This is a normal post They can't.
They are wilfully misrepresenting their results to get people to buy their test.

What these tests look for are snips of DNA which appear in different populations today. So you might have a piece of code embedded in your genome which commonly appears in the British population today, but this doesn't mean that your ancestors were necessarily British... largely because 'being British' doesn't mean anything genetically. What it means is that a population of people you're more closely related to ended up in Britain.

Ultimately we all originated in the same place (almost certainly Africa) and this tribalism we call Nationalism is just an excuse to feel different from, or hate another group of people.
