DNA Test Results and what they look like....

[SwordandCompass]

All dna testing was done by www.ancestrybydna.com/ (in 2003

Robin Quivers:84 percent African 16 percent European


Howard Stern:Howard is 85 percent European and 15 percent East Asian


Fred Norris (real surname is "Nukis"): 95 percent European 5 percent American Indian.The guy on the left with long hair.


Gary dell abate:96 percent European 4 percent East Asian


Artie Lange(the guy on the right):75 percent European 25 percent American Indian.


Kc Armstrong:100 percent European


I will get more picture of the rest of the crew later.

DNA Tests Show That ***** Is 25 Percent Indian! 8/21/03. 8:00am
After the break Howard got to the DNA test results that he was talking about before. He said the swab didn't work on everyone. They came up inconclusive on 3 people including Scott DePace, Stuttering John and Benjy. Will said that they had to pass a few tests and they didn't come through so they didn't have anything to report on. Howard said Will showed him the one funny thing that was worth mentioning. Robin seemed to think that Gary might be part black like they've all thought for years. KC thought that maybe Fred was related to Mussolini or something. Fred said he thinks it has something to do with Artie. Artie said that he thinks they're going to tell him that his grandfather was gay or something. Howard kept everyone in suspense and said that they found two men's DNA in KC's mouth. He was just kidding though. Then he broke the news that it was Artie who had the one funny thing. When Artie heard that he turned bright red. Howard then said that Artie is the guy who you'd think is the really defined guy, being full Italian and all, but he's actually 25 percent American Indian. Howard said he might be entitled to some money from the Indian casinos somehow. Howard said he's got enough American Indian in him to be called Indian. Artie said it can't be on his mother's side but on his father's side there are a lot of gray areas about his family. Howard said Artie could be Crazy Horse III. Who knows. Gary said that would mean that one of his grand parents had to have been full American Indian. Artie said it was pretty exciting news to him. The test is definitive so they're going to look into finding out if he's entitled to some money from those Indian casinos.
Dominic Barbara called in and said that he may really be entitled to a lot of money. There are people who didn't even know they were Indian who are getting $700,000 a year from those casinos. A woman called in and said that Artie has to do some research to find out exactly what Indian line he's related to before he can get some money. Guys started calling in and goofing on him as soon as they heard the news. One guy asked if Artie's Indian name is ''Can't WinABet.'' This also means that Artie's sister is also 25 percent Indian.
Will went on to tell the guys the results of their tests. They found that Robin was only 84 percent African. Fred was 95 percent European and 5 percent American Indian. Gary is 4 percent East Asian and KC is 100 percent European. Gary didn't get the East Asian thing though. He has no idea where that came from.

Howard said they got some DNA results back that the guys on the show took. The last time they did this they found out that Artie was 25 percent Native American. This time they found out that Artie's sister is only 10 percent Native American. Gary said that Benjy has 21 percent Native American in him. Scott DePace also has 14 percent. They're more European than anything else but they both have some Native American in them.

Gary said that Will in the back office is 100 percent European or whatever he is. Howard is 85 percent European and 15 percent East Asian. He said that the East Asian thing can be the Russian he has in him. They got off of that subject and moved on to other stuff.

Howard took a call from a guy who said that his East Asian DNA might explain his tiny penis.

LOL!!!

How does this work.Artie is 25% Native American but how come his sister is 10%?anyone know how that works?

It's a lousy test, that's how it works. It's 'unexact science'.

I thought it had something to do because she is female.anyway thanks mel!

This test must be inaccurate. How is it possible to be 1/4 native american and not know about it at all.

Its not.Arties father is old italian American and in his family only his father side he wasnt always sure about.I think its grandmother who was Native American or somthing like that.His mother was like striaght from Italy.....

[August 21, 2003] The results of a DNA test taken on the Howard Stern Show show that Lange is 1/4 American Indian. He is Neapolitan Italian on his mother's side, but his father's full heritage has always been a "grey area". He had only previously known of his German ancestry on that side of his family.

Perfectly possible because it doesn't have to come from one person.

This test, I believe, is autosomal DNA test.

Hallam is right, Mel. AncestryByDNA results are based not only on the Y-DNA and the mt-DNA that give us the main paternal/maternal haplogroups but also on all the remaining DNA, that which is called autosomal.

We know that all siblings carry the same markers on the Y-DNA as well as the mt-DNA, because these pass unchanged from father to sons and from mother to daughters/sons respectively.

But the remaining DNA, which is by far the largest percentage of genetic material, really gets shuffled up in each conception, which means that not all siblings get the same percentages of each ancestor's genetic markers.

What I would question here is the method they used to identify that such and such genetic markers come from Africa, Asia, etc. I don't know if there is a general consensus among specialists about this.

So it is not that this is an "unexact science" but rather an unexact interpretation.

[NuSapiens]

The version of this test available in 2003 was much less accurate than the currently available test. It artificially excluded Subsaharan African admixture in Europeans, and gave a lot of false Native American and East Asian admixture in Europeans because these groups are hard to differentiate. The new test has more markers, and is more accurate (but not perfect).
