All this genetic testing stuff has been around for a while, it's just a fad right now

In college my professor said that these tests, human and dog, don't actually tell you what percentage race/breed you are, they tell you the chance you have of being that race

So if your test says "you're 2% native american!" it's actually "you have a 98% chance of being a regular white guy and a 2% chance of native american"

I don't know if that's true, but that's what my genetics professor said

I'm currently studying health and biology so of course this is known, but I was pointing out the commercialization factor and how average customers with money to burn can have access to kits now compared to like 15-20 years ago when there were long registration waitlists as well as high costs.

Also, it's $50 more than the human testing kits. Thought that was funny too.
