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.)

- Earliest church in the tropics unearthed in former heart of Atlantic slave trade This article was published at University of Cambridge Research News on 06 Nov 2015. The remains of the church on Cabo Verde's Santiago Island, off the West African coast, dates back to the late 15th century, when Portugal first colonized the islands that played a central role in the global African slave trade.
