You can't actually prove you don't have chimerism unless you get biopsies taken from organs all over your body

And since we don't do that, we have no way of knowing what the true prevalence of human chimerism is

Chimerism only reveals itself in a minority of cases; those cases (different eye colors, mosaic skin) suggest it's more common than we think

Ever seen someone with heterochromia -- one blue and one brown eye? Could well be their left eye is XX while the rest of their body is XY
