DNA Nation

Ian Thorpe, Ernie Dingo, and Julia Zemiro set out on an extraordinary experimental journey to trace their ancestry back more than 200,000 years.

Ian, Ernie and Julia are joined by archaeologist Jeff Rose in the Arabian Desert to discover how some of their ancestors lived in the once lush and green area.

Ian, Ernie and Julia go their separate ways to discover their closer ancestors; Ian heads to Kyrgyzstan; Julia takes part in an archaeological dig in Sardina; Ernie visits Timor-Leste and learns about the people who first journeyed to Australia.
