This week we’ve talked about interesting ancestry. Unique origins that involve DNA’s role in unearthing some interesting information as well as new questions including a previously unknown species of ancient human, a DNA test kit that gave some very unexpected ancestral origins, and the tale of a badass warrior and putting naysayers in their place.

Our bonus story is about a woman who - on taking a DNA test with her children - discovered she wasn't the mother... of the children she had given birth to... To find out more and to support the show while getting access to the bonus stories for only $1 a month, visit patreon.com/rockettefox.
