VIDEO: Surprisingly Interconnected
This is a great short video by 23andMe... portraying how interconnected human populations, and thus individuals, are. It is however a commercial for 23andMe's testing service... so note, I generally try to steer people to FamilyTreeDNA's service (FTDNA) instead because it is actually 'genealogy-driven' while 23andMe's focus has actually been more 'health and disease-driven'. Furthermore, FTDNA's genealogy database is actually much MUCH larger... increasing your success rate in making unknown family connections. I've actually been tested by both companies and have noticed other testees are generally unresponsive on 23andMe... while FTDNA's testees are much more apt to respond to share requests since that is their primary reason for testing in the first place. FTDNA also seems more willing to openly discuss the "Jewish ancestry" question... which reminds me... they also have the largest testee database with known Jewish ancestry. - Hanok
