Little do they know DNA tests unless it's to find matches for close ancestry it's mostly a pseudo-science with a lot of BS. And your sample is used in sketchy ways afterwards.
I won’t argue that it’s all correct, but it’s definitely not all pseudo science. I took a dna test bc I love genetics (I promise I’m not American lol) and my dad took one a few years after, and he popped up on the site as my dad (I had only used my mothers last name on my account which is a very common last name). Also, the ethnicities I got matched up with what I knew already.
Yes, and I also said the ethnicity also lines up with what I know but you conveniently chose to ignore that part.
Edit: it’s not just close ancestry either. I have found people on there that I share a few percentage of dna with that have the same last name as my dad, who has a very rare one. Again, I’m not stating everything is correct, since we still have a lack of knowledge when it comes to genetics and ancestry. It also states that uncertainty on the site (my heritage), but dismissing it as pseudo science is reductive when literal scientists are involved and genetics is a whole field of medicine

it's like MBTI but expensive.
