I thought of something awhile ago - but have never seen it mentioned.
Basically - if you ever become interested in studying your family tree. You are best only paying attention to the female side of the family.
So - you have your mum, then her mum, then her mum, then her mum and so on...
Since - as soon as a woman cuckolds her husband - it throws off the male line of descent forever. So - when you go back a few generations - there is a fair chance than paternity fraud will fool you into thinking you are related to somebody that you are not.
Just a small pointer. I don't really pay attention to family trees much since when you go back about 6 generations - you have as many genes in common with a complete stranger as you do with that distant relative.
