Identity ID

As an adoptee, my friend Max Sparber didn’t know a lot about his genetic background. Thanks to his adoptive parents, Max has a Jewish name and a Jewish cultural identity. But courtesy of a $99 genetic test he was able to order online, he’s learned he’s Irish. (And, I should add, 2.9 percent Neanderthal.)
