In the words of geneticist, and associate producer of the show, Dr Himla Soodyall: \u201cWe can change our language, culture or place of abode in the space of a generation, but our genes will always remain an indelible record of our ancestral past.\u201d<\/p>\n
While South Africa is a country renowned for rightly celebrating its diversity, there is also a lot that we have in common \u201cThanks to this documentary,\u201d says Yolisa Pahle, CEO for General Entertainment at MultiChoice, \u201cunderstanding the things that we have in common should unite us without taking away from the power of our diversity. \u00a0So Where Do I come from\u00a0is the \u00a0story of the fundamental building blocks of life \u2013 our DNA.\u201d<\/p>\n
