DNA Mapping of the Slave Routes to the Americas

Project twin: DNA Mapping of the Slave Routes to Southern Africa. Text that follows is just taken from that one - Please edit and replace as you develop the project:

This project is in one of those niche areas of human research that you know someone is going to do a very significant inter-disciplinary PhD on - sometime in the near future. But, until then - it exists as a huge aporia that we need to fill in order to be able to work with the data we're garnering on Geni, in a way that renders it slightly more meaningful for the World tree...

It isn't obvious to me exactly what the best way is create a project backbone around which people (both DNA specialists and ordinary users) can keep coming back to to add data and profiles that are linked into the tree - as they arise. So, I'm thinking.... and would value other people's thoughts and suggestions,and, if you're the silent kind, edited in input. (We'll tidy it up if you don't have time.)
