| 0:00.0 | As you can see here, we found that you were about 43% Northern European, 37% Mediterranean, |
| 0:06.2 | and 18% Southwest Asian. In fact, your genetic profile most closely matches your standard |
| 0:12.0 | Caucasian British person. And you might be interested to know that you are actually 2.8% |
| 0:18.9 | Neanderthal, which is fairly high. |
| 0:21.4 | Neanderthal. What the hell is that about? |
