| | Event: | SSS-04 Ancestry Testing Services: Pros and Cons | | Dates: | 4/5 | | Time: | 10:00 to 12:00 | | Category: | Spring2021-SingleSession | | Location: | Zoom Teleconference | | Presenter: | Michael Park, Professor Emeritus, Anthropology, CCSU | An analysis of the popular DNA ancestry services, such as '23andMe': How do we evaluate the reports? What are the limitations of the services? How can the reports be misinterpreted? To accurately and fairly address these questions we will look at 1. how genetics work, 2. some important aspects of human evolution, and 3. what do we really mean by ancestry. Then we will answer those questions through a detailed look at the ancestry services and how you can interpret your results.
