It could have saved thousands of people every year from committing suicide for not having enough money to re-pay for the loans, or die a slow agonizing death because of some incurable disease.<br /><br />Sir, with no disrespect, I would deem The Genographic Project unfitting in the present world order, which presents much greater and significant challenges to be met.<br /><br />--<i>Have a Nice Day Ahead<br /> Pr.

I have been following your blog...Dear Sandeep Sir,<br /><br />I have been following your blog posts for sometime now and have learnt quiet a bit from your blog roll. Your blogs certainly are very informative and worth reading. Thanks for introducing me to the Genographic Project of Nat Geo. <br /><br />In the competition declaration paragraph (Highlighted in yellow), you mentioned the best comment on “this Blog” shall win and stopped short of mentioning specific reference to “this Blog post”. This means that comments not only on this specific “Blog Post” of yours (about the Genographic project) but on your Blog in general are eligible!<br /> <br />Also, I think the prior comments focused on your genographic blog post have already comprehensively dissected the issue in detail. So, I thought if I can add value to your blog by commenting maybe I have a better shot at winning the competition!! (I was anyways contemplating how to communicate to you regarding your blog layout)<br /><br />Therefore, I thought of using this opportunity to present my feedback on this blog in order to make it even more visually appealing:<br /><br />1. I noticed you use a lot of footnotes and references while blogging. It would be helpful for the reader if you can create a link to the footnotes at the point of referencing itself, which immediately displays the footnote when the reader hovers the mouse over the reference pointer. Similar to the way it happens in the Bing search engine results. This way, the reader won’t have to move down and up to read the footnotes and blog respectively. It would help maintain the continuity and make the blog better readable.<br /><br />2. There are lots of gray empty spaces especially on the right side of your blog roll, which increases the length of the blog post. This has two issues, one, it just wastes lots of horizontal space which can be better used for presenting blog content and two, it forces the reader to unnecessarily scroll through post that much longer. As the readers’ attention span is mostly in seconds, the reader has to put in extra efforts for no extra benefit.<br /><br />3. I think the blog navigation can be better streamlined. Although, there is an archive section, it is neither visible when I am accessing the post through perma link, nor does the archive allow me to perform a search. When I am reading an old blog post, I can only see the title of some of your even older blog posts but I can’t see the blog posts you did after that date. I am also unable to see the date on which you posted the blog. I suggest adding a Calendar wherein each post can be chronologically accessed, so that moving back and forth on the blog is seamless. <br /><br /><br />The content of your blog is of very high quality and needless to say makes for an excellent reading any which way. There are a number of wonderful things on your blog that are obviously of professional quality and therefore I don't need to repeat the obvious. I just wanted to share my thoughts so that the blog can be presented in a way that is easier and faster to read for countless other readers of this blog of yours.<br /><br />Thanks!<br /><br />Kapil JoshiKapilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14499417347611012011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8647794548092946175.post-31846844571756219132009-09-30T16:59:14.825+05:302009-09-30T16:59:14.825+05:30HURRAY.!!

All philosophers, especially Indian, would urge one to look at the cosmos and realize that we are in fact a part of the same universe hence connected to each individual in some sense or other. Hence to me, rather than the genealogy, which is no doubt fascinating, the more important question is why do human beings then want to fight each other. we are part of the same fraternity and each one of us resonates in the other in some way. if we are able to discover this fact there would only be love. easier said than done.rather than wondering why the human race behaves in a particular manner the question to ask is "am i capable of universal love" and " am i capable of loving each and every human being equally" . it sounds impossible but "evovled people" have done it. Knowing that all of us have the same background, should make the world a better place to live in!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02700962873333869464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8647794548092946175.post-75239645478338344182009-09-30T04:19:15.986+05:302009-09-30T04:19:15.986+05:30Hi Sir
Thanks for such a thought provoking blog.
...Hi Sir<br /><br />Thanks for such a thought provoking blog.<br />Though on different lines from what has been discussed above, the blog has provoked some thought in my mind.<br /><br /><br />"Do you know your first ancestors ?"<br />The first thought the stikes me after reading this question is why should one be bothered about it.<br /><br />On practical grounds, one would like to know his/her ancestry so as to find a link to some famous (or infamous) personality in history. If his/her ancestors aren't famous (talking about deep ancestry that is more than 600-700 years or milleniums), one might not care to know who they were.<br /><br />To support to this, if we recall, a tv series called "suno kahani" was being broadcast on DD National, episodes of which, were adaptations of short stories of many Indian writers.<br />One of them was "ved vyas ke pote"<br />in which the central character travels to haridwar for some cause unwillingly but there he gets to find the evidences of the visits of his ancestors to that place(the dharmshala) and he finds that he is a descendant of Maharishi Ved Vyas. <br /><br />He looked through various records on paper and even on tree leaves (which were maintained by the pandits there) because he had a hope that he might be related to some famous or known person from the history.<br /><br /><br />Even if we google the word descendant, then there would already be previous searches listing a lot of famous personalities.<br />"descendants of"<br />Rama, Ravana, Genghis Khan, Jesus, or Shivaji to list a few.<br /><br /><br /><br />What I want to convey by this is, knowing about some "Adam XXV"<br />or "Eve XVI" who were in some part of the world and moved to some other part of the world to make some ethnic group or further migrate to some other place and in the next few thousand or hundred thousand years <br />through various stages led to our existence doesn't really make sense, atleast not to me, and to several indivduals like me.<br /><br /><br /><br />What is more ponderable is what comes ahead, what lies in the gambit of mother nature for our human race which is taking toll on her and not stopping anywhere.........<br /><br />An Apocalypse -<br /><br />leading to our extinction <br />or <br />to the formation of a whole new race with some more modifications in our genes over what we already have<br />or<br />a start from the scratch.....<br /><br /><br />Regards'<br />Gaurav Kumawat<br />Fall '09<br />Kanter Hall<br />PROTON business school, IndoreJason Bournehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11171500175901324912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8647794548092946175.post-21413194926183641562009-09-30T02:01:56.518+05:302009-09-30T02:01:56.518+05:30Respected Sir,
Th...Respected Sir,<br /> <br /> Thank you for writing this blog post.<br />After reading this blog post,I thought,<br /> <br /> "Why should I participate in the Genographic project ?"<br /><br /> Ans: To give myself evidence about the fact <br /> which states ,"The central stem is the same for all!" <br /><br /> Firstly, I think that is why intelligent people advance in their life out of creativity not out of competition because they know that our root is same and we must not violate right of others. They achieve success which is lasting.<br /><br /> Secondly, They infer that if one man can do it then every man can do it.<br /><br /> lastly,I must say that you are trying to develop our innate capacities such as thought process because it is the central stem in all of the situations we face as a<br /> manager.<br /> Thank you once again, Sir!!!!<br /><br />Proton Prasad Nehete <br />Fall 09<br />Indore CampusPrasad Nehetehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11555380827955138583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8647794548092946175.post-48315335954488138752009-09-30T00:36:28.310+05:302009-09-30T00:36:28.310+05:30Dear Sir,
Thank You for sharing such an interesti...Dear Sir, <br />Thank You for sharing such an interesting post. I want to share one of conversations I had with my grandfather when I was in 9th standard. I used to asked them about their father, forefather and forefather and so on. At that time I really didn't know the concept of ancestors but now I realize all my thoughts had some connections with that. My grandfather answered me till 4-5 trees. Today I am really get excited to share this post with my grandfather why I am so anxious about ancestors at that time.<br /> And about this national geographic project I just want to tell you sir that they are spending crores of rupees to find out the real picture of ancestry with the help of our D.N.A. <br /> sincerely,<br /> Vishal Mehta<br /> Fall (09)Vishal Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14850426503276843141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8647794548092946175.post-44743546245932244052009-09-29T23:42:37.386+05:302009-09-29T23:42:37.386+05:30History ....Mystery ...

Lots of impacts.... Let us try and imagine some different scenarios : <br /><br /><br /><b>"Vansaavali"</b><br /><br />Long time ago a person came to our house, he gave us an offer(which we certainity can refuse :) ) to draw our family tree <br />and let us have associated with some so called royal clan.We refused though to have our time and money wasted in any such thing. <br /><br />If the guy would have access to human genome technology then scene would have been quite diferent. Fascinated by the <br />technology we would have hired the guy to chart our subtree<br /><br /><b>"Blue Blood..Iam ...am I ?"</b><br /><br />In country like india , where caste system is so pervasive. Being associated with a royal clans and family roots matters alot <br />specially at the time of marriage.. <br /><br />Imagine Genographic project powered Shaadi.com ,Jeevansathi.com ... etc :)<br /><br /><b> Harry Potter and Pure Blood Mania....(Don't worry there are no spoliers)</b><br /><br />I can aptly term whole Harry Potter Series as "Harry Potter and Pure Blood Mania" as story revolves around the <br />fight between pro-blood versus pro-talent{Wizarding skills} people<br /><br />I dare not to imagine how Genographic project would have empowered YOU-KNOW-WHO and SLYTHERINS and other pro-bloods <br /><br />JK Rowling ?? Do you have any answers..??<br /><br /><b>"Ghost of Christmas Past"</b><br /> Some people ran from there past .. reasons may be any. Hiding there race,parents, grandparents. <br /> Ghost of past may haunt them<br /> Imagine what a public genographic tree would do to there hiding/faking efforts.<br /> <br /> <br /><b> "Adam and Eve and what about Inbreeding" (Dear it is just a thought .. No offence...)</b><br /> <br /> If we do have only have a single parents Adam and Eve .. how much scientific they may be ...<br /> It raises chances of inbreeding. Is this responsible for some of our eccentricities and evil behaviour???<br /> <br /> <br /> <b> "Man from earth"</b><br /> <br /> <br /> From black,white,Hutu,tutsi,hindu muslim,sikhs,christan we are different numerous nationalities numerous races <br /> ethnicities,beliefs,ethos,morals,good,bads,GODS DEMONS.Yet despite of the diversity the tree reminds me that..<br /> we all have same roots same blood ...

I tried to leave comment many time but the habit of procrastination stopped me to be a part of your blog, but today i defeated the habit and i promise to leave comment. sir i love to watch national geographic and Discovery channel. I had seen 2-3 program. Being a human and have a curious mind we always try to find about our past and origin of life. We love to know about our ancestors and praise them because they tried to make better world for there children. Like they invented fire, wheel etc. But i am sure that our grand children will not wish to know about there ancestors because we are making such kind of world which will give only pain to them. so we should also concentrate to be a memorable part of our grand children. We should try harder to make this planet earth again better place for every one. Because upcoming human can live without air conditions which is a source of CFC but can't live without green earth..................ANSHUMAN PAKHARIAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04508855432893656182noreply@blogger.com
