DNA History Test
Your ancestral lineage, up to 35,000 years ago
With our historical ancestry test, you can learn about your ancestor’s origins in an older period of history than the one detailed in our geographical ancestry study, going back to beyond 10,000 BC. Human populations have evolved through a complex and continuous intermingling throughout history, of which there are remote ancestral signals that we use to obtain geographic information from time immemorial.
If we were to include them in a single study, together with a more recent period, they would be diluted since the number of such ancient samples to compare with is logically smaller than that of current ones. But by using them in an exclusive study, such as our historical ancestry study, these data take on the relevance they deserve and allow us to go far back in time, in detail, over centuries and millennia.

8 major historical stages in our DNA history test
The study of our family DNA history test analyzes your ancestral records and details your origins in 8 major historical stages:
- Upper Paleolithic (before 10,000 B.C.)
- Mesolithic (from 10,000 to 5,000 B.C.)
- Neolithic (from 5,000 to 3,000 B.C.)
- Metal Age (from 3,000 to 1,300 B.C.)
- Ancient Age (from 1,300 to 500 B.C.)
- Classical Antiquity (from 500 B.C. to 500 A.D.)
- High Middle Ages (from 500 to 1,000 A.D.)
- Middle Ages (from 1,000 to 1,300 A.D.)
These 8 historical stages are defined based on the time of the beginning of the development of different socio-economic and cultural activities, which vary according to the multiple geographical zones of the Earth.
The classification we have made in the report of our DNA history test tries to be the approximation that best reflects the breadth of the world’s geography. Depending on the specific geographic area, these stages could have begun and/or ended before or after the defined time intervals.

We compare your DNA with that of archaeological remains
To carry out the DNA history test study, your genetic information is compared with a large and diverse reference database, which includes samples from a huge range of historical periods and geographical origins, to cover the whole of human history and its genetic diversity.
These samples are carefully sourced from the best-preserved archaeological sites, to ensure the highest quality of genetic material for our analysis. Imagine tracing your lineage back to the very origins of human civilization, our DNA history test makes it possible. With Ancestrum, you can gain a deeper understanding of your heritage and discover your DNA family history.
Our reference database has thousands of records
Our reference database includes thousands of samples, which have been carefully analyzed, passing a strict quality control, which ensures that they have the right conditions to be used in our DNA history test.
Thanks to technologies such as radiocarbon dating (carbon-14 method), we know to which period of history the archaeological remains that are subsequently sequenced belong.
With these genetic samples, of great historical value, we compare your DNA to get your personalized report. In addition, our historical ancestry algorithm, developed from start to finish by Ancestrum genetics specialists, uses a statistical basis that has been validated and optimized for each sample. This allows us to say that our DNA history tests are unique in the market.
We went where you didn’t think it was possible
Ancestrum allows you to explicitly trace your ancestors across centuries and continents and to understand in more detail what your genetic origins are, and also to get an idea about the migrations of the civilizations to which your ancestors belonged.
If in our regional and ethnic ancestry studies we analyze DNA from current samples, so that we obtain a summary of the ancestry signals that have reached us today, with genetic historical ancestry we seek to dissect this current image in order to understand in time to which civilizations you have a greater genetic resemblance and complete your ancestral lineage in a temporal spectrum difficult to believe until now.
