The Roots of Humanity

Hosted by DNA Analyst Anita Mbabazi, a Ugandan forensic geneticist and researcher, Roots of Humanity explores how science, history, and culture intertwine to tell the story of who we are. From DNA labs to village firesides, we uncover the genetic and historical threads that connect Africa — and humanity — across borders and generations.

Through intimate conversations with historians, geneticists, storytellers, and everyday people, this series reclaims Africa’s place in the global genetics conversation and celebrates the maps written within us all.
