A few times a week, YouTube star Jack Douglass asks his 2.7 million YouTube channel subscribers a question.
He then shares their most interesting answers the following day, in an episode of Yesterday I Asked You (YIAY).
His fascinating question in YIAY #310: In percentages, what makes you, you?
He got some pretty amusing answers, including:
26% body fat. 74% also body fat.
10% Fashionable. 10% Flawless. 10% Athletic. 70% Liar.
33% Compulsive. 33% Compulsive. 33% Compulsive. 1% Perfectionist.
Jack’s YouTube viewers did not disappoint. And in return, he revealed his percentages – his heritage percentages, based on his AncestryDNA test.
Jack was hoping to see his Irish heritage, since for his family,
“St. Patrick’s Day is a really, really big event for us every year.”
He flies back to Maryland, and they go out all day. He looks forward to it every year.
AND he’s even taken a family trip to Ireland. So he was really, really hoping to see his blood ran Irish.
His ethnicity estimate revealed he was in fact 52% Irish.
But his test also revealed a surprise: His ethnicity estimate for the region Italy/Greece was 11%.
Jack’s conclusion:
“So looking at these results and confirming that yes I am mostly Irish really makes me feel good…Then there are surprises like I’m 11% Italian/Greek. I didn’t know that. I never would have known that if I hadn’t taken this DNA kit. So that’s why I like Ancestry. It confirmed what I knew but also kind of gave me a little surprise.”
