So Easy, Even a Caveman Can Do It

So, a while back my daughter and I got our genetic testing results back. Yes, we bought into the pitch that 23 and Me is all about real science, real data and genetic insights. Besides confirming that Jen is ACTUALLY my daughter, I was surprised that my genetic make up puts me squarely in the Irish, English, Scottish and Eastern European arenas. The real surprise came when I received an email from my daughter who was reviewing my results and she, gleefully, wrote, ‘Dad, you have 42% of Neanderthal DNA’……She was quick to point out that her Neanderthal DNA was only 9%. She attributed this to her being further down the evolutionary chain than I am.(Jen did have better SAT scores than me).

So, my friends, think twice about doing this. You may just be surprised at what you’ll find out…
