Probably explains why I am an absolute machine on the field of battle. Wonder if it’s the same name If you were a machine you’d be a trike......with one wheel missing ! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Do you get figures on how many samples they have profiled, they're only as good as their sample size surely? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

According to their site they have 15 million people on their database (I expect that is customers rather than ethnic standards) and they sample your genome in over 700'000 locations. I don't know how accurate that makes it though. Mine seems very believable based on what I know of my families traced history and the history of the region we're from. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That's if it actually does show up. I'm not being fully serious about this but we joke about it, the dark skin and nose is the give away. Luckily I don't take after that side. These tests do have their limitations. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Specific villages. My results came back. And it told me what time my ancestors went to bed. And what time they shit every day. And it even said that 1 of my ancestors cut his finger chopping wood. It's very accurate.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
