Aunt Vovi

You were patient zero. Yeah. Vovey and I actually talked about this at the time. By handing over her genome, she was automatically giving this company part of my DNA. After all, we share 25% of the same genome. And for me, it just wasn't clear what the consequences of all this might be. But Vovey's gonna Vovey, and she spent about $100, spit into a test tube, and sent it off to the company.

And even though she is the most cautious person I know when it comes to putting personal info online, she more or less breezed through 23andMe's terms and conditions.

Yeah, I just probably said agreed without really reading the fine print.

And when Aunt Vovey's test results arrived, she says they were pretty exciting. They said we had some Mongolian DNA and a little bit from Yakutsk all the way up in Siberia.

A mysterious British interloper in the genome? This was the kind of hot ancestral goss Vovey had been hoping for. But then, not too long after, Vovey got an update from 23andMe. That's because the database was growing. As the company got more customers and more genetic data points, they were apparently updating their genetic results from time to time.

And the new update had come to a much less complicated conclusion about Vovey's origins.
