I posted this yesterday:

Here’s a fun fact yet to be brought up: These “results” will change over time even on a specific DNA ID site. ancestry.com specifically makes a big deal about how a specific person’s results from some number of months ago get “updated” and presumably more accurate because of more samples and customers since then.

I am looking at a particular set of “results” there at the moment. I see that five sources of DNA, one of those sources a full seven percent, are “no longer in estimate,” which was made roughly seven months ago.

So any talk of ancestry of 1/64 (1.5%) being statistically significant, far above any margin of error, unimpeachable, proof positive of ancestry, etc., is simply mumbo jumbo.

Well, a few years ago I got one done and found out I was 2% Jewish. Ok but they updated it a few months ago and my Jewish heritage has been replaced with 1% sub-Saharan African

So I want my reparations.
