Without meaning to sound like a knob, but why do people do these? Is there a point beyond morbid curiosity (aka a waste of time)?

It's just kind of interesting, right? Or, it would be if they were a bit more informative. I'd like to know the route my lineage took out of Africa. I suspect the majority will just be up through Europe (aside from my Grandads, that was SNATCHED from Africa by the white man). But I could be a secret Jew/Tibetan Monk, and that would be kind of cool (relation to Magic aside).

I'd be interested in that. But paying £75 for it to say, "errr 75% British m8"? Nah.
