"Meta-analysis of a wide variety of genetic studies appears to show that the rates of non-paternity in the general population are on the order of 4% to over 30%, depending on the social group involved. [citation needed]"

Non paternity?? What does that mean? No father, like Jesus?? This needs an explanation.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 128.232.247.173 (talkcontribs) .

Since paternity is the state of being a father, I would guess that non-paternity is the state of not being a father, so the statistic would refer to people who are not fathers. At least that's how it seems to me. --24.117.122.78 13:22, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
