The Excavated Hypothesis
Every lost scientific text, every forgotten family record, every buried piece of wisdom - we uncover it, restore it, and return it to the world.
What We Do
We restore the knowledge that time buried by rescuing lost scientific texts, forgotten genealogical records, and unfunded research. Then we make it available at no or low cost, so no legacy stays hidden forever.
The Founder
Dr. Nicole Mendoza holds an Ed.D. Organizational Change & Leadersship from USC. Frustrated by misleading and non-transparent results from commercial DNA testing, she immersed herself in the population genetics literature, learned the analytical methods, and built her own computational calculator from scratch. After reviewing more than 100 primary documents on the Transatlantic Slave Trade, Dr. Mendoza published a probabilistic model that proved modern ancestry estimates are incorrect given historical population constraints. Convinced that vital knowledge should not stay buried, she founded The Excavated Hypothesis to uncover, restore, and preserve it for everyone.
