    Due to two ancestors at unequal levels of generations back, I’ve got some odd ratio like 3/128 Native American. In practice this means that I don’t grow much of a beard and I tan before I burn, and not much else.

      The way genes swap around isn’t really consistent with the whole ‘fractions’ thing, so that’s not too surprising I suppose

            Yeah, my sister lives in Bavaria and has been complaining about summers in the high 30s for a while now.

            I live in Spain and have to hide for the summer :-/
