If you read up on how DNA works then you will see that you can pull different amounts of parts of your parents DNA. So you don't necessarily get a straight 50% from each parents DNA you can pull more of one component in each of your parents DNA and less of another component. It's really interesting fascinating stuff in how it all works.
I remember when I was at a beach in Busan Korea. You can see Japanese islands from the shore. It's not surprising that people were moving back and forth throughout millennia and we were all boinking each other. There is lots of Korean blood in Japan and vice versa and I am yet to meet a 100% 'Korean" or 100% "Japanese" person from DNA results
23andme admits they have a difficult time reliably identifying German DNA .... because Germans are so mixed, depending on what region they are in they are related to their neighbors, and Germanic tribes were part of the founding stock of England. Therefore, just because it gave you a much lower (3.4%) German percentage than you were expecting doesn't necessarily mean you aren't more significantly German. Some of it may have also gotten into their generic Broadly Northwestern European category of which a lot is reported for you (11.9%). You can also use the free ethnicity admixture tools at the GEDmatch website to get second opinions of how much of your ancestry derives from different European regions such as Central Europe, North Sea, Atlantic coast, Korea, Japan. Another good site is DNA Land.
Very correct.. I have a "British" Last name and was always told I was British. I did a DNA test and submitted it to the GEDmatch also and it stated that the only "true British" were the Welsh and I have German, French, Italian blended in- which I found out is not uncommon.
u could still have German, especially if ur family was from North Western Germany then their genes will be very similar to British people. you have to understand that Western European people like Germans French and British are highly related peoples and they mixed over the centuries. you could be from Germany and have all of your family from their for the past five hundred years and still score high on British DNA. this is the same for countries like Korea and Japan they are neighbors ans have been so for thousands of years it's not a surprise u have some Japanese. so it doesn't make much sense to say ur Korean and Japanese when ur most likely 50 percent korean as far as nationality goes but u contain genes from Japan (probably like the rest of Koreans)
It's because of common ancestors, and migration.That's why Native American and East Asian are shown together, You may be all East Asian for instance but you have DNA common to Native Americans. Tracking down German ancestry will most likely require a more in-depth research, remember Europe as a continent has changed quite a bit, countries that existed, like Prussia for instance don't exist today.
Did you watch the video? The result showed East Asian / Native American. Whether they were separated or not, if the common gene is continually passed down it will still match.That is why traces of neanderthal can still be found in DNA samples today.
You probably are actually part German, most of British DNA is also German. The test you took may somehow conflate the two DNA results. A good example of this is the British royal family are actually Germans. 😉
Thank you so much for sharing! I can of course tell you're Asian just by looking at you, it's always interesting to know the other pieces too. I never met my father so I'm dying to know what I've got from him. My mom had reddish brown hair, fair skin and freckles (none of which I have) pretty sure she was Irish. I have a family tree showing East Germany, and dating back to England in the early 1500's on her side. My mom used to tell me I could tan well like my father, oh man I'm just dying to know what he was. I think I will be going through the same company you did as well.
Very cool! Just a note - people inherit differing amounts of DNA from their parents, so you could have just gotten a bigger chunk of Irish/British and a tiny amount if German. Nationality is a completely different thing from DNA. My Ancestry test said I was 47 % Western European, and that's where my German and French is hiding.
Most likely, the Broadly NW European is in fact German. It's hard to differentiate German from Austrian, Swiss, Belgian, etc. IIRC, German DNA has a very low recall rate on the 23and me site. Ancestry DNA simply categorizes it as Europe West. Interesting mix nonetheless. Thanks for sharing.
I'm 99.6% East African but people sometimes assume I have Middle Eastern or European admixture because of my facial features and hair texture. Some have no clue that Africa is quite diverse and there no one African look. North Africans are for example 80% arabized natives to the region and not descendants of Arabs.
Ohh, you look like average people from Kazakhstan. I thought you are one of my relatives, because you have extremely similar features as my uncles(even my dad). Maybe, you have turkic blood that is superior in Eurasia continent (they are in whole Central Asia, in North(Russia have lots of Turkic ethnicities, East as Korea, Middle East, etc)
+Fariza1993 yea I've gotten that before too... Kazakhstan! I actually know a few people from there too. I wonder what your DNA results reveal? Have u taken any of these test?
I haven't done it yet, thought that I don't need a test. Because, by tradition, it is mandatory to know your direct ancesries name at least for 7 generations starting with dad. Therefore, we were taught about 'from which tribe or juz you are, who were they in early decades , etc' in early ages. We have family tree books from both parents side which are updated after some changes such as birth of new member. I used to know names of my ancesty for 11 generations starting with Kuli by memory. I am from Kazakh(it has 3 main juzes): Senior Juz>Dulat>Shymyr>Bekbolat>Kuli>...>Kylyshbek(grandpa)>Baizhan(dad)>me. There is a concept of pure blood therefore youngs from one line (as for me it is" Kuli ru") cannot marry to each other. We consider them as cousins or brother/sisters. Each of the 3 main Juzes(Senior, Middle, and Junior juzes) has its own history that differs.
Kazakh nation occured only in XV century by the formation of different turkic and mongol tribes that wanted liberty and live like a nomads refucing the political laws. As kazakh mostly means "one wo has broken away from the existing political order" or "wandering steppemen" or "unordered". I think turkic people were one of the main momentum of historical changes (from east Asia to Europe and even Africa). There are a lot of turkic people that ruled in China, Egypt(from kipchak tribe as Sultan Beibarys... , in Russian(most of Russian territory still belongs to turkic tribes), Europe(Atilla and etc). Korea also nowadays extremely interested in Turkic culture, because their formation is also came from turkic (traditions, shamanism, language, etc). If you know one turkic language, you can communicate with lots of other turkic etnicities (i guess almost 40). So kazakh and turkic history is extremely complicated that historians from around the world restart study and research of these regions. As far I remember they came up with "first domestication of the horse or first apple "
Am i right but Kazakh people are actually biracial people actually product of mixing of Turkic people, Slavic and middle eastern that is why, you have Asian features eyes and skin and deep nose bridge as European people. In my opinion very good genetic. I had a lot of friends from Kazakhstan and all girls friends were really pretty I did not look the guys :-)
No koreans and chinese have very diff dna makeup. However, japanese and koreans do share similar dna makeup. Lots of koreans moved to japan since long ago.
There are still 38 of these comfort women alive. The Japanese, have never apologized to the Korea. People say it is just propaganda to disparage the Japanese country. Sometime the truth hurts.
Your dad's mother could be from northern Germany which would show much more closely with Britain than Southern Germany would; German is much harder to determine b/c they were not an isolated country. I'm 65% German/French myself but only show as 18.9% on 23andme. Also possible that she was part German and not fully German.
Beautiful skin tone! When it comes to ancestry testing it’s best to test the parents to compare results and get more information on background. The boarders of Germany have changed a lot over the decades and centuries, Alsace Lorraine has bounced back and forth from France and Germany quite a bit. Many Protestant Christians moved from the UK to Europe to practice their religion freely so that’s another potential for British dna in European people
+Tyrone All my life I said I'm a quarter German.... now it's been changed to British. Also I have a large percentage of Japanese... this even surprised my mother.
I know I'm a little late, but this 11,9% nortwestern European is probably German and also because It says you're British and Irish doesn't mean you're British, your probably still Irish, it's just that British and Irish DNA is so similar they couldn't tell the difference.
So it's funny that you are 15% Japanese, so I'm not sure if you know a lot about Korean history but Japan invaded Korea a few times way back and there were a lot of "mixing" so to speak that they forced upon Koreans at the time. They forced korean women into sexual slavery and a whole lotta horrible stuff in the past but anywho, it doesn't surprise me that there is Japanese DNA mixed in with Koreans (and vice versa). Even the Japanese emperor Akihito is part Korean based on his lineage dating all the way back to the 1200s.
+hoya548 hey interesting! Yes now that you mention this I do recall this. I also recall the Japanese invading china. There was a documentary about the blood of Nanjing and they did the same to the women there.
Yes, they call it the Nanjing Massacre. Quite sad but a lot of Japanese people still deny it happened to this day. Just very odd and backwards society despite their status today. But, you definitely have a good looking Korean face (haha!).
Also, I think you can still call yourself half Korean because your mother is definitely from there (and I'm pretty sure she doesn't associate herself with being called "part" Japanese). Have you brought this up to her? What does she think?
Also I missed additional info... i have 96% more Neanderthal DNA then millions in the database. Funny I found this because growing up we used to always call my younger brother the Korean Caveman: ruclips.net/video/W-uLdsEPhIc/видео.html
The broader geographical regions are accurate. It's when they try to be a bit more specific is when it gets more difficult and shouldn't be taken too seriously, especially from Europe. Keep in mind that they did not use a lot of DNA samples for these groups of people, i.e. Korean, Japanese, etc. On top of that, to get a good sample not only requires a lot, but also from different parts of the country.
My friend who's half Japanese and Korean- his result was 96percent Korean and the rest Japanese. Baekjae Dynasty almost entirely fled to Japan when it was attacked during 600s. So there has been lots of intermixing between K and J. Average Korean person is usually 45percent Korean, 15 japanese, 10 chinese... and other asian and rarely some have russian.

Just say you're half east-Asian, half northern European, and a wee bit of American Indian.
Sono...thank you! I am so sick and tired of Mexicans claiming to be "indigenous" with over 60% European DNA background and watching them bleaching their hair blonde and chasing white buys named "Brad" or "Bryce"...just stupid identity political whores looking to cash-in on the oppression lottery.
A lot of people fret at things that are actually trivial in these tests. For instance having aprox. 1% of something is nothing but "noise", it can be safely ignored. Also, within global regions (aprox. "racial areas") the distinction between sub-regions is quite blurry, for instance I was looking tonight at how the average Nigerian is only 50% "Nigerian" and the other 50% corresponds to other nearby regions with one of these tests (other sub-regions may be a bit more precise but never exact or anything near it), that's because withing any global region, say West Eurasia, East Asia, West-Central Africa, etc. there has been a lot of internal admixture through the ages, so it can only be taken as something rough and approximate. Finally you inherit 50% of your DNA from each of your parents but you DON'T inherit 25% from each grandparent (it may be a larger or smaller fraction and this is determined randomly before conception itself), and so on for older generations, so if you have for example a sibling he/she won't have your exact fractions, although won't probably be too far away either. In your case, your 51% East Asian is probably 50% from your Asian parent (was that your mother?) and 1% from your Euro-American father. This should not be any surprise: East Asian inflows have existed in Europe, via Siberia and Central Asia since the Mesolithic and are stronger towards the Northeast of the continent. Another possibility is that it's something Native American that at such low levels would be hard to discern from East Asian. As for the European part, it can indeed be a myth that German ancestry or there can be a convoluted story as you speculate, but there are other two possibilities: 1. The test is not really capable to discern British/Irish from Western continental. That would not be surprising at all, as all Northern Europeans from Ireland to Russia are very much alike (there are more differences between Southern Europeans in fact but there's a lot of overlap in all cases anyhow). 2. You got the lottery of not inheriting most of your German ancestry and got instead most of your British/Irish ancestry. This is quite possible and does not by itself dismantle the story of your ancestors, just that in the various recombination events since then, the Islander side got randomly favored over the German one. If you got your parent and grandparents to undergo similar tests, you could learn a bit about how that happened but only with your own genome is not enough. Hope this helps.
Great vid bro! Regarding your German ancestry - I wouldn't discount what your father says... Your results actually support your Grandmother being German and here's why: Firstly, ancestry tests are not an exact science, but I'm sure you know that already. Its not so much an issue with the DNA extraction or sequencing in the lab, but the problem lies in the process where they compare your DNA to 'pure' samples to determine your ethnicity. The problem is, there are no 'pure' ethnic samples! With so much mixing over the last millennia, many different populations share at least some DNA. Your Mums Korean DNA is a good example. Shared with Japanese and some Chinese, etc.. So anyway, back to the German... Referring to your results, you'll probably find that the 'Broadly Northwest European' is actually what any random German would show if their DNA was tested today. So that bit is most likely German. Much of western mainland Europe is difficult to differentiate in terms of DNA. With that in mind, combined with the 'French and German' and 'Broadly European', that total German is 16%... By general rules of probability, you should be 25% German and 25% Irish but of course genetic inheritance does not care for those rules! In your case, you happened to get more of your Dad Irish DNA than the German and ended up with 32% Irish and 16% German.. It all makes sense if you consider that if your Dads mixed DNA was in a circle and the mixed DNA was distributed unevenly and that mixed circle was cut in half, which way was it cut? It just so happened that you got the half that was loaded with Irish and a bit less German :) If you have siblings, get them tested also and you'll get a cl.earer picture of this with their results which may differ from yours quite a bit
I just got my DNA results! Holy crap, I got the same surprise as you from my Korean part. I'll make a video on it later today or by the end of this week.
Be aware that the ethnicity results are basically a guessing Game. Experts say that at best they can ONLY TELL ABOUT WHAT CONTINENT you are from. I think it's 23 and me that has an option to select confidence level. If you select a level like 90 percent it only gives you a continent!
The division of Eurasion continent to Europe and Asia held in second half of XVIII after rebellions in Ural region. Catherine II replaced the original name of lake "Yaik" with "Ural" and ordered Tatishev to divide Eurasia by making Ural mountains and Ural river as a border. It was done to push cossack nations down by getting their land, settling European looking russians and to get rid of their control (political power)
This was fascinating! You could try taking the raw data from 23andme and uploading it to Wegene, DNA.land, and GEDmatch to get some of the "broadly" percentages broken down even further. I just placed an order for the 23andme kit, but I have a feeling my results will be less mind blowing
Just because 23 & me doesn't test separately for British and Irish doesn't mean that you are both. You could be one or the other. If you want a definitive answer you have to go to Ancestry.com.
They lump together British&Irish but you might still be 32.6% Irish. Meaning your ancestors were culturally Irish, which would actually be what differentiated them from the British. It doesn't make much sense to say you're "British and Irish" if 0 of your recent ancestors actually lived in Great Britain or were at all culturally British.
I'm half Korean and Irish English Scottish. We did a DNA my full sister and full Korean mother had Japanese ! I believe Koreans went to a part in Japan near Kyushu its directly east of Korea
Most of us Americans do have a mix of British, Irish, Sottish, Wales and European because that is where our Ancestors were from before they emigrated to America. If i were asked what heritage i am i wouldnt name all of those places. In your case i think half Asian and half European would be a good way to state it.
As an Asian, I think that 23andMe does not do a good job identifying Asian haplogroups. First of all, China is a huge-ass place, but they don't have any subcategories for the different areas in China. If you simply google a map of Asian haplogroups, you can immediately see that there is at the very least some kind of distinction between Northern and Southern Chinese genes. And I heard from online discussions that there is no breakdown for Southeast Asians, which is ridiculous, because even regular people can often tell a Filipino apart from a Thai person without a DNA test. 23andme target customers are basically people who identify as Caucasians and want to know whether they have any other ancestries. Also, things like having a certain percentage of Japanese DNA does not mean that you literally have an ancestor who came from Japan. Over thousands of years people move around China, the Korean Peninsula, and Japan, so contrary to cultural beliefs, East Asians are not as "pure blooded" as they claim to be. I think 23andme should try to explain how their DNA identification works instead of just telling you country names.
YOU truly american i love how many find out they are mixed , its funny people are like you mean there will be more mixed people in the world soon, i am Spanish English Inca/mya and my kids i know have Asian blood because of there moms dad , well welcome to the worldly family i love the color gray it goes well with any color.
Everyone reading this know this. British is not a racial ,ethnic, tribal, and many more term. In fact it's a political,economical term. So when these gene test uses British as a term to conclude origins it is flawed. Example, in 600 CE Folks from today Lincolnshire would have very similar gene from today Bremen. Almost identical. So when would that qualify as German or British. They use markers of dna, mutation of gene.To catalog different dna. The dates of these mutation tells when and what degree of composition of a said dna. Here lies the difficulty what is zero or what gene is older then the other.
You mentioned your father was white American, and adopted. Did he speak of his biological parents being actual immigrants or white Americans of German and Irish ancestry? I ask this seeing several white American families like to pin point two or three countries of ancestry, in spite of the fact they’ll yet still have U.S. lineages in their family research wise they’ve come to dead ends on. Also what part of the U.S. his parents lived in? Even if your father was half German, half Irish, you wouldn’t have inherited an even proportion of each of those ethnicities seeing that according to geneticists we received a random 50 percent of each of our parents genetic make ups. An Ancestry DNA(ancestry.com)representative explains this on a youtube video, and they mention it on their site. I’m sure 23andMe probably does too. This is why full siblings never have the exact same dna test results.
I grew up in California, but I'm currently in Texas. I might try out the Ancestry DNA. On my ancestor, my mom is full Korean. My dad's from Tennessee, his family are from Appalachian Mountains of Tennessee, Virginia and North Carolina. Most of my dad's ancestor came from Northern Ireland (aka Scots-Irish or Ulster-Scots), they're Scottish people migrated to Northern Ireland. He has some German and English ancestor thrown in the family tree.
+mjurney ah nice! I was thinking doing dna ancestry too so I can compare both companies. If you do a test plz make a video and post back here id be interested to see what it reveals.
hello hapas. i actively searched youtube for a white/asian dna test result and found this. pretty cool. my mom is filipino and my dad is white. i did the test in nov, they lost my kit. retested in feb, still waiting for processing with ancestry. thanks for sharing the results. very interesting stuff. can't wait for mine. maybe a few more weeks.
Irish and British are genetically different, However the reason they lump them together is because Irish people invaded Scotland so most people from the West cost of Scotland would be 100% identical to Irish people and the Welsh are our closest Cousins sharing similar ancestors, the rest of the UK are totally different so it is misleading lumping them together, same with France/Germany. Any percent under 1% can be ignored and considered noise. The American Indian is just your Asian DNA.
@Chris McEvoy - They aren't genetically different. They are very similar which is why they overlap on dna cluster maps. There are also some very thorough genetic studies done on both the British and Irish people over the last couple of years.
I know don't if you know that English people are Germanic in Origin they are mixed with the Indigenous Brythonic speaking people of Briton and the Germanic that invaded in the 5th Century hence the lad of Angle and was born now England. The Land of the Angles they were the biggest tribe that came over with the Saxons Jutes and Frisians. Angle-Land. Hope that helps the only indigenous that are the Cornish, Welsh, and the Scotts. The scientist reckons they came together abut 858Ad but they came over about 449AD. That's indicated that they lived separately from the Indigenous population for 400 years but that didn't last.
A good-looking, well-adjusted successful male WM/AF Eurasian. Who would have thought? Certainly not the toxic haters over at reddit with their confirmation-biased circle jerk...
No, it means the german part of you is likely celtic, celtic culture came from west Germany (Hallstatt), and the strongest celtics genes now are located in Great-Britain and Ireland (french and german one were much more mixed through history).
How wonderous the differences between genetic ancestry and cultural ancestry. I don't have my results yet but have always identified with the German and Scottish lineage. But do I have their dna? This is so fun isn't it?
Your European is still most likely what your father said. The Irish get the highest amount of British & Irish (that component reaches a peak in Ireland) but some Germans especially Northern Germans can also get some British & Irish. French & German and Broadly Northwest European is where your German is as well. You have to understand the categories in these tests and see what people from certain ethnicities get in their results. Your result is quite consistent with your Irish and German.
It _is_ unusual to see someone whose known ancestry is half Asian and half European to get well over 50% Asian. Typically people get around about 48% - 49% of each and, along with one or two traces of this and that, the balance is unassigned.The unexpectedly high amount of British & Irish and the unexpectedly low amount of French and German are not altogether unusual. If you can afford to do so, I would strongly advise you to test one (or better) both of your parents with 23andme, so that you can phase your data. Phasing the data can help to clarify it a lot.
ILuvTrading Silly me! You've picked up slightly more Asian because your mother is Asian and you are a man which means you have a single copy of the X chromosome. That part of the mystery solved! (With women, you do get closer to 50-50.) Getting your father tested is still a good idea.
+resourcedragon yes you are correct! Maybe I should get my sisters to get a DNA test done too just out of curiosity. Hell maybe just get the whole fam done lol.
Has your dad been tested? It's possible that he is more German than you. It's all about what DNA you inherited from your parents so percentages can vary.
Not a negative comment, but "more Caucasian than Asian" is not totally correct. Caucasians originally are from levant area (Asia). A lot of Asians (not in sense East Asians) are whether predominately caucasian or they have a percentage of that in their DNA.
The broadly northwestern european can also be from Germany. They just say broadly because this part of Your DNA is common in this whole region. You must watch details- every company has his own system of sectionalizing regions. Some put for example Germany and France together. Other Germany and south England.
Your mother's German ancestry could have come from the area that keeps shifting in control from France to Germany...and may be showing as northwestern european as a result.
Actually the broadly Northewestern Euripean might all go into you French & German decent. They regrouped it with the ethnicity that were similar to those categories. :)
Yeah, your British percentage is somewhat related to your German ethnicity. British dna is somewhat similar to Dutch too hence why a lot of Dutch people kept receiving British percentages. Your family could very well come from North West Germany
Most likely, the Japanese comes into play because Korea was colonized by Japan from 1910 to 1945. There used to be a hatred of Japanese people by Koreans and intolerance of Korean mixed children by Japanese in the not very distant past. I have seen several movies and read books with both underlying and overt references to the animosity between the two cultures. I had to look it up to get a better understanding. I believe it happened during the period of Queen Min.
Japanese occupation of Korea led to korean women being forced into slavery as "comfort women" for the Japanese military. Likely, this explains your korean/japanese mix.
Your brain washed Korean mind conclude that way. Search with "23andMe results for Korean". You will find the Reddit. discussion board. 23andMe used the database as follows. Chinese 699 database (241 publicly available, other 23andMe collected), Japanese 255 (105 publicly available, other 23andMe collected), Korean only 76, (all collected by 23andMe. probably there were no authetic DNA data were not provided by Korean scholars) So Korean DNA did not have good database. If the sample size is small and bad quality the variances become huge. However 23andMe updated database in March 2018. After upgrading DNA database, Korean people are getting much higher Korean percentage than before. It seems the new database are working well. When people are too preoccupied with one conclusion, they never try to see/find the other answers even they are there. It is dangerous. It was not the history, it was the database.
Brittany Yen said, “Japanese occupation of Korea led to korean women being forced into slavery as ‘comfort women’ for the Japanese military.” J. Mark Ramseyer, Mitsubishi Professor of Japanese Legal Studies at Harvard University, said, “But the claims about enslaved Korean comfort women are historically untrue. The Japanese army did not dragoon Korean women to work in its brothels. It did not use Korean women as sex slaves. The claims to the contrary are simply ー factually ー false.”
I'm not Korean... ??? I just lived there, heard their perspectives, looked into it and have come to the conclusion that if you look past all of the political biases and just take into account the pure volume of people making this claim of a shared experience, there is probably some truth to it. Just like all the unofficial reports from vietnamese people of abuse at the hands of the US military are likely true, at least in part.
Friend the gene that they call Japanese is not that. In fact Korean, Chinese , Japanese , etc. all have common genes. Neither of one said ethnicity can willy stake claim to these common genes. Currently a set premise is followed by these gene testing companies. Which will undoubtedly be changed. Most likely by market needs not science. Yes science is not setting these premises. In fact the market is. But isn't it intriguing that they said your mother gave you Japanese genes. Having you to conclude that some Japanese came over to Korean and released.his gene on to the Korean Peninsula.
Just a small comment on the filming - Why are you talking to someone sitting next to me, and not directly to me? Look into the camera lens when talking to us. If you were talking to me in real life, you would look me in my eyes, and not 2 feet to my right. :-)
Not trying to be rude. Only a small tip for getting even better in the future :-) I know from my own experience that viewfinders that flip up are easy to look at, so I don't use it at all and only focus on talking to the lens.

I would say he could easily pass as a Kazakh. We, Eurasians, have so much admixture, we are not sure who we are anymore.
If you read up on how DNA works then you will see that you can pull different amounts of parts of your parents DNA. So you don't necessarily get a straight 50% from each parents DNA you can pull more of one component in each of your parents DNA and less of another component. It's really interesting fascinating stuff in how it all works.
you look like an Asian Richard Gere - the young version.
+Jim Beam Interesting some people before have said the same thing. I used to joke around saying he was my biological father.
Jim Beam...but without the gerbils
I remember when I was at a beach in Busan Korea. You can see Japanese islands from the shore. It's not surprising that people were moving back and forth throughout millennia and we were all boinking each other. There is lots of Korean blood in Japan and vice versa and I am yet to meet a 100% 'Korean" or 100% "Japanese" person from DNA results
23andme admits they have a difficult time reliably identifying German DNA .... because Germans are so mixed, depending on what region they are in they are related to their neighbors, and Germanic tribes were part of the founding stock of England. Therefore, just because it gave you a much lower (3.4%) German percentage than you were expecting doesn't necessarily mean you aren't more significantly German. Some of it may have also gotten into their generic Broadly Northwestern European category of which a lot is reported for you (11.9%).
You can also use the free ethnicity admixture tools at the GEDmatch website to get second opinions of how much of your ancestry derives from different European regions such as Central Europe, North Sea, Atlantic coast, Korea, Japan. Another good site is DNA Land.
+purplecorn hey this is excellent info thanks so much! Gonna check out that GEDmatch when I get home.
Very correct.. I have a "British" Last name and was always told I was British. I did a DNA test and submitted it to the GEDmatch also and it stated that the only "true British" were the Welsh and I have German, French, Italian blended in- which I found out is not uncommon.
u could still have German, especially if ur family was from North Western Germany then their genes will be very similar to British people. you have to understand that Western European people like Germans French and British are highly related peoples and they mixed over the centuries. you could be from Germany and have all of your family from their for the past five hundred years and still score high on British DNA. this is the same for countries like Korea and Japan they are neighbors ans have been so for thousands of years it's not a surprise u have some Japanese. so it doesn't make much sense to say ur Korean and Japanese when ur most likely 50 percent korean as far as nationality goes but u contain genes from Japan (probably like the rest of Koreans)
+Lion Heart very interesting info thank you.
Totally agree. The guy has high % of Northern European that is very close to German. Nothing shocking in the report, very close to expectations.
It's because of common ancestors, and migration.That's why Native American and East Asian are shown together, You may be all East Asian for instance but you have DNA common to Native Americans. Tracking down German ancestry will most likely require a more in-depth research, remember Europe as a continent has changed quite a bit, countries that existed, like Prussia for instance don't exist today.
Nope, East Asians will not come up as native Americans. Native American comes up as there own branch. They were separated for over 15000 years.
Did you watch the video? The result showed East Asian / Native American. Whether they were separated or not, if the common gene is continually passed down it will still match.That is why traces of neanderthal can still be found in DNA samples today.
Korean, Japanese and Irish, British ... Interesting! Korea-Japan relationship is basically like Irland-Britain, so you got double sets of them lol
You probably are actually part German, most of British DNA is also German. The test you took may somehow conflate the two DNA results. A good example of this is the British royal family are actually Germans. 😉
you are extremely handsome anyway
Thank you so much for sharing! I can of course tell you're Asian just by looking at you, it's always interesting to know the other pieces too. I never met my father so I'm dying to know what I've got from him. My mom had reddish brown hair, fair skin and freckles (none of which I have) pretty sure she was Irish. I have a family tree showing East Germany, and dating back to England in the early 1500's on her side. My mom used to tell me I could tan well like my father, oh man I'm just dying to know what he was. I think I will be going through the same company you did as well.
+Thrifty Working Girl hey if u get tested and make a video plz post link back on here somewhere.
Very cool! Just a note - people inherit differing amounts of DNA from their parents, so you could have just gotten a bigger chunk of Irish/British and a tiny amount if German. Nationality is a completely different thing from DNA. My Ancestry test said I was 47 % Western European, and that's where my German and French is hiding.
Wow, at first glance, I thought you were a Latino guy! But after studying your features, I can see both the Asian and the northern European.
Most likely, the Broadly NW European is in fact German. It's hard to differentiate German from Austrian, Swiss, Belgian, etc. IIRC, German DNA has a very low recall rate on the 23and me site. Ancestry DNA simply categorizes it as Europe West. Interesting mix nonetheless. Thanks for sharing.
I wonder how many people actually have 99% of one DNA. This information can really help people to understand their health better !
Gemma Scott-my map is pretty boring because I am 99.2% Chinese.
Violet G oh nice ! A rare talent 🤗
I'm 99.6% East African but people sometimes assume I have Middle Eastern or European admixture because of my facial features and hair texture. Some have no clue that Africa is quite diverse and there no one African look. North Africans are for example 80% arabized natives to the region and not descendants of Arabs.
Ohh, you look like average people from Kazakhstan. I thought you are one of my relatives, because you have extremely similar features as my uncles(even my dad). Maybe, you have turkic blood that is superior in Eurasia continent (they are in whole Central Asia, in North(Russia have lots of Turkic ethnicities, East as Korea, Middle East, etc)
+Fariza1993 yea I've gotten that before too... Kazakhstan! I actually know a few people from there too. I wonder what your DNA results reveal? Have u taken any of these test?
I haven't done it yet, thought that I don't need a test. Because, by tradition, it is mandatory to know your direct ancesries name at least for 7 generations starting with dad. Therefore, we were taught about 'from which tribe or juz you are, who were they in early decades , etc' in early ages. We have family tree books from both parents side which are updated after some changes such as birth of new member. I used to know names of my ancesty for 11 generations starting with Kuli by memory. I am from Kazakh(it has 3 main juzes): Senior Juz>Dulat>Shymyr>Bekbolat>Kuli>...>Kylyshbek(grandpa)>Baizhan(dad)>me. There is a concept of pure blood therefore youngs from one line (as for me it is" Kuli ru") cannot marry to each other. We consider them as cousins or brother/sisters. Each of the 3 main Juzes(Senior, Middle, and Junior juzes) has its own history that differs.
Kazakh nation occured only in XV century by the formation of different turkic and mongol tribes that wanted liberty and live like a nomads refucing the political laws. As kazakh mostly means "one wo has broken away from the existing political order" or "wandering steppemen" or "unordered". I think turkic people were one of the main momentum of historical changes (from east Asia to Europe and even Africa). There are a lot of turkic people that ruled in China, Egypt(from kipchak tribe as Sultan Beibarys... , in Russian(most of Russian territory still belongs to turkic tribes), Europe(Atilla and etc). Korea also nowadays extremely interested in Turkic culture, because their formation is also came from turkic (traditions, shamanism, language, etc). If you know one turkic language, you can communicate with lots of other turkic etnicities (i guess almost 40). So kazakh and turkic history is extremely complicated that historians from around the world restart study and research of these regions. As far I remember they came up with "first domestication of the horse or first apple "
Am i right but Kazakh people are actually biracial people actually product of mixing of Turkic people, Slavic
and middle eastern that is why, you have Asian features eyes and skin and deep nose bridge as European people. In my opinion very good genetic. I had a lot of friends from Kazakhstan and all girls friends were really pretty I did not look the guys :-)
ILuvTrading I'm 25% Kazakh.
No koreans and chinese have very diff dna makeup. However, japanese and koreans do share similar dna makeup. Lots of koreans moved to japan since long ago.
There are still 38 of these comfort women alive. The Japanese, have never apologized to the Korea. People say it is just propaganda to disparage the Japanese country. Sometime the truth hurts.
Your dad's mother could be from northern Germany which would show much more closely with Britain than Southern Germany would; German is much harder to determine b/c they were not an isolated country. I'm 65% German/French myself but only show as 18.9% on 23andme. Also possible that she was part German and not fully German.
+44Blueskies ah some good points here thank you.
I just uploaded my 23 and Me results video and was interested in seeing what results other people got. So cool!!
At least you kept it short and didn't drag things out for ages. Good man
+John Winter thx bro!!
Beautiful skin tone! When it comes to ancestry testing it’s best to test the parents to compare results and get more information on background. The boarders of Germany have changed a lot over the decades and centuries, Alsace Lorraine has bounced back and forth from France and Germany quite a bit. Many Protestant Christians moved from the UK to Europe to practice their religion freely so that’s another potential for British dna in European people
You can't believe this. Twins took test like these and it came back completely different eventhough they share same parents
I'm hapa too :) looking forward to taking this test myself and seeing what's up.
+René Paramore make a vid when u get the results and plz post the link in here somewhere.
NorthWest European also means German!
German plus Swiss, Dutch, Czech, etc.
I don't see where the shock is.
+Tyrone All my life I said I'm a quarter German.... now it's been changed to British. Also I have a large percentage of Japanese... this even surprised my mother.
ILuvTrading Thanks for the response and happy new year to you.
+Tyrone no prob... Happy New Year to u as well!!
I know I'm a little late, but this 11,9% nortwestern European is probably German and also because It says you're British and Irish doesn't mean you're British, your probably still Irish, it's just that British and Irish DNA is so similar they couldn't tell the difference.
@Random Guy - Yes you are spot on.
Interesting results and thanks for sharing with us. The results prove that endogamy [marriage outside the tribe or group] produces handsome people.
So it's funny that you are 15% Japanese, so I'm not sure if you know a lot about Korean history but Japan invaded Korea a few times way back and there were a lot of "mixing" so to speak that they forced upon Koreans at the time. They forced korean women into sexual slavery and a whole lotta horrible stuff in the past but anywho, it doesn't surprise me that there is Japanese DNA mixed in with Koreans (and vice versa). Even the Japanese emperor Akihito is part Korean based on his lineage dating all the way back to the 1200s.
Additionally it wouldn't be China > Japan > Korea. It would actually be China > Korea > Japan. Japan is an island (the most East of Asia).
+hoya548 hey interesting! Yes now that you mention this I do recall this. I also recall the Japanese invading china. There was a documentary about the blood of Nanjing and they did the same to the women there.
Yes, they call it the Nanjing Massacre. Quite sad but a lot of Japanese people still deny it happened to this day. Just very odd and backwards society despite their status today. But, you definitely have a good looking Korean face (haha!).
Also, I think you can still call yourself half Korean because your mother is definitely from there (and I'm pretty sure she doesn't associate herself with being called "part" Japanese). Have you brought this up to her? What does she think?
+hoya548 have you got a DNA test? What is your makeup?
Also I missed additional info... i have 96% more Neanderthal DNA then millions in the database. Funny I found this because growing up we used to always call my younger brother the Korean Caveman: ruclips.net/video/W-uLdsEPhIc/видео.html
I see a resemblance. Look up the movie Iceman from the mlid 80's. It stars asian actor John Lone.
funny
iLuvTrading g
Wow this is so interesting! I'm convinced to take the test now :) I am also hapa!
Yea go for it!!
The broader geographical regions are accurate. It's when they try to be a bit more specific is when it gets more difficult and shouldn't be taken too seriously, especially from Europe. Keep in mind that they did not use a lot of DNA samples for these groups of people, i.e. Korean, Japanese, etc. On top of that, to get a good sample not only requires a lot, but also from different parts of the country.
Congrats. You got the best of all worlds
My friend who's half Japanese and Korean- his result was 96percent Korean and the rest Japanese. Baekjae Dynasty almost entirely fled to Japan when it was attacked during 600s. So there has been lots of intermixing between K and J. Average Korean person is usually 45percent Korean, 15 japanese, 10 chinese... and other asian and rarely some have russian.
Just say you're half east-Asian, half northern European, and a wee bit of American Indian.
+BRYAN351 lol... yea that's the best way to answer!
BRYAN351..."Native American"???
My cat "Apache" is more Native American.
Sono...thank you!
I am so sick and tired of Mexicans claiming to be "indigenous" with over 60% European DNA background and watching them bleaching their hair blonde and chasing white buys named "Brad" or "Bryce"...just stupid identity political whores looking to cash-in on the oppression lottery.
A lot of people fret at things that are actually trivial in these tests. For instance having aprox. 1% of something is nothing but "noise", it can be safely ignored. Also, within global regions (aprox. "racial areas") the distinction between sub-regions is quite blurry, for instance I was looking tonight at how the average Nigerian is only 50% "Nigerian" and the other 50% corresponds to other nearby regions with one of these tests (other sub-regions may be a bit more precise but never exact or anything near it), that's because withing any global region, say West Eurasia, East Asia, West-Central Africa, etc. there has been a lot of internal admixture through the ages, so it can only be taken as something rough and approximate. Finally you inherit 50% of your DNA from each of your parents but you DON'T inherit 25% from each grandparent (it may be a larger or smaller fraction and this is determined randomly before conception itself), and so on for older generations, so if you have for example a sibling he/she won't have your exact fractions, although won't probably be too far away either.
In your case, your 51% East Asian is probably 50% from your Asian parent (was that your mother?) and 1% from your Euro-American father. This should not be any surprise: East Asian inflows have existed in Europe, via Siberia and Central Asia since the Mesolithic and are stronger towards the Northeast of the continent. Another possibility is that it's something Native American that at such low levels would be hard to discern from East Asian. As for the European part, it can indeed be a myth that German ancestry or there can be a convoluted story as you speculate, but there are other two possibilities:
1. The test is not really capable to discern British/Irish from Western continental. That would not be surprising at all, as all Northern Europeans from Ireland to Russia are very much alike (there are more differences between Southern Europeans in fact but there's a lot of overlap in all cases anyhow).
2. You got the lottery of not inheriting most of your German ancestry and got instead most of your British/Irish ancestry. This is quite possible and does not by itself dismantle the story of your ancestors, just that in the various recombination events since then, the Islander side got randomly favored over the German one. If you got your parent and grandparents to undergo similar tests, you could learn a bit about how that happened but only with your own genome is not enough.
Hope this helps.
+Luis Aldamiz wow great info thx man!!
Twins have done these tests and surprisingly came back with different results.
It's all fascinating.... from what I understand if you have a biological sibling they could be something else entirely different from you
This isn't shocking, you are more than just your grandparents, you a mix of many generations.
Great vid bro! Regarding your German ancestry - I wouldn't discount what your father says... Your results actually support your Grandmother being German and here's why:
Firstly, ancestry tests are not an exact science, but I'm sure you know that already. Its not so much an issue with the DNA extraction or sequencing in the lab, but the problem lies in the process where they compare your DNA to 'pure' samples to determine your ethnicity. The problem is, there are no 'pure' ethnic samples! With so much mixing over the last millennia, many different populations share at least some DNA. Your Mums Korean DNA is a good example. Shared with Japanese and some Chinese, etc.. So anyway, back to the German...
Referring to your results, you'll probably find that the 'Broadly Northwest European' is actually what any random German would show if their DNA was tested today. So that bit is most likely German. Much of western mainland Europe is difficult to differentiate in terms of DNA. With that in mind, combined with the 'French and German' and 'Broadly European', that total German is 16%...
By general rules of probability, you should be 25% German and 25% Irish but of course genetic inheritance does not care for those rules!
In your case, you happened to get more of your Dad Irish DNA than the German and ended up with 32% Irish and 16% German..
It all makes sense if you consider that if your Dads mixed DNA was in a circle and the mixed DNA was distributed unevenly and that mixed circle was cut in half, which way was it cut? It just so happened that you got the half that was loaded with Irish and a bit less German :)
If you have siblings, get them tested also and you'll get a cl.earer picture of this with their results which may differ from yours quite a bit
I just got my kit and I'm supposedly half Russian-Jewish, 1/4 Korean, and 1/4 Puerto Rican... we'll see. How long did it take to get the results?
+Kel 叶蓓 make a video when u get the results I'd be interested to see what they say. I think it took like 2 weeks to get my results back.
I'm sending it back out today, I'll make a video!
I just got my DNA results! Holy crap, I got the same surprise as you from my Korean part. I'll make a video on it later today or by the end of this week.
Kel 叶蓓 nice!!! Plz post link back here when it's up 👍🏻
Whatever you are you are a very attractive man!
Be aware that the ethnicity results are basically a guessing Game. Experts say that at best they can ONLY TELL ABOUT WHAT CONTINENT you are from.
I think it's 23 and me that has an option to select confidence level. If you select a level like 90 percent it only gives you a continent!
The division of Eurasion continent to Europe and Asia held in second half of XVIII after rebellions in Ural region. Catherine II replaced the original name of lake "Yaik" with "Ural" and ordered Tatishev to divide Eurasia by making Ural mountains and Ural river as a border. It was done to push cossack nations down by getting their land, settling European looking russians and to get rid of their control (political power)
I honestly thought you were Finnish or Russian. I was shocked when the video got more into it.
This was fascinating! You could try taking the raw data from 23andme and uploading it to Wegene, DNA.land, and GEDmatch to get some of the "broadly" percentages broken down even further.
I just placed an order for the 23andme kit, but I have a feeling my results will be less mind blowing
I wonder if a lot of people who emigrated from Britain just said they were Irish to avoid all the baggage in peoples minds.
Just because 23 & me doesn't test separately for British and Irish doesn't mean that you are both. You could be one or the other. If you want a definitive answer you have to go to Ancestry.com.
+Cristiolus yes of course not. However I just used logical reasoning w the data I was provided. And yes I need check out Ancestry.com.
the reason they stick countries together is because they're dna is the same and the only difference is language
They lump together British&Irish but you might still be 32.6% Irish. Meaning your ancestors were culturally Irish, which would actually be what differentiated them from the British. It doesn't make much sense to say you're "British and Irish" if 0 of your recent ancestors actually lived in Great Britain or were at all culturally British.
I'm half Korean and Irish English Scottish. We did a DNA my full sister and full Korean mother had Japanese ! I believe Koreans went to a part in Japan near Kyushu its directly east of Korea
Most of us Americans do have a mix of British, Irish, Sottish, Wales and European because that is where our Ancestors were from before they emigrated to America. If i were asked what heritage i am i wouldnt name all of those places. In your case i think half Asian and half European would be a good way to state it.
Let me guess you're 70% asian 20% European and 10% middle eastern
It's all subject to change as the testing databases grow.
+Jo Swearingen yea true
Regardless, you're a nice looking and well spoken young man.
As an Asian, I think that 23andMe does not do a good job identifying Asian haplogroups. First of all, China is a huge-ass place, but they don't have any subcategories for the different areas in China. If you simply google a map of Asian haplogroups, you can immediately see that there is at the very least some kind of distinction between Northern and Southern Chinese genes. And I heard from online discussions that there is no breakdown for Southeast Asians, which is ridiculous, because even regular people can often tell a Filipino apart from a Thai person without a DNA test. 23andme target customers are basically people who identify as Caucasians and want to know whether they have any other ancestries. Also, things like having a certain percentage of Japanese DNA does not mean that you literally have an ancestor who came from Japan. Over thousands of years people move around China, the Korean Peninsula, and Japan, so contrary to cultural beliefs, East Asians are not as "pure blooded" as they claim to be. I think 23andme should try to explain how their DNA identification works instead of just telling you country names.
YOU truly american i love how many find out they are mixed , its funny people are like you mean there will be more mixed people in the world soon, i am Spanish English Inca/mya and my kids i know have Asian blood because of there moms dad , well welcome to the worldly family i love the color gray it goes well with any color.
Everyone reading this know this. British is not a racial ,ethnic, tribal, and many more term. In fact it's a political,economical term. So when these gene test uses British as a term to conclude origins it is flawed. Example, in 600 CE Folks from today Lincolnshire would have very similar gene from today Bremen. Almost identical. So when would that qualify as German or British. They use markers of dna, mutation of gene.To catalog different dna. The dates of these mutation tells when and what degree of composition of a said dna.
Here lies the difficulty what is zero or what gene is older then the other.
You mentioned your father was white American, and adopted. Did he speak of his biological parents being actual immigrants or white Americans of German and Irish ancestry? I ask this seeing several white American families like to pin point two or three countries of ancestry, in spite of the fact they’ll yet still have U.S. lineages in their family research wise they’ve come to dead ends on. Also what part of the U.S. his parents lived in? Even if your father was half German, half Irish, you wouldn’t have inherited an even proportion of each of those ethnicities seeing that according to geneticists we received a random 50 percent of each of our parents genetic make ups. An Ancestry DNA(ancestry.com)representative explains this on a youtube video, and they mention it on their site. I’m sure 23andMe probably does too. This is why full siblings never have the exact same dna test results.
You look Italian. But my favorite answer to "What are you?" Is "none of your f*cking business" lol
You're looking good. I'm a hapa. Half Korean and half Scots-Irish/German. I always wanted to check out the DNA testing and see what I am. hehe.
+mjurney ah my fellow Hapa! Are you from the US? Are gonna take one of these test?
I grew up in California, but I'm currently in Texas. I might try out the Ancestry DNA. On my ancestor, my mom is full Korean. My dad's from Tennessee, his family are from Appalachian Mountains of Tennessee, Virginia and North Carolina. Most of my dad's ancestor came from Northern Ireland (aka Scots-Irish or Ulster-Scots), they're Scottish people migrated to Northern Ireland. He has some German and English ancestor thrown in the family tree.
+mjurney ah nice! I was thinking doing dna ancestry too so I can compare both companies. If you do a test plz make a video and post back here id be interested to see what it reveals.
If I have a chance I might do a video. hehe.
hello hapas. i actively searched youtube for a white/asian dna test result and found this. pretty cool. my mom is filipino and my dad is white. i did the test in nov, they lost my kit. retested in feb, still waiting for processing with ancestry. thanks for sharing the results. very interesting stuff. can't wait for mine. maybe a few more weeks.
Irish and British are genetically different, However the reason they lump them together is because Irish people invaded Scotland so most people from the West cost of Scotland would be 100% identical to Irish people and the Welsh are our closest Cousins sharing similar ancestors, the rest of the UK are totally different so it is misleading lumping them together, same with France/Germany. Any percent under 1% can be ignored and considered noise. The American Indian is just your Asian DNA.
@Chris McEvoy - They aren't genetically different. They are very similar which is why they overlap on dna cluster maps. There are also some very thorough genetic studies done on both the British and Irish people over the last couple of years.
He look like Kazakhstan man
I know don't if you know that English people are Germanic in Origin they are mixed with the Indigenous Brythonic speaking people of Briton and the Germanic that invaded in the 5th Century hence the lad of Angle and was born now England. The Land of the Angles they were the biggest tribe that came over with the Saxons Jutes and Frisians. Angle-Land. Hope that helps the only indigenous that are the Cornish, Welsh, and the Scotts. The scientist reckons they came together abut 858Ad but they came over about 449AD. That's indicated that they lived separately from the Indigenous population for 400 years but that didn't last.
im half korean half british and really want to do a dna test!
Did this man just say all Asians came from Chinese?.............lmao You sound like a white person after that line buddy...
+Hyperborean Colonialism that came form my white side sorry lol
the more, the better :) everything is OK :)
+Suzana X 😄
A good-looking, well-adjusted successful male WM/AF Eurasian. Who would have thought? Certainly not the toxic haters over at reddit with their confirmation-biased circle jerk...
Half Korean and half German/Irish, huh? Are you related to Markiplier? 😂
No, it means the german part of you is likely celtic, celtic culture came from west Germany (Hallstatt), and the strongest celtics genes now are located in Great-Britain and Ireland (french and german one were much more mixed through history).
How wonderous the differences between genetic ancestry and cultural ancestry. I don't have my results yet but have always identified with the German and Scottish lineage. But do I have their dna? This is so fun isn't it?
Your European is still most likely what your father said. The Irish get the highest amount of British & Irish (that component reaches a peak in Ireland) but some Germans especially Northern Germans can also get some British & Irish. French & German and Broadly Northwest European is where your German is as well. You have to understand the categories in these tests and see what people from certain ethnicities get in their results. Your result is quite consistent with your Irish and German.
It _is_ unusual to see someone whose known ancestry is half Asian and half European to get well over 50% Asian. Typically people get around about 48% - 49% of each and, along with one or two traces of this and that, the balance is unassigned.The unexpectedly high amount of British & Irish and the unexpectedly low amount of French and German are not altogether unusual. If you can afford to do so, I would strongly advise you to test one (or better) both of your parents with 23andme, so that you can phase your data. Phasing the data can help to clarify it a lot.
+resourcedragon thx for the comment... gonna definitely get it for my father... maybe my mother too if she's curious as well.
ILuvTrading Silly me! You've picked up slightly more Asian because your mother is Asian and you are a man which means you have a single copy of the X chromosome. That part of the mystery solved! (With women, you do get closer to 50-50.) Getting your father tested is still a good idea.
+resourcedragon yes you are correct! Maybe I should get my sisters to get a DNA test done too just out of curiosity. Hell maybe just get the whole fam done lol.
Hey, I'm Asian, European, and Native American too. LOL
Has your dad been tested? It's possible that he is more German than you. It's all about what DNA you inherited from your parents so percentages can vary.
You are half Korean and half European, mainly Irish.
Not a negative comment, but "more Caucasian than Asian" is not totally correct. Caucasians originally are from levant area (Asia). A lot of Asians (not in sense East Asians) are whether predominately caucasian or they have a percentage of that in their DNA.
The broadly northwestern european can also be from Germany. They just say broadly because this part of Your DNA is common in this whole region. You must watch details- every company has his own system of sectionalizing regions. Some put for example Germany and France together. Other Germany and south England.
Your mother's German ancestry could have come from the area that keeps shifting in control from France to Germany...and may be showing as northwestern european as a result.
Hav you check again? White in the last 1 months or so??
I'm sure other people have commented this, but the anglo-saxons are germanic, so not surprising at all.
Actually the broadly Northewestern Euripean might all go into you French & German decent. They regrouped it with the ethnicity that were similar to those categories. :)
Well, the Japanese maybe was "added" during the occupation of Korea by Japan.
You looks like Kuzzat Uyghur
Yeah, your British percentage is somewhat related to your German ethnicity. British dna is somewhat similar to Dutch too hence why a lot of Dutch people kept receiving British percentages. Your family could very well come from North West Germany
wow, what a good mix so hamsome.omg 😱
+Mary Nun 😊
Thanks for sharing.
Youre really good looking. Have you started your family tree to see the links yet?
You have almond eyes , I'm surprised you didn't question what you were told about your ancestry earlier ?
Wow. So cool.
You look pretty much like South Kazakh...)))) and you look a little like Christopher O'Dowd (IT Crowd)
Most likely, the Japanese comes into play because Korea was colonized by Japan from 1910 to 1945. There used to be a hatred of Japanese people by Koreans and intolerance of Korean mixed children by Japanese in the not very distant past. I have seen several movies and read books with both underlying and overt references to the animosity between the two cultures. I had to look it up to get a better understanding. I believe it happened during the period of Queen Min.
**Reads Thumbnail PHOTO..**
Me: **ASIAN**
Edit: lmao.. I taught you're 100% Asian.. "lol" with a serious face irl
Japanese occupation of Korea led to korean women being forced into slavery as "comfort women" for the Japanese military. Likely, this explains your korean/japanese mix.
Yup probably
Your brain washed Korean mind conclude that way. Search with "23andMe results for Korean". You will find the Reddit. discussion board. 23andMe used the database as follows. Chinese 699 database (241 publicly available, other 23andMe collected), Japanese 255 (105 publicly available, other 23andMe collected), Korean only 76, (all collected by 23andMe. probably there were no authetic DNA data were not provided by Korean scholars) So Korean DNA did not have good database. If the sample size is small and bad quality the variances become huge.
However 23andMe updated database in March 2018. After upgrading DNA database, Korean people are getting much higher Korean percentage than before. It seems the new database are working well.
When people are too preoccupied with one conclusion, they never try to see/find the other answers even they are there. It is dangerous. It was not the history, it was the database.
Brittany Yen said, “Japanese occupation of Korea led to korean women being forced into slavery as ‘comfort women’ for the Japanese military.” J. Mark Ramseyer, Mitsubishi Professor of Japanese Legal Studies at Harvard University, said, “But the claims about enslaved Korean comfort women are historically untrue. The Japanese army did not dragoon Korean women to work in its brothels. It did not use Korean women as sex slaves. The claims to the contrary are simply ー factually ー false.”
I'm not Korean... ??? I just lived there, heard their perspectives, looked into it and have come to the conclusion that if you look past all of the political biases and just take into account the pure volume of people making this claim of a shared experience, there is probably some truth to it. Just like all the unofficial reports from vietnamese people of abuse at the hands of the US military are likely true, at least in part.
Looks Asian, gets surprised he's Asian...
his dad thought he was German, he is british. His mom is surprised to see a lot of Japanese ancestry. For a Korean that would be a big deal.
This was a drunk post I didn't though he was Asian when I watched the video again 😩
What would be a real shocker is if the results came back and said he was Nigerian.
Friend the gene that they call Japanese is not that. In fact Korean, Chinese , Japanese , etc. all have common genes. Neither of one said ethnicity can willy stake claim to these common genes. Currently a set premise is followed by these gene testing companies. Which will undoubtedly be changed. Most likely by market needs not science. Yes science is not setting these premises. In fact the market is. But isn't it intriguing that they said your mother gave you Japanese genes. Having you to conclude that some Japanese came over to Korean and released.his gene on to the Korean Peninsula.
Looks like your Celtic-Asian, which is Irish Scots Welsh and English before the Saxon invasion 449 AD
You can actually see the Japanese more than the Korean.
Before you start calling yourself part Japanese I recommend looking into the limitations of DNA testing.
Just a small comment on the filming - Why are you talking to someone sitting next to me, and not directly to me? Look into the camera lens when talking to us. If you were talking to me in real life, you would look me in my eyes, and not 2 feet to my right. :-)
+sjokomelk thank you.. I didn't realize this until u mentioned this. Not sure if I did this in my other vids 👍🏻
Not trying to be rude. Only a small tip for getting even better in the future :-)
I know from my own experience that viewfinders that flip up are easy to look at, so I don't use it at all and only focus on talking to the lens.
Ancestry DNA breaks down Irish & British so that's the test I am going to do as those 2 are major factors...
Markiplier is that you? Lol
+John Wick I've had 100s of people say this. I do see somewhat of a resembles I just wish I was as popular as him ha!
Haha I've been told I look like him also I'm Polynesian however; yeah you're videos are quite cool dude! I too wish I was as popular as markiplier haha
+John Wick we should contact him... I'm sure he can make a vid about his look alikes ha!
