"Less likely to be able to match a musical pitch"

Peter Rukavina

Many years ago I sent a sample of my DNA to 23andMe for testing and, as a result, every now and then I get emails alerting me that some new genetic trait, or some long-lost 7th cousin, has been identified as a result.

Here are the traits that were highlighted in today’s email:

So I’m a tone-deaf bleached-blond who can escape to high places to avoid the mosquitoes that will bite me at a typical rate.

In earlier communications I learned that I’m less likely to develop a bald spot, less likely to have dimples, and likely prefer salty to sweet.
