Oh, this was fun!!!! At my son's request, I took a 23andme test recently, and the various traits that my genetics show are often hysterical, usually spot on, occasionally waaaay off the mark. A couple of my favorites: Fear of Heights -- More likely than average to be afraid of heights (✔), Misophonia -- Average odds of hating chewing sounds (so hate!), Cheek Dimples -- Likely no dimples (✔), Eye Color -- Likely blue or green eyes (✔ blue), and Wake-Up Time -- Likely to wake up around 6:58 am (spot on, every f-ing day). As for ancestry, 64% British/Irish (specifically from greater London and County Kerry!), 34% French/German, and a smattering of Greek. LOL! Another wonderful video!

I've done my DNA with Ancestry too. I'm Australian, so I was excited to see where my ancestors came from (there were stories that we had a First Nations ancestors). I found out that I'm 53% English, 24% Swedish/Danish, 9% Irish, 4% Welsh, 4% Scottish, 3% Baltic & 1% Bengali and 1% North Indian. So no Indigenous DNA, but subcontinental DNA is pretty wild!

I did an ancestry test and was a bit disappointed with my results. I’m 78% English which was no surprise, as my Father’s Great Grandfather was Cornish and my Mother’s father was from the East End of London. But the thing that interested me was DNA from Prussia and Norway (yay! Vikings!). I’ve found many 3rd or 4th cousins, but no 1st or 2nd cousins, which is what I hoped for, as we lost contact with my father’s family over time. New matches are turning up all the time which is fun, but I don’t follow a lot of them up. It annoys me that you have to have a paid Ancestry account to see some of the information in detail. I’d recommend people who are interested to do it, especially if you are into genealogy and want to know your family history.❤

Hi Anthony , You're results for endurance sports is correct.You should explore endurance sport as a health benefit.You will be astonished by your endurance potential due to your Vo2max profile.The genetic marker for great endurance athletes is a high Vo2max. I suggest you try road cycling,you won't regret it. Plus it will make great video content.! Cheers!

Just wow!!! I gotta buy me one of those kits. I just feel I need to know.............

Respect from Florida new Sub getting mine soon.

0:55 I have no desire to do a DNA test, but I’m actually coming at it from a different angle: I’m adopted & have known it my whole life! (Even if my parents hadn’t told me it would’ve been quite obvious. 1 Canadian + 1 Irish ≠ a Chinese child 😂) Instead, I’ve thought about what I would’ve been or could’ve been had I not been adopted. Most likely I would’ve had a really tough life, so I’m very thankful for all that I have today thanks to my very pasty mom & my slightly less pasty dad who decided to fly around the world to adopt me! 🤣 edit: Sometimes I wonder if I was from a royal family who had a secret affair, but then I remember that China’s been under the CCP for far longer than I’ve been alive & my dreams of being a secret princess are crushed 😂

Hi Ant, The earlobe bit is something you can see in women's earring ads. The ad people don't want the lobe to overshadow the earring so they prefer ones that are attached and not the "free" or dangle style. Take a close look at some women's ads and you'll see what I mean. I know because I knew as a teenager I'd never be able to model since I have "dangling" or free earlobes. The ad people want the emphasis on the earring and not the earlobe. Things have been changing, slowly. There's probably a bit (a lot) of the classist and racist element to it as well. 🤨 But as for the DNA kit, I gave my son 1 to do probably 4 or 5 years ago and he said he just felt uncomfortable having his DNA out there. So at 63, I figure how much damage can be done to someone who's on the short end of life? HA!So I'm going to do it! And you gave me the push! Been a hugh fan and subscriber for about 2 years now.

I was told things by one of my uncles about what my biological mother looked like and where she came from. The family I was raised in were a very prominent family in the city. I had 4 sets of grandparents and my dad's mom and dad left me nothing after they died because I was not blood related. Growing up my dad's mom always compared my 1st cousin and me....of course my cousin always came out on top no matter what it was. My family dynamic was odd: half of it were judges, police officers for the city, my dad was the state police chief and we had legislators and mayor's. The other half of my family was Dixie Mafia, drug runners and bookies/secret gambling joint owners and gamblers.....there's so much more.
