Hey @gcochran99 I just noticed something interesting about this blog post of yours discussing false paternity rates.
Present day fp rates ~1%
Historical surname / gene mismatch also close to those numbers
BUT 1% per generation gives you ~82% not ~99%https://westhunt.wordpress.com/2013/01/27/by-blows-paternal-age-and-all-that/ …

IOW, over 10 generations ~90% of surnames will match genes which implies 10 generations of ~1% false paternity (or adoption)
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Yes. Contemporary means discrepancy between dad and kids today, in a single generation. The historical examples give the projected average rate per generation over some time period. You made a mistake: many more people have been enthusiastically stupid about this.

I'm going to give myself credit here - I noticed a possible inconsistency in the data, did the math and asked for clarification about the words I was interpreting.
