This is a wonderful video everyone should watch, with this following thought in mind. DNA ancestry tests such as 23andMe or others can tell you a lot about how much DNA you share with people living in different parts of the world TODAY, but it's not super reliable for tracing long-term ancestry.

It's also a good reminder that all DNA-based racist ideas that celebrate particular ancestries are 100% bullshit.
