Who's the daddy?

This is from Canadian TV

Now according to the respected medical journal 'The Lancet' anything from 1% of the population to 30% (in Liverpool dirty scousers!) were fathered by someone other than their "father". I only just found this link, I'll do a search of the Lancet in a minute, but it ties in with what I was thinking after watching the recent Channel 4 documentary 100% English, where we saw Garry Bushell find out he was actually part African and Carol Thatcher find out she was 25% Middle eastern, the funniest moments were the Woman who said you had to be able to trace your family tree back to Hastings to be classed as English threatening to sue the programme makers for revealing she was half Romany, and the mad old Diana Mosley wannabe (who was ranting on about gollywhitewogs, whatever they are) and turned out to be a mixture of East Asian and Red Indian!

I think the documentary makers being obvious metropolitan liberals were a bit disappointed to get sensible reactions from Bushell and a young squaddie (25% Balkan if I remember right) who took it in their stride, the squaddie in particular making the point that seeing your true origins might make the more racist amongst us think again.

An honourable mention must go to the patriotic woman from Grimsby who was the most English of all (99% or something) who said that Ian Wright was a true Englishman, unlike some Anglo-Saxons.

Anyway back to my point, all these people were convinced that their families were English going back generations on all sides, DNA tests proved them wrong, which just goes to make you wonder what their Grandmothers were getting up to... It also makes me think about all this family tree searching people seem to be doing recently, fair play but maybe combining it with a DNA test would help to give a fuller picture.
