The universe is one.

I find this thought very reassuring.

Many of my ancestors came to the US very early on, so we are fascinated at the discoveries about our past, where we really came from, things we never imagined could be true, as our DNA uncovers it all.

If you know where you came from, for example, England or Sweden, DNA studies probably don't seem so important. But if your heritage is obscure or forgotten, it is very interesting.
