II · Facial structure
Eighty-six points. One map of you.
Gold landmarks settle along the contours of your face: the arch of the brows, the set of the eyes, the bridge of the nose, the line of the jaw.
III · Proportions
The geometry only your face has.
Distances and angles between those points become a signature — the proportions our AI model reads.
IV · Matching
Weighed against 41 heritage regions.
Your signature is compared with populations from the British Isles to the Andes, from the Levant to the Korean peninsula.
V · The map
Your face, placed on the map.
Every region your heritage points to lights up. The strongest connection glows brightest.
VI · Revealed
Seconds later: your heritage.
A full breakdown with percentages, an interactive ancestry map and the story behind every region — ready to explore, share and return to.
