In this presentation, Dr. Schmitt Lavin will provide an overview of work done by herself and students while teaching the NSU Farquhar College Honors course HONR 1000N Genetics and Genealogy since 2007. Students in the course investigate the relationships among the studies of genetics, human evolution, and genealogy. Students bring together their ancestral DNA results and genealogy research to create their family tree and family history narrative which they present in class and may archive on the class NSUWorks site: https://nsuworks.nova.edu/genealogy-reports/
