Traced

What happened to the ancient Egyptians? The Persians? The Romans? The Mayans? ARE WE THEIR DESCENDANTS?

• Today’s Native Americans descend from Central Asians who arrived in the early A.D. era.
• Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob still have clearly identifiable descendants, albeit rare ones.
• Every people group on earth can genetically trace their origins to Noah and his three sons.
