Nov. 10th, 2007 07:51 pmThe DNA Ancestry Project really took off with the advent of the household genetic reader. The program, an ingenious update on earlier family ancestry businesses, which had replaced databases full of immigration microfiche and ship manifests for quickly searchable genetic lists compiled via the Human Genome project. Thousands of samples from all over the world were coded.
Like all great technologically driven social revolutions, it didn’t really have an impact until bored college students got involved. Traitbook, the genome social network debuted in 2014, a combination of file sharing programs, Spark-driven games, instant messaging through wi-fi, sex quizzes and memes, and most importantly, a genome upload that would help match you with genetic ancestors spread across the world.
Cousinator was the first dating site willing to ensure matching with only partners that were at least statistically individual in the 90% percentile from ones own code, maximizing potential sexual partners in their difference from your own code, for the incest paranoia. Not surprisingly, iCousin Nation showed up less than two days later, with a rocky history that would lead to the Supreme Court.
Darker concepts, like Pure Strain, showed a frightening popularity for people looking to ensure pure ‘racial’ matches. The number of murder-suicides in Alabama tripled in one year, leading them to be defined as “The Octroon Killings.”
It wasn’t until police finally linked two dozen deaths of seemingly unconnected people in the last year as genetic descendents of William Tecumseh Sherman that the very first Ancestral Killer entered into the lexicon of modern policing.
