Reply to comment by sdjacaranda in you are the sum of 2 parents 4 grandparents.. 8 great grandparents... and so on... so your DNA is composed from millions of people by anirudhsky

Would you be entirely different, or probably just very slightly different?

I believe you don’t necessarily get DNA from every one of your ancestors, so if you’d had a different ancestor you could still be genetically identical, but I’m no expert

If one person was different then their child would be 50% different which would then cause their child to inherit different DNA and so on
