Delve into how genetic testing reveals insights into our traits and predispositions beyond ancestry. This lecture will explore how specific genetic markers can indicate tendencies like athletic ability, caffeine metabolism and risk-taking behaviour. We’ll discuss the science behind these traits, emphasising how DNA influences them and the implications for understanding ourselves and our ancestors.
Attendees will learn how to interpret trait reports from DNA tests and how to integrate this information into broader genealogical research, adding depth to family stories. By examining the connection between genetics and personal characteristics, we aim to enhance genealogical narratives with a richer understanding of inherited traits.
