The review surveys the development and the current state of genetic genealogy, a branch of science dealing with the history of individuals, families, and kins using molecular genetic methods. The main milestones in the development of genetic genealogy are established: the appearance of essential prerequisites (development of DNA genotyping and forensic techniques of evaluating biological kinship); the first publications on the topic in the late 1990s; the establishment of commercial companies, periodicals, and noncommercial organizations dealing with this subject. The theory and practical applications of dating individuals back to the most recent common ancestors on the basis of Y-chromosomal amd mitochondrial DNA data are briefly considered.
这篇综述考察了遗传谱系学的发展及现状，遗传谱系学是一门利用分子遗传学方法研究个人、家族和亲属历史的科学分支。确立了遗传谱系学发展中的主要里程碑：基本前提条件的出现（DNA基因分型和评估生物学亲属关系的法医技术的发展）；20世纪90年代末关于该主题的首批出版物；处理该主题的商业公司、期刊和非商业组织的成立。简要考虑了基于Y染色体和线粒体DNA数据将个体追溯到最近共同祖先的理论及实际应用。
