How Accurate are At-Home DNA Testing Kits?

This week we explore, "How accurate are at-home DNA testing kits?" You've heard it a million times. You co-worker is 17% Norwegian. Your 7th cousin is 5% Moroccan. But what does that really mean? Is it all some hokey-pokey? Every week on Stranger Still, we take the questions you've never questioned to ask and try to answer them. We want to make you laugh and teach you something interesting at the same time. So join us every Wednesday for another fun filled learn! If you've got a strange question you want answered ask us on Facebook, tweet us @StrangerStill, or drop us an email at [email protected].
