Western Africa seems to be the highest concentration of where a lot of our greatest musicians come from and if you go further then you need to seek knowledge where the people of west Africa originated from it gets deeper my brother and sistas..

Pretty interesting.... I wonder how much it is to get this done? Seems expensive because it's DNA testing not just tracing your ancestors through papers (birth certs/death certs/etc)!
yeh, but the DNA tests can sometimes only show mothers side side , via mithocondira dna only the maternal line, unless you check the paternal side, u only get some side of it, n what does it matter? i think its importatn because african americans have their ancestory denied, but they are mixed with europeans, nativce american, arawak , indegenous of the south america etc etc , we are persons at the end of the day, n this african identity, they also have an american identity, identity is vain
mandingo is a corruption of french "mandingue" which a corruption of manding (the language the "mande" people speak) and from "mande" (the name of the people) and "mandinka" (which means the place of the mande people). the mande are part of what used to be known as the malian empire. the empire was split into 8 different countries colonized by the the french.
Some of these DNA tests look like they are ending where they begin, people have to read about the history and about events of the past, Somewhere are their ancestors really from? I’ve watch a few of these DNA videos lately, Now I’m wondering, Why is it, they are saying that a lot of people’s DNA is being trace back to the area/land Sierra Leone, Liberia, where the British took the X-enslaved who fought with them to after the revolution war? Lord Dunmore's Proclamation announcing that any slaves who ran away and fought for the British army would be freed when the war was over”. Were relocated to Jamaica, Nova Scotia, and Britain. In1772. In 1787, the British government settled 300 former slaves and 70 white prostitutes on the Sierra Leone peninsula in West Africa. Within two years, most members of this settlement had died from disease or warfare with the local Temne people. However, in 1792, a second attempt was made when 1,100 freed slaves, mostly individuals who had supported Britain during the American Revolution and were unhappy with their postwar resettlement in Canada, established Freetown under the leadership of British abolitionist Thomas Clarkson. During the next few decades, thousands of freed slaves came from Canada, the West Indies to the Sierra Leone Colony. www.history.com/this-day-in-history/freed-u-s-slaves-depart-on-journey-to-africa

It's time Black people start giving respect to the name "Mandinke" and stop making fun of it by saying "Mandingo".
It’s not “FAY-Lah” it’s “FEH-Lah” ......🤬
