Wells said information about the migrations will become more detailed as more people participate in the project, contributing their own genetic history. Kits may be ordered at: nationalgeographic.com.
According to Bennett Greenspan of Family Tree DNA, which is analyzing data for the project, the Y chromosome had a genetic profile, or haplotype, called R1a, which is believed to have originated in Northern India and Pakistan some 30,000 years ago.

This is pretty interesting,
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pole,_Hungarian,_two_good_friends
Polish Haplogroup is R1a
Haplogroup R1a is believed
to have originated in the Eurasian Steppes north of the Black and
Caspian Seas. This lineage is believed to have originated in a
population of the Kurgan culture, known for the domestication of the
horse (approximately 3000 B.C.E.). These people were also believed to
be the first speakers of the Indo-European language group. This lineage
is currently found in central and western Asia, India, and in Slavic
populations of Eastern Europe
This is pretty interesting,
Polish, Hungarian, two good friends is the short form of the popular bilingual proverbial rhyme about the historical friendship of the Polish and the Hungarian people.

Different regional populations from Poland were studied in order to assess the genetic heterogeneity within Poland, investigate the genetic relationships with other European populations and provide a population-specific reference database for anthropological and forensic studies. Nine Y-chromosomal microsatellites were analysed in a total of 919 unrelated males from six regions of Poland and in 1,273 male individuals from nine other European populations. AMOVA revealed that all of the molecular variation in the Polish dataset is due to variation within populations, and no variation was detected among populations of different regions of Poland. However, in the non-Polish European dataset 9.3% (P<0.0001) of the total variation was due to differences among populations. Consequently, differences in RST-values between all possible pairs of Polish populations were not statistically significant, whereas significant differences were observed in nearly all comparisons of Polish and non-Polish European populations. Phylogenetic analyses demonstrated tight clustering of Polish populations separated from non-Polish groups. Population clustering based on Y-STR haplotypes generally correlates well with the geography and history of the region. Thus, our data are consistent with the assumption of homogeneity of present-day paternal lineages within Poland and their distinctiveness from other parts of Europe, at least in respect to their Y-STR haplotypes.
