When you think about the example, there must be several million similar ones
in the USA alone. With 30 percent or so of black Americans having a
European ydna we have lots of descendants of slave owners with cousins who
descended from slaves. I think the lines in the show --- "could you have
imagined in your wildest imagination such a cousin", with answer "no" ---
were scripted for dramatic hype (like the hype they accuse the testing
companies of).
