23 23andMe Memes for People Who Should Have Left Their Ancestry Alone

We humans have an unexplainable urge to uncover the mysteries of our past. So it made total sense that companies stepped right in to shake things up—literally and figuratively.

A few years ago, the world was obsessed with ancestry DNA services. Everyone was eager to spit into a tube, send it off, and await the revelation of their mysterious genetic roots. The hype was palpable; it was the ultimate treasure hunt, minus the treasure and plus a lot of unexpected family drama.

The excitement was short-lived. As people began to receive their results, they quickly realized that some truths are better left unspoken. Like finding out your sibling isn't actually your sibling or that your lineage includes a dubious character or two. It's the genetic version of opening Pandora's box, but with more saliva and fewer mythical creatures.
