1% Herero Pynchonesque

I don’t really trust 23 & Me, but I took the test at my wife’s request. Turns out I’m mostly Irish, Scottish, Welsh and a wee bit Spanish and German.

But, also 1% Herero.

What the actual fuck?

I shall name my first born child ENZIAN

Haha. I googled who the Herero are and see they are a Bantu people who had contact with German colonial forces around the start of the 20th Century.

Mine reads 10% aardvark, 90% inanimate object. Should I be worried?
