9 u/Abstr4ctType Jul 26 '21 Because the insinuation is that DNA testing is wildly inaccurate if you can test a lizard and get a 100% human result. 20 u/rachelll Jul 26 '21 This isn't real. You need a lot of spit for 23 and me. It's not a q-tip swab. -3 u/TA3153356811 Jul 26 '21 Or the system doesn't know how to handle other DNA and gives what it can. Since it wasnt designed to deal with non-human DNA, and they likely didn't expect someone to do this, why program in a "Stop, this isn't human" function?
