More than Myth: Real Human Chimera Cases

This is a fascinating dive into the world of genetics, set against a backdrop of a curious dermatology finding, and ending with one of the most interesting and convoluted paternity cases you may ever hear about.  The Maury show has nothing on this one, trust us.

Mike suggested this episode be titled "This is Chimerica!" or "Have you Heard About the Lady Whose DNA was a Chimera? No, Sounds Greek to Me!"

I used my editorial powers to override him.
