XKCD comic, described below.
Transcript

[Cueball and Megan are shown, with Megan using a pointer stick to point at a diagram on a poster. The diagram features a top-down tree structure.]

Megan: Our admixture analysis showed that these genotypes arose in the ancestral population almost entirely through sexual intercourse.

Megan: Upon realizing this, we of course promptly deleted all our data.

Off-screen voice: What? Why??

Megan: We're not weirdos!

Megan: Jeez, give these people some privacy!
