A few clarifications:

1. An “Intermediate Skintone” is not considered “brown”, but slightly tanned, and is the most common skin-tone in Europe. I’m sure many of you have seen photos of me in other videos, and nobody would consider me brown—yet phenotype algorithms predict that I am Olive Skinned, which is even darker than “Intermediate”.

2. A lot of samples will actually have red hair but be misread as blonde, as evident through comparisons across various phenotype prediction services.

3. The samples shown in this video are all from Harvard’s Dataset: https://adnaxp.github.io
