问题     Genealogy(家谱学)doesn’t often make news headlines, but in recent months it has been a hot topic in newspapers worldwide. The reason? Genetics and genealogy have merged into an amazing new【S1】______field which allows us to prove family connections beyond all doubt. Nature Magazine recently reported that DNA testing was used to【S2】______the probability that Thomas Jefferson【S3】______the last child of Sally Hemmings.

Traditional genealogy research and DNA have even come together to identify the【S5】______of missing American servicemen. Now new research studies claim that we can use DNA not only to prove a【S6】______to an individual, but to actually determine our ancestry.
    Dr. Scott Woodward and his research group at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, are among the【S7】______in this new research field. The Molecular Genealogy Research Group, under his direction, is using the genetic information【S8】______in DNA to reconstruct worldwide family trees. This study is based on the fact that each individual carries within them a【S9】______record of who they are and how they are related to all other people on earth, both living and【S10】______"We are a walking, living, breathing record of our ancestors," says Woodward. "Genealogy is really a genetic question."
