Professor Turi King is a scientist, presenter, speaker and author who is passionate about communicating science to the public.
Turi uses genetics in the fields of forensics, history and archaeology. She is perhaps best known her work “cracking one of the biggest forensic DNA cases in history” (Globe and Mail, February 2013) leading the genetic analysis that identified the remains of King Richard III.
Turi started her career in archaeology, reading for a degree in Archaeology & Anthropology at Cambridge. She then went to study at the Genetics Department at the University of Leicester, to read for an MSc in Molecular Genetics. She then studied for a PhD in Molecular Genetics on the relationship between the Y chromosome & British surnames, combining forensic DNA techniques with history and genealogy. Professor Sir Alec Jeffreys, who invented DNA fingerprinting, was one of her PhD advisors.

Simply Wow!
We're just binging Series 2 on SBS On Demand (Australia). This is from Episode 4. If you're in Australia, it's available for another 3 weeks as of 3rd July '24.
George Yeardley was one of the first governors of Virginia to enlist plantation slavery. I discovered that my Darroch ancestry was also responsible for slavery in Jamaica during the 1700s. Nothing to get proud of! 😢
Pathetic video from a presenter that is a real turn off.
Lots of padding and bullshit from this Turi King, thats irrelevant.
Thats right, over a million children in the UK don't know who their father is
I want more of the story please

The thing about not getting matches is that it will not be the experience of your matches, because they will find you already there when they come later.
Here we are after all the narrative nowdays that origin doesnt matter- only love matters, especially talking about same sex and surogacy aspect of it. Much more complicated issue as people think.
DNA fake garbage.

Shame runs deep in religious societies, having children adopted, given up, for whatever reason, not wanting to take accountability, nor wanting to 'dig' or let out 'family secrets'. The shame is probably the largest in especially Catholic societies but in all 'religious' societies. The Church have a lot to answer for, or those who created 'religion', for whatever purpose. So many have suffered unnecessarily and children who never got to know their parents. It is a crime to be honest. Denying these men their true heritage is criminal whichever way we look at it. It is probably a slight shock for the brother and his family but how can you not want to embrace your own blood? Then again, many of us have family who know about us but equally don't care, so one should not be to surprised. Just a shame we cannot as a society come together better than we do. x

Hey! Just wanted to say I enjoy your videos ... and on the note of finding someone from the Caribbean ... many of the Caribbean islands have a history that includes most, if not all of the countries that you mentioned for this guy, so, I hope you were very careful about fact checking everything ... without knowing the story or having watched the entire episode, I can say, his father may not have been from Jamaica, but, he may have lived there, or, whoever told him that his father was from Jamaica might've had the general region correct. I live in the Caribbean, and, a lot of people move back and forth between the islands quite regularly, and, I've also been to the UK and other countries and when I tell them which country (island) I'm from, they would ask which part of Jamaica or Barbados is that? I've also met and heard of a lot of individuals who've moved, or, whose families moved here from many other countries in the world (Sri Lanka, Algeria, China, and others) more recently, so, I personally wouldn't rule out anything.
❤😊
Ew.
That's a beautiful story - the ethnicity of the biological father, and the love and devotion of her real father, Bill. R E S P E C T .
I was surprised when he said Black - I saw him as an Indonesian-European mix (several models in Bali are mixed and quite successful, and their eyes are similar to his - the mouth and chin not so much), so Seychelles, and Asian Creole makes a whole lotta sense.
I don't like how this show presents its stories. First, she drags it out in a weird way and then draws a dinky family tree on paper. Nothing professional and official to present to the participants. Then she doesn't finish some of them like this one.
did she get to meet her nieces?
The introduction 1 in 12 children in the 1970s were raised by a single parent - its probably 1 in 4 in todays society!
Amazing concept
Turi you are always so caring in how you deliver news. Bless you
I sure hope he said he was sorry to her and admitted that he was horrible to leave his unborn child and a single mother in such a vulnerable situation.
Kids in their 30s aren’t into dna stuff since they think they already know everything
A family member of mine did sperm donating years and years ago too and I think at least 6 children have been discovered via DNA 🤪
What a lovely man
If that John was born in 1946 and died in 1988, he was only 42. He did not die in his 50s like she said. 🤷🏼
There was a study that suggested virtually 100% of living Europeans and people of European descent are direct descendants of King Edward 3rd of England. By 1750 it was very difficult to find even minor nobles which were not easily traceable back to John of Gaunt through marriages from his lines into noble houses not just in England, but France, Spain, and many other nations and regions.
Europe would go through population booms and crashes. Royal/noble houses usually expanded fairly consistently so as commoner populations crashed, they were often replaced and replenished with overflow from royal and noble houses.
I’m fair skinned but my maternal great grandmother had olive skin and was born in Hungary. Genetics can skip a gender or two.
