The video is a humorous exploration of genetics, with the host taking a DNA test from 23andme. He describes various traits he has, such as a lack of alcohol flush reaction, blonde hair, and a tendency towards sprinter performance. He also discusses the genetic factors that contribute to addiction, including a study showing that genetic factors are responsible for 86% of the variability in the number of cigarettes smoked. He mentions that he is unlikely to smoke, has a typical appearance, and is slightly more Neanderthal than the average person. He concludes by showing his ancestry composition, which is 99.9% European, with a small percentage of East Asian and Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry.
