    Default DNA testing services giving results which appear to be false

    (visibly Amerindian woman is ~99% European)


    (visibly white man is ~14% African)


    (visibly black woman is 3% African)



    So, anyone care to guess what's going on here? It seems like there are a number of possibilities. Some of these explanations might seem more likely than others.

    *The DNA tests are giving inaccurate results because they are flawed or scientifically unsound (ie. missing or misattributing key genetic factors)
    *The genetic factors which differ between races do not correlate strongly with physical appearance
    *In some situations, the DNA testing companies make mistakes (ie. mixing up the samples or mail packages)
    *DNA test results do not align with perceived race due race being a social construct and not a biological one
    *Some people within DNA testing companies, or some people who influence those companies, are deliberately sending out inaccurate results in an attempt to undermine the apparent ability of DNA tests to identify race
    *The people in these videos are lying about the results they received, perhaps for attention

    No wonder 23andme asks you to fill in your ethnicity and information before the spit sample is processed.

    Yes, in 1 / 100,000 cases it might happen.

    But in 99,999 other cases the results are at least quite accurate.

    Cobb's real dna results
    Cobb said in March 2015 that a second DNA test found him Caucasian except for what he called a “3% Iberian thing.

    My YDNA result could be either an error or someone else's but it could be mine. I have upgraded to Family finder as that will confirm if it's mine or not
