Dig into the
science of how ancestry DNA tests work, their accuracy, and why tracing
ancestry is so complicated.
Two sisters
take the same DNA test. The results show that one sister is 10% French, the
other 0%. Both sisters share the same two parents, and therefore the same set
of ancestors. So how can one be 10% more French than the other? Tests like
these rely on our DNA to answer questions about our ancestry, but DNA actually
can’t tell us everything. Prosanta Chakrabarty explores the accuracy of DNA
tests.
