The image captures the spirit of genetic genealogy in its truest form. We so often depict genealogy by a tree and define our ancestors as our roots. By imaging the trunk of the tree as the DNA double helix, the artist shows that our ancestors roots feed into our trunk through the DNA they pass onto us. And that we then pass portions of this mix onto our offspring in the branches above. Her original image has three turns of the spiral. As this would not fit into a logo-style image and still be discernible, we have compacted the trunk to a single turn.
