Genetic testing is an important way to learn more about how humans are different and what shapes our identity.
Genetic Diversity: Humans are very similar. In fact, we share about 99.9% of our DNA. But even tiny differences can create unique traits in each person.
Ethnic Groups: Research shows that our genetic makeup can link to where our ancestors came from. Scientists often look at around 100,000 small changes in our DNA, called SNPs, to help track family history.
Identity: Genetic testing can reveal surprising family connections. About 26% of people who test their DNA discover unexpected ancestors, which can change how they see themselves and their culture.
Ethics: There are serious concerns about how genetic information might be used unfairly. This raises important questions about ethics and discrimination in society.
