Before you go out proudly singing “I Just Had Sex,” perhaps you should stop to consider that the person you just shacked up with may have in fact been your cousin.
A new statistic done by AncestryDNA suggests that one in every 300 strangers in Britain are cousins. So, hey Britain, you’re screwed. And not in the good way either.
So if you do the math, and take the average number of sexual partners people have in their life, which is about ten, carry the one and so on, there is a one in 30 chance that some English folks have shared more than tea with their cousin.
This is because how interwoven the family history in Britain truly is. So I hope you learned your lesson, Britain.
“It’s incredible to think that many of us will be in daily contact with unknown relatives – with no idea that we share much more than the same sporting team or commute to work,” the commercial director or AncestryDNA, Brad Argent states.
Well, Britain, you may want to backtrack on your partners.
