minus-squareDudewitbow@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up7·1 year agoreletively yes but you still shouldn’t. a 1st cousin has like 16% shared dna. half removed is half that. 2nd cousin is half of the half removed and it repeats. so 1st > 1st half removed > 2nd > 2nd half removed> … nth. after a few steps in your percentage is already pretty fucking low.

minus-squaresome_kind_of_guy@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up9·1 year agoI assume the 16% is of the portion of DNA which varies among humans, not the shared portion which makes one human in the first place.

Yeah, about 5% of the time…
