Sir Paul Nurse was in his 50s when he discovered that the person he thought was his sister was his mum and the couple he thought were his parents were really his grandparents. With all of them now passed away, there was no one he could ask as to the identity of his father. Years later, he took a DNA test and Professor Turi King traced his father for him.

His family clearly wanted to keep him, but had to protect reputations to make it possible. Fortunately they were able to pull that off without ‘spilling the beans’. It was a fairly common occurrence. The exact same situation happened a couple of generations back in my family, only the young man in question was devastated by the revelation. I can only hope, for his sake, that he eventually came to see it in the magnanimous light that Sir Paul does.
Absolutely fascinating, what a story.
All credit to the professor that he realises that it was all done for his protection first and foremost.
Thank heavens we live in more enlightened times, and well done Turi.
After doing some of my family genealogy and helping others get started, all I can say is there are no boring family histories.
That is one of the most amazing conversations I have heard in a very long time! Two enlightened and fascinating professors speaking with compassion, understanding, curiosity, and with a wonderful sense of humour to round it all off. Thank you Turi for such a spellbinding & captivating podcast. It shows that, with incredible time & dedicated research input, along with advances in techniques, incredible progress has been achieved within this field of DNA science :)
The "'Thank you Mum" got me! Uncovering 'secrets' takes so much work. Well done Turi. Im searching (2 years in) for our last name lost in the 1850s with my great great grandfather. We know he is Irish on his patrineal line through Big Y-700 but its so hard with low 30 cM and less matches.
There was a lot more sex going on in "the good old days" than people realize. Many married couples were pregnant before their wedding, and there must have been many cases like this as well. Further, the orphanages were full. He was lucky his grand parents were in a position to raise him as their own.
Not surprised at all. Nothing shocked my grandmother when she heard of many things as it all happened in her days.
Love this story and well done researching and well done Sir for adjusting to this news so well.
Women, old and young need support as mothers. There is no shame in bringing life into the world.
Amen!

Hello
Really interesting. So glad we don't have the stigma now of unmarried mothers. I am old enough to remember those times. I wonder where he inherited his above average intelligence from.
Im not sure of turi heritage but if it isnt Irish then ill be surprised
This is such an interesting story and shows how gullible our generation was. You can never tell these ones born yesterday 😂 they know who their mothers are.
The sad thing is Turi and Paul that you were the last generation where this sort of situation would have been kept secret - because now if a girl has an unwanted pregnancy she just aborts it 🥲. How many Nobel Prize winners has humanity lost 😓.
