   Off topic for this thread and denoted why in the subject.   
   We have all been conned. Using scientific explanations to support the con.   
      
   Just read this as it was part of an article.   
      
   "Cosimo Posth, an archaeogenetics expert at the University of Tübingen, in   
   Germany, and colleagues described the genomes of ten different individuals   
   who lived in three key regions: Siberia’s Altai Mountains, the Kamchatka   
   Peninsula and other parts of the Russian Far East. Environmental   
   conditions—cold climates at high latitudes—allowed for optimal   
   preservation of DNA that was hundreds to thousands of years old. “In these   
   environments you can find individuals with 70 to 80 percent of human DNA in   
   their bones, comparable to what you’d get if you extracted saliva from you   
   or me,” says Posth. “You can actually generate a genome of the same   
   quality as a modern genome. It’s amazing stuff.”"   
      
   If this be true then the tests are missing 20-30% of the info From saliva   
   tests. So all may not be as it seems. It is only a test of a likelihood a   
   best guess type of thing. Compound that with the spit tests of a husband and   
   wife and that can compound the error significantly and a good statistician   
   will confirm that. Yeah, science is end all be all. Who are ya gonna believe?
