Non-paternity event
Non-paternity event
A Non-paternity event (pronounced: non-puh-tern-uh-tee ih-vent) is a term used in genetics and genealogy to describe a break in the male line of paternal descent. This occurs when a child's presumed father is not their biological father. Non-paternity events can occur due to various reasons such as adoption, infidelity, artificial insemination, or mistaken paternity.
Etymology
The term "Non-paternity event" is derived from the English words "non" meaning not, "paternity" referring to fatherhood, and "event" indicating an occurrence. It is used to denote instances where the presumed paternity does not match the biological paternity.
