Proof of parentage

This article is about documenting human descent. For horses see proof of parentage (horse)

In the case of a pedigree , evidence is provided on the basis of genetics that a child is descended from a certain man as the father .

In 1926, an anthropological report in Vienna provided the first scientific evidence of the descent of a child from a certain man. The Vienna Supreme Court ruled on April 23, 1931 that the lack of a genetic examination in a paternity case was a procedural violation.

In the 1990s, the anthropological similarity reports were replaced by the molecular genetic ancestry reports (DNA analysis) .
