That’s not how genetics works. Half your DNA comes from your father and half from your mother. If you have a sibling, your mother and/or father may have provided a different half of their genes to them. That’s a very simplistic way to put it but it’s basically how it works

Triplets who were not identical would absolutely have different DNA strings that they would’ve gotten from the 2 parents.

So,you are saying? " To follow a DNA path,you would have to know Absolutely, which set of DNA that each parent provided,from an almost infinite array of possibilities.

frick me! That was one of the gifts I bought my wife for Christmas.

I don’t know what would be required to know for certain where your earliest ancestors originated from. I just know the basics of how DNA is transferred from parents to offspring. If the same DNA was transferred to each offspring of a couple, all of their kids would be identical and the same sex.

I know the companies suggest having all of your closest relatives take the test as well so you get a more accurate picture of your heritage.

That's common in academia too (as in the only way things are done). Any claim has to be cited. I think it predates social media to be honest
Academia is completely different than discussion. All we are doing on here is roughly the same thing that used to happen between two people or groups of people 30 years ago in person
What? You think we all walked around with reams of paper in our pockets ready to pull them out every four sentences
No. Unlike the lazy fricks of today if someone supplied information in a conversation that we didn't have confidence in or hell even if we had confidence in it we checked. Our selves.
He'll 90% of the shite I know whether it be in politics or in general life is a result of me checking shite someone has told me about.
If you don't know how to do that yourself then it's really somewhat futile for anyone else to do it for you.
Trying to treat normal everyday discussions weather in person or on a message board as if they are the equivalent of dueling academic papers is fricking retarded
I mean heck. If I make an insertion and then you ask for a link what the frick do you think I'm going to give you? I'm going to give you a link that agrees with me. You shouldn't just accept that shite.

Usually population data, as in the DNA tests from people of that region. You can separate it into mtDNA, Y-chromosome, autosomal DNA, among others.

And it would be handed down from their parents,and theirs.
If 100% siblings,can have different ancestry,then the whole thing is worthless, that is my point.

Well yes but I can't pass on DNA that shows African American Heritage for one child Filipino Heritage for the other child and Swedish Heritage for the Third with no crossover

I'd argue that the the origin of the impulse is probably from academica, which is exacerbated by social media. Message boards are a little easier to have that sort of academic discussion because of the ease of availability of the information. The availability of that information through phones has extended that impulse to the culture at large, so much so that discussions are often interrupted by the search for citations for claims, at least in my experience.

Based off the DNA video I watched when I did mine, yes, you can. I’ll see if I can find it.

You'll get down voted but quadroons and octaroons got in to families.
No one would pass the one drop test.

If it is verifiable that they have the same father,but different ancestry,using the same test,then it would have to be labeled junk science.
I thought even even brothers and sisters from the same parents didn't have the exact same DNA ancestry.

quote:the problem is what you are describing here is really just fake knowledge. Half the people looking for citations merely grab up the first thing that seems to agree with what they said and throw it back at you. They don't take the time to have understood it in the first place and don't really have the knowledge to back up the idea. The same goes for most internet rebuttals.

We're not talking like to academics here each of whom heavily researched a subject and then discussing it. My experience is that the internet is full of people who use Google to pretend they are smart and well-informed when all they are really doing is citing talking points and then grabbing websites when asked
In addition asking for a link every time something comes up in discussion completely discounts acquired knowledge
I mean I'm 50 years old and I can guarantee you that I have no fricking idea where I originally Source things I where I originally sourced things I learned 20 years ago
Moreover I also don't tend to bookmark everything I read. Which means there's a pretty damn good chance if you ask me to cite something I read two years ago I'm not going to be able to find it. That doesn't suddenly make it invalid
It's a discussion. We aren't doing research papers

People typically have 23 pairs of chromosomes, with one chromosome in each pair coming from the father and one coming from the mother. Each chromosome contains hundreds to thousands of genes.
Because people usually have 46 chromosomes and only 23 are passed on to a child, half of a parent’s chromosomes are not passed on to his or her child. If chromosomes were passed on as-is (without being altered in any way), inheritance would typically look something like the chart below, with genes from some ancestors being completely lost within a couple of generations.

If you think of your parents’ DNA as jellybeans in jars, you get 50% of the jellybeans in your dad’s jar and 50% of the jellybeans in your mom’s jar to make your jellybean jar.
Because we scoop whole jellybeans without cutting them in half, it’s possible that your father has red, blue, green, yellow, purple, gray, turquoise, and orange jellybeans, but that your scoops don’t have any red jellybeans from your dad’s side. This doesn’t mean that you didn’t descend from a red jellybean dad; it means only that you didn’t inherit any of your dad’s red jellybeans.

That is correct,but supposedly,there is enough similarity,that you can identify 100% siblings,and separate those from 1/2 siblings.
Think about this though. If you have the same mother and father,you have exactly the same ancestry.
