&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;[https://web.archive.org/web/20020209061301/http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/dbnation/chapter/ch06.html Chapter 6] of my book &amp;quot;Database Nation: The death of privacy in the 21st Century&amp;quot;, discusses privacy issues surrounding adoption and genetics. One of the key things that I learned when writing the book is that a large percentage of people in modern society are mistaken about the identity of their father.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How many? We&amp;#039;re not sure. Here are some more recent articles that look at the question:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [https://theconversation.com/what-are-the-chances-that-your-dad-isnt-your-father-24802 The Conversation: &lt;br /&gt;
What are the chances that your dad isn’t your father?], reports that estimates range from 9% to 30%.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2007/07/who-s-your-daddy/305969/ The Atlantic] reports in 2007 that genetics students in graduate school are taught that the numbers are 5% to 15%, but substantially lower in some populations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/gnxp/2010/06/the-paternity-myth-the-rarity-of-cuckoldry/#.W3hIMi2ZPHc Discover] reports in 2010 that these numbers are vastly inflated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [https://www.bees.unsw.edu.au/what-are-chances-your-dad-isnt-your-dad UNSW Sydney] reported in 2014 that estimates range from 10% to 30%.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [https://www.menshealth.com/trending-news/a19543127/fathers-and-kids-parenting-fraud/ Mean&amp;#039;s Health] in 2007 has a long article on the topic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misattributed_paternity Wikipedia&amp;#039;s article is quite bland.] You should improve it.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
