These days, these ethnic origins reports tend to be       accurate to within, say, 5% at a continent level. I really wouldn't       expect one twin to show a non-trivial amount of Oriental ancestry where       the other twin's shows none and instead finds a non-trivial amount of       Native American ancestry, at least not if the test was done in the last       few years. But I could easily imagine one showing substantial French       ancestry where the other says German, ore trace amounts of all sorts of       bizarre things.              Richard              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
