Okay. A few months ago, I had $100 burning a hole in my pocket more like a-moldering in the bank. I spent it on DNA testing. The results are here. I decided I wanted a second opinion. Yes, like when a doctor tells you you're sick and you ask for a second opinion and then she tells you you're stupid too. That type of second opinion. I found another $100 doing nothing for me, so I put it to work. This time with 23andMe. After several weeks, I have results. I like these results better, like when the "Quack" says there's nothing wrong with you even when limbs are falling off. These results actually make more sense based on what I've learned about my heritage in the past. First, I have no Middle Eastern or Indian (India) blood (DNA). (That doesn't mean if you piss me off that I won't go all Jihad on your ass.) Second, 4% seems a lot of Indian for a very white guy. Lastly, these new results, I believe, state a more accurate, realistic me.
I'm 99.9% European, mostly Italian. See the results below.
The less than 1% is Eastern African. Okay, I suppose that could be true. That part dates back 250-400 years ago. Or so the website states. Here's a map of where my DNA has been.
Moral of the story: Always fact check and get a second opinion or a third, if one becomes available.
If interested in more DNA stuff, check it.
