Summary

A £140 test reported 51.3% East Asian/Native American ancestry, including 40% Chinese and 5% Southeast Asian. European results included 21.6% British/Irish and 25.6% broadly Northwestern European; 3.1% Neanderthal ancestry surprised him. Health results were mostly reassuring, but he noted increased baldness odds and simvastatin- related myopathy risk.

Insight

Initial fascination faded within 24 hours because the report mostly quantified what he already knew.
