Go Google "false positive." Then imagine being in a database and having a suspect sample erroneously match you in, say, a murder investigation.

Or imagine being struck by lightning in broad daylight on a Tuesday between 10:00-11:00 am. It COULD happen but unlikely.

So apparently it's so common for people to be told this ******** myth about the mythical native american ancestors that they decided to make a video about it.

So, if you take a DNA test and find out you've got no native American blood -- the test probably isn't rigged.

You're probably just not a native American, or have such a ridiculously small amount that it doesn't show up.

I started with Ancestry but then sent my results to FTDNA for additional analysis - this is how they report the results:
Code:
97% European
- 61% British Isles
- 32% Western and Central Europe
-  2% Southern Europe
-  2% Eastern Europe
1% Middle Eastern
-  1% Eastern Middle East
1% New World
-  1% Native American
1% East Asian
-  1% Northeast Asia
It's especially interesting to me as an adoptee.

How did your ancestry results compare?

Mostly similar. I think Ancestry may be a bit overly enthusiastic in attempting to pinpoint specific locations, but nothing that would make me suspect either evaluation is inaccurate.

Code:
Africa < 1%
 Trace Regions < 1%
  Mali < 1%

America 1%
 Trace Regions 1%
  Native American 1%

Europe 97%
 Great Britain 30%
 Ireland 26%
 Italy/Greece 15%
 Scandinavia 11%
 Europe West 9%
 Trace Regions 6%
  Iberian Peninsula 5%
  European Jewish < 1%

Pacific Islander < 1%
 Trace Regions < 1%
  Melanesia < 1%
