Connections: Dr. Rick Kittles, co-founder of African Ancestry

We’re joined by Dr. Rick Kittles. He’s the co-founder of African-Ancestry, the largest African lineage DNA database in the world. His work has been used to track the ancestry of people featured on PBS’ “Finding Your Roots.”

Dr. Kittles is in Rochester as a guest of the Jordan Health Foundation, but first, he joins us on Connections to discuss his work.
