[QUOTE]Originally posted by alTakruri: [QB] I had no interest in watching the show when it came and have none in watching it now either. Why? Precisely because its geared to wow the uninitiated. Docudramas rarely if ever accurately inform about their topic. They just entertain their viewers and breed the type of foregoing correspondance where actual knowledge of population vs personal genetics (no matter how often or clearly presented) is doubted in favor of the tv shows misrepresentative narration. Due to the owner shutting off the search function I cannot locate a previous thread precisely relating to these tests that purport to tell one what ancestral percentages they are of * White (a color) * Black (a color) * Native American (a vast super-ethny) * Asian (continental origin) * It's a rip off plain and simple. And if Skippy spent half a day studying valid population genetics he and those other celebs would all know they bought snake oil. Considering DNA tests for yourself? The company you chose is important because of the methods they use and the genome base they check against. Here are links to http://www.kerchner.com/dnaprintlog2003.htm http://www.kerchner.com/mtdnalog2003.htm where [b]clients discuss their results[/b], notice in particular the comments of those expecting SA (sub-Saharan African) matches Avoid a company making extravagant claims about what they can do, or that doesn't come up front about the limitations of their tests, or who have a small comparative resource base, or has a high percentage of "2nd tests" due to "failures," or etc. [/QB][/QUOTE]
