What is Anthrogenealogy?

Before genetics laboratory findings became commercially available to us as individual genealogists, the academic world was already applying them to its anthropological studies, although it ignored any application to genealogical studies, which were left to researchers without academic sponsorship.
Anthrogenealogy combines the methods of the two sciences--anthropology, as pursued principally in academic settings, and genealogy, largely with individual or corporate sponsorship or carried out by avocational researchers.
By utilizing Molecular Biology to observe the genetic data trail of a lineage you are now able to connect unknown family members by employment and comparison of specific locations on the Non-Recombining Y or mtDNA we inherited from our fathers and mothers.
Anthrogenealogy is, therefore, our word of choice for the study of deep genealogical origins through means of genetics.
