I've never understood why they try to break down Africa into countries rather than tribal peoples. You'd never try to break Native American or First Nations down by state/providence. It seems that would be easier to define to me. I see it not that differently than defining "Germanic Peoples" and "Nordic peoples" and "Celtic peoples". It makes sense to me to use Southern Bantu Peoples, the Malagasy, the Dinka, the Maasai, the Luo, peoples of the Sahel, North African, people of the Horn, and I know there are others. I feel like some of the services try to break down in a more ethnic vs geopolitical way, but I don't get why they don't all do it this way.
They do both. For Africans, they are now telling people if their Nigerian is either Igbo or Yoruba for example. In Native Americans, they mostly only break it down by region (Indigenous North, Indigenous Arctic, Indigenous Yucatan Peninsula, Indigenous South).
Tribes do not necessarily reflect distinct DNA differences. For example, I wonder whether North American indigenous tribes were geographically separated long enough for any identifiable distinctions to emerge.
We get much better African results from 3rd party sites such as yourdnaportal. Though they tend not to use Malagasy as a reference due to them being mixed African and Southeast Asian. My mum is about 17-20% African on most tests (she's 50% Mauritian Creole 50% English), on YDPs Modern African test her African is broken down into 6% Ronga Mozambique, 5% Chopi Mozambique and 4% Tswa Mozambique with the remaining 2% a mixture of 0.5% of Bedzan Cameroon, Biaka Pygmy Cameroon, Duala Cameroon and Manyika Mozambique. We know our African is mostly Mozambican and Malagasy via slavery in Mauritius. That's why it's frustrating when I see so many Indian Ocean Islanders on YT, Reddit etc share their results from MyHeritage and they are shocked they are largely "Nigerian" but if they took a test with any of the other companies they likely have very little Nigerian at all.
Malagasy are mixed with asian
@@zegedthe original people were not
This was fun, especially since the Scotland history guy brings a great sense of humor to the subject.
Wow this guy looks like my late father!! Awww I miss my Daddy
The thing to remember as well is that these numbers are in ranges. I have Ulster Scots/Irish heritage except for my Great grandfather who was English. So I should have about 12-13% English. Nope, according to Ancestry… only 3%. MyHeritage does have a higher number though. But when you check the English number on Ancestry it says it can range from 0% to 23%. Now that’s quite a difference!
Can we get a Relative Race reacts series going again for the new season?
Yesssss I loved those videos so much
Scotland History Tours is a great channel.
MH really sucks for African results. Mine and my mum's African on there is "Nigerian" but our African Ancestry is mostly Mozambican and Malagasy which is mostly Southern Bantu or Southern East African on Ancestry and 23andme.
Infact Norway used to own The Islands of the coast of Scotland.
Myheritage sucks when it comes too ethnicity estimates this family should’ve don’t Ancestry or 23&me
my 4% german and 2% france isnt trace as ive found the german ancestors on my fathers side which is my 3rd great grandparents
The precentage in these DNA tests can vary over time. Mine has (23andme), because they are all partly based on the DNA tests that people send in. The more information, they get, the more the tests will vary.
interesting. The major problem with this test is that the results are coming back with nation states and not ethnicities. The country Nigeria means nothing without the breakdown of ethnicity as the depending on the ethnicity, the results can reflect tribes that spill out into Togo,Benin, Niger, Cameroun etc etc.
Your comment should be pinned.
There was a "race for Africa" by former European colonial powers so nations were drawn on a map with no regard for ethnic/tribal groups. This is why there are so many straight lines that form the borders of African nation states. So saying your DNA heritage comes from "Nigeria" or "Cameroon" in terms of ethnicity is completely meaningless.
I also saw a RUclipsr a while back whose family was from Nigeria. I think his parents are/where Igbo. When he did his DNA test he found that his ancestors came from a vast area of mainly West and Centre Africa covering many ethnic and tribal groups. His DNA heritage was far more diverse than the vast majority of black Americans who had asked him to be tested. The black Americans African DNA heritage was from up to three groups.
Selasie's %s adds up to more than 100%, as does Prince's.
At least it wasn't just me who noticed that 😆😅
I'll be honest. My MyHeritage results are so inaccurate they feel a bit like palm reading or reading tarot cards. 😂 Although they define things slightly differently, both Ancestry DNA and 23andme have results that vaguely align with the genealogy research I have completed back to 5th to 8th great grandparents on each line. They give me some trace results I can't explain, but I see the large portions of English/Scottish, Irish, and German I would expect. Meanwhile MyHeritage gives me 9% Iberian when I have no one in 200 years from that region in my family tree.
My mother is predominantly Scandinavian (Swedish) with some German and Ukrainian and my dad is predominantly Nigerian. MyHeritage somehow gave me 13% Iberian and 22% Scandinavian compared to Ancestry (43% Scandinavian) and 23andMe (45% Scandinavian). How in the hell does that make any sense? lol. On top of that, I have built family trees on both Ancestry and MyHeritage and in both trees there is nobody even near Southern Europe. How can MyHeritage claim I am 13% Iberian when I have built a tree on their site showing nobody near that region? lol
Iberian people came and lived in the UK in small numbers for 200 years. Usually as soldiers in the Roman army.
Perhaps it detected trace elements of that and misrepresented it larger because of poor methodology. Iberian people are also celts to some degree so I could see a low quality dna service conflating the two
Ancestry is horrible. They just clump people in any group. My heritage & 23 & me are much more accurate. I have similar results with my heritage & 23 which lines up perfectly with my family tree. Ancestry was off and even took away chunks of estimates then added that to a random ethnicity that had nothing to do with that region whatsoever. For example, my heritage & 23 clearly posted my southern European and South Asian was spotted 10%. Ancestry put 1% Sardinia & 3% India then erased it completely. My Indian grandmother was still alive😅
There was one where he got his results and one where his sister and nephew got results
You need to see FOIL ARMS and HOG’s skit called “the family tree is boring” - funny 😁
For me the trace amounts means the ancestor is really further in the past. As I look through the result of my Family Tree, they're all there. The results I had with 23&Me are accurate, even with the lower percentages. (well, I'm 100% European, I guess it makes things a bit easier)
I'm with you on 23&Me. It was the third test I did. And I knew for a fact that I have Native American grandparents (on both sides). Well, Ancestry and MyHeritage did not find/report it. And I won't get into the differences in percentages between the three but I will say that Ancestry and MyHeritage reported the same region but with different percentages. 23&Me...was on its own level. It just had a few regions missing that the other two had. That and the difference in percentages. I'm waiting for my FamilyTreeDNA results and for CRI test kit to arrive in the mail. And my money is on CRI being the best of the 5. 23&Me will be second place. (Did I mention I'm psychic? Lmao).
Do you let the RUclipsr know that you're reacting?
Thisnwas fun to watch. The narrator broke down significant facts about distinguishing the specifics of being west African and west European. The west just blends u up i guess 😂
Ive done Ancestry, MyHeritage and 23&Me. I'm waiting for my FamilyTreeDNA results and the CRI test kit to arrive in the mail. So far... There are major differences in the results. Ancestry & MyHeritage show the same regions/"ethnicities" but the percentages are pretty different. 23&Me found my Indigenous American (which Ancestry and MyHeritage did not) and the rest European. However, 23&Me did not find my Wales, Norway and Sweden/Denmark (lumped as Scandinavian). Ancestry has them separately, where MyHeritage has them lumped and with higher percentage. 23&Me found none of the three.
So, this far into my "experiment" I would advise anyone who wants to know their ethnicity (but really it would be nationalities) then save up money and go to a labe for a blood test. I've not done this myself but I'm sure it would be closer to accurate than these tests. Don't get me wrong, these tests are good for an overview. But for "exact"/"accuracy" I'm not convinced. For example, my mothers father was full German. And her mother Irish. Ancestry gave me 6 Germany/3 Irish... MyHeritage 15.6 (under N&W Europe) for German and Irish/Scottish/Welsh at 12.4 (Ancestry has my Scottish at 18 and Wales at 12). Where 23&Me gave me 35.5% German and 60.1 Brittish/Irish.
So...yeah. I think when people are happy with one test, more than another, it's bc it says what they want it to say. I know I have native American grandmother's/grandfather's. And I know DNA is handed down randomly. But the fact that Ancestry and MyHeritage didn't find/report it...speaks pretty loudly to me.
Your problem is your looking for exact accuracy based on European Countries that your family claimed they were from remember many these modern countries especially Germany didn’t exist 500-1000 years ago they’ve been invasions and migrations pay more attention too the continental or regional percentages between the different test
There is no nationality in genetics. You have to look at the history of the country. In Germany you have a mix of Germanic ethnicities, Slavic ethnicities and Celtic ethnicities. For example, if your ancestors come from the northwest of Germany, then you will probably get English and Scandinavian as a result. In the northeast, Eastern European, Baltic, Balkan and English and/or German/French and in the south there is a possibility that parts of the DNA will be interpreted as Irish or even Spanish. European history is complex and this is also reflected in the DNA of its inhabitants.
why does this man have such little subs
What does the sign behind you say?
Salasie's Finnish could be Ra1.
Is that the same Nigerian Prince with my millions?
Most of my own my heritage results make sense given my location and its history
69.4% english
24.1% scottish (from maternal grandad)
2.5% scandanavian (paternal grandad is from the old viking kingdom of danelaw in the uk)
1.7% eastern european
2.3% west asian
Ok so the asian and eastern european dont make any sense maybe something to do with my maternal nanna shes the only branch im struggling to do family tree for everyone else i can trace to 1700s
geeze at least let the person make a statement before you stop the video and ramble on and on and on and on saying all this stuff, we don't even know what he was going to say, I can't take it, you do it too much, I might come see again another day, you do have great content, just you talk too much in the wrong times and often sound so much like you are talking down on everyone's results. I don't think you actually are, it just seems that way somehow. but what do I know I'm not good with tone and stuff (Im autistic) ps hope this isn't considered rude, I want to be a creator too. its brave to do it no matter what.
