Why? The test is to check your haplogroups. If your maternal haplogroup is European then that's still information you didn't know before. Is it now trendy to hate on Europeans?
@Michael Michael Please don’t come at me with that attitude, you do not know me! I’m not hating on anyone! I already know my European back ground. I’m also aware of how it got there. Reason why I don’t want to spend 400.00 on an African Ancestry test that’s going to tell me what I know. I want to know about my African people/tribe and if that makes you uncomfortable tuff.. Stop acting oppressed like the world is against Europeans all the sudden.
You’d be spending more money but if you wanted to be sure of African results on your mothers side you could do a 23AndMe test which would give you a maternal Haplogroup. If it is L then you’d definitely want to take an African Ancestry test.
@@melanieblue2 How do you know how your European got there? Did you go back in history to watch your ancestors conceptions? I'm acting oppressed because I think people are hating on Europeans? How would that have anything to do with me? Are you assuming I'm European? Your haplogroups will tell you nothing about YOUR ethnic background. It may reveal a tiny percentage of one of your distant ancestors background

3 other lines?? He has thousands of lines or in other words lineages in his family. African Ancestry specializes in testing your direct maternal lineage, your mother’s mother’s mother’s mother’s lineage etcetera unto a foremother that passed down the genetic signature existent on his mitochondria, also your direct paternal lineage your father’s father’s father’s lineage and so forth unto the forefather that passed down a specific genetic signature by way of his y chromosome. These test results represent about 2 to 3 percent of your genetic make up. They have their benefit, but you get faaaaaaa’r more bang for your buck when you test with Ancestry DNA or 23 and Me. These two companies specialize in autosomal(admixture)dna tests revealing unto you the random 50 percent of each of your parents genetic make ups you receive: you never receive everything your parents are composed of, solely a random recombination of genes from both 50/50. Not only this, what is great about Ancestry DNA and 23 and Me which are cheaper than African Ancestry, is that they give you access to their database filled with hundreds of dna cousin matches they’ve matched you with. What is great for a black American you can find distant African cousins, and you can message them. These African cousins will be representative of your ancestral origins.

A little known fact is that European women especially indentured from the British Isles had also had children with African men in the early Colonial period although they were heavily discouraged from doing so . There were often fined or jailed if they tried to marry after the 1680’s.
A lot Bantus came from Egypt & beyond Ethiopia to central Africa an spread west, igbos & Yorubas dont consider themselves Bantus but share bantu dna, E1b1a Haplogroup is the largest dna gene pool in Africa, so it’s very possible to look East African but born west Hutus & Tutsi’s is a prime example some Tutsi have Ethiopic features because of mixing with Cushitic people & Arabs, & other African people such as Nilotic Pygmies & Khoisan’s We can look like whoever but not share the same dna & be born on any coastal parts
First thing is, take a test that admits your haplogroup. They share you must have african haplogroup. It's on the website. Second, if you have already taken a test they receive the test and it can be used to determine your ethnic group. It's a bit cheaper than swabbing and sending it out again. My mother's maternal side are H11a2. Once I found that out, wasn't going to take the test 👌 You don't need to take a test if your mother's is European. You or your father would take this patriclan test to find the ethnic group.
Do not fret man! It means a European woman had a baby with an African (perhaps when the Moors invaded Europe). About 8% of Maternal results are non African & 35% of Paternal results are non African as well. Also your ancestors might come from the Northern African region which is mixed between African, European & Arabian.
Darnell Clayton I doubt it’s the scenario you’re speaking of. White indentured servant women had children with black enslaved men in the USA. Wanda Sykes the comedian is descended from a white female indentured servant of Scottish ancestry that had a child with a black slave.
Know one can tell you how to feel about it. I really like your last comment. You will be waiting a long time for nothing..lol You still took the right test the one your dad took just tells you what we already know West Africa. Blessings on your journey to your truth
I understand man. I get it. I tested with living DNA and family tree DNA, and both of them say my y haplogroup is European. When I tested it with living DNA back in 2023 it came back European and I thought it was a mistake, but they mentioned it wasn’t. I was like OK. So I decided to test with family tree DNA and see if I would get a different result. A couple of weeks later my results came back and my YDNA haplogroup was European. At this point, I was like OK so my y haplogroup is European. I thought about testing with African ancestry but only for my maternal side. I’m hoping if I do decide to test with African ancestry I hope it come back African for my mom's side at least.
I love AA but there is a story that I wont share here. But both my tests from them came back wrong. I knew what the truth was according to my father. I tested with 3 other companies and they were all identical and agreed with what my father said. I recommend that you submit your markers to CAAGRI in Virginia for a more accurate assessment. Google it. Center for African American Research Institute. I love AA though. Treat yourself right.
Even if the MatriClan test pinpoints your mtDNA to Europe, it doesn’t mean you’re not African. It’s just the beginning of your journey. You can still trace the rest of your African lineages with help from your father (paternal grandfather and paternal grandmother) and your mother’s dad and male relatives (maternal grandfather and his maternal grandmother). I initially had concerns about my MatriClan test being traced back to Europe despite having close to 100% Sub Saharan African DNA and it was because 2 percent being traced back to Northwestern Europe. It wasn’t until I was invited by African Ancestry to be part of the Live Day Reveal and I found out my results are traced back to the Tuareg people in Mali today. Right now, I am currently awaiting my results from the PatriClan test and it’s a relief my Y chromosome is African in origin and a E1b1a variant.
As far as the other test I taken Ancestrydna and 23 and me I like Ancestrydna the most out of the two. I Ancestrydna results were a lot more detailed imo than my 23 and me results. But the good thing about 23 and me is I found out that my maternal haplogroup is African I just don’t know what Ethnic group since 23 and me or Ancestrydna doesn’t tell you that information. I would say if you can afford it take both test every once in awhile both test are on sale but if you wanna just take one Ancestrydna has a lot of useful information as far as ancestors even though you have to pay to view certain information about your Ancestors.
Ive known I have european ancestry on my Moms side but im not sure where itll show up in the testing. Im waiting on my results now, thank you for sharing
You have four sets of grandparents so I can see how that would happen. It would mean your mom's line on your mom's side was white but her father could come back African. Something I'm afraid of if I test my grandma's line having learned new information. Hopefully you do an updated video
Same here bro... my mother's family has the Y European chromosome too... I'm basically 60% African and 40% European and same goes for my father but in reverse. His Y chromosome is E-m4254 (East Africa) and my mother is L3e1e (East Africa). I think I'm a Israelites?
@Mama Africa Wow no way! We are a match according to my May 2020 African Ancestry results. It said the same thing... Tsogo, Ateke, and Kita people living in Gabon. I have tried to research information on Gabon as it relates to slavery in America but it's very limited however, I have discovered I match to Colonial era French rule Saint-Domingue (now,Haiti) free people of color (Louisiana creole).
Marcsxx - I did the MariKlan side first thinking I was playing it safe , gran pa was very dark complexion and got a disappointing result and then did the PatriKlan side, Gran gran on this side was very light skin green eyes, and got devastation. Thank goodness I had already done Ancestry and 23& Me, I'm 82% African just do not know what ethnic specific group. A pox on the enslaver/rapist houses eternally
African Ancestry does a comprehensive breakdown of African ethnic groups. Not European ones, this is why you didn't get a European breakdown, that is not the data base in which they identify specific European groups.
I've seen people who got ancestry test and found out their dad isn't their dad so learning that your maternal side has European ancestry isn't bad. I can totally see African in you
Sorry about your disappointment, however, that means your paternal line mostly likely is African, and since most of Africa is Patrilineal, then you are more African than those whose maternal ancestry is only African.
I don't know if there's any actual basis to this but I've not seen a person with a "flat" nose have anything but an African ancestor on the maternal side. His is pointy. There are tribes in Africa with pointy noses though.
We hope you know that the Eritreans are a mixed race people. Just looking at this young man's face, we can see Europe and/or non-African ancestry written all over his face. People need to stop doing all this searching and then get upset that they don't get "expected" results.
Why do people get these tests first? Get a 23andMe when they are on sale and find out what you are first. I know I'm E1b1a7a and L3e2a1b1. So I know both my lineages are African before I drop $300 on a test costing African Ancestry about $25 to have done. And there are too many coward men taking matriclan tests. As a man you are what your father is. You're not passing on any mtDNA to your children. Matirclan is for women. Patriclan should be the first thing a man deals with.
Mother: L3e1e Father: E-M4254 Me: 60% African 40% European I have the Y European chromosome on my mother's side and a European mtDNA on my father's side.
I've done my test since taking originally viewing this video.. I have a little more insight into the tribes. I think you look like the Hausa people in Northern Nigeria.... Especially since they tend to have a mix of Berber ancestry which is Northern Africa. So your ancestor might have been Berber on your maternal side. You should do the Patrilenal test....it traces your Y chromosome. I got Senegambia in my results. So lots of tribes Mandinka, Mende & Temne, Kru and Fula...
See,thats why i'm very reluctant to do dna.i would be extremely disappointed to find european and/or indian ancestry,as in north/central/south aboriginal,with a low to no african ancestral lineage.i would cry,loose significant amounts of sleep to the point of emotional panic with an excessive need for therapy.yes,i would need some hours with a professional speaking softly to me prescribing heavy pharmacuticals for the psychosis i would immediately develope.why?because i would have a strong sense of robbery,being i come from slave stock.total melt down.yeah,thats what would happen to me😣in such a delicate black situation filled with massive let down.like most descendents of black slave stock i just want to be black and black only.i love the skin i'm in.
12Sisters 1 bride- Wow you made me laugh so hard because I just found out the same as Kent and I'm feeling some PTST ,I really needed that laugh , to stop the tears
@@lennarthomas 4?? You have way more than just 4 lines. Every generation you go back you have twice as many ancestors. No, you do not only have 4 lines lol
I was listening to your message and clearly understand how the result changes your ability to control your previous narrative as to explaining your allegiance to the ethnic group that you were either told you were part of or were led to believe that you belonged to. In the USA the idea of white supremacy back in the late 1400s didn’t exist. It was common back then for all types of people to understand who was educated or was rich intelligent or was strong or was weak or intelligent or unskilled or skilled or multi language or bilingual or speaking one language, the world had religion and that appeared to be more significant rather than skin color…However early Colonial slavery made a distinction in those 13 original colonies that race meant that skin color would be the determination or authoritative and dominance and acceptance and ownership of others based solely on color…This was the invention of the so called white race. As there is only a human race of the world we now see evidence that civilization story has a set of markers where our DNA tell of our past human journey… So do not get it twisted you are part of the great human race and as much as you are one of the classic categories of humans there can be no confusion about who you are. Only those who believe this fake doctrine of white supremacy or superiority to world dominance are going to be fooled into belief that your ethnicity makes better or worst than another human being… when they are saying the first this or that to have a position they are not talking DNA they are talking white supremacy mumbojumbo .. As we are surely coming to realize that it was not only the Atlantic Slave trade that caused some DNA strains to be in evidence in Poles and Slavs and Russians and other East even Europeans today even in it .2 or.3 percent. Of course as the world has created the narrative that “white people isre this or that above others” we have these example of DNA that ca not be erased from them nor can it be erased from you… many try to hide it some flaunt what might not be obvious to others as they claim their alliance to say the Proud Boys although they themselves look nothing like Caucasian. Perhaps that example is too extreme but what I am saying is you are human and if you caught up in how white or black you are you are falling for the white supremacy line of divisiveness. There is L first man first woman point of origin and subsequent migration moments of generations that followed. It goes back 100s of thousands of years ago and it does not have a fucking thing to do with skin variables and religion and or some eugenics theories. There is only one human race…
@@SpiritReadz African ancestry is not a proper DNA test. It only tests your paternal haplogroup aka your father's father's father etc and your maternal haplogroup aka your mother's mother's mother etc. So though your father has mostly African ancestors, his father's father's father's father's line (his direct paternal line) leads back to a European man who possess a y chromosome common in Spain. If you want to do a DNA test that can break down your overall ethnicity then get him to do ancestry DNA or 23andme. These paternal haplogroups and maternal haplogroups testing tell you next to nothing about your ethnicity
@@SpiritReadz Keep in mind they are interesting tests to have if you're simply looking to know more about your direct maternal line or direct paternal line. For instance if your surname is O'Neill, you might be interested to know if it actually leads back to the Irish king Niall of the nine hostages (through an unbroken male line) from which the name is derived from. So the tests has its uses, but out of the millions and millions of ancestors you have from a thousand years ago, it only tells you about 1 of those ancestors, if you do the maternal and paternal testing it only tells you about 2
The positive news is that the relationship between your white female ancestor and black male ancestor was probably not forced or coerced. The same often cant be said for the reverse where the white ancestor was a male. Maybe they even loved each other.
Bruh, truth be told most interracial relationship contact in the US even during those time was not as "rapey" as people have been lead to believe. Think about it, WHY during colonial times would they make so many antimesciegination laws, unless it was happening? Additionally, even the oldest marrige certificate in the US is an interacial one. (florida I think)
That's Arab. Your Paternal ancestor could have been a descendant of one of the Prophets Companions or The Prophets' Daughter Fatima who settled in North West Africa. There are plenty of them in places like Northern Senegal Mali and Mauritania. You shouldn't be devastated by the paternal side. There was a group of husbands and wives, who were busted trying to sell some Fulani slaves and ended up sold into slavery. They ended up in South Carolina and were from the Trarza region of Mauritania. They worked and purchased their freedom. Eventualy they sued to be released from the governance of the 1740 Negro act which was inclusive of the "Ancient Berbers" and their descendants. They won the case and settled in South Carolina but there's no paper trail with surnames that they may have chosen. They were known as the "Moors of Sundry." A lot of ahistorical quacks like to misuse their story to claim being Moroccans. However, they were Trarza and lived across the Senegal border which was the area known as Futa Tooro. Everyone taken into slavery was not 'black." If you need sources give a shout.
What's most important is to remember there's NO SUCH THING as "mixed". According to scripture you ARE what your father is Numbers 1:18..so your paternal lineage is what matters. Not so much your maternal. So don't get down bro
Bro you probably don’t know this but majority of black people who do dna testing it’s traces back to Israelite tribes in Africa who are the descendants of the ancient israelities not Jewish people.
You better get another test. I love AfricanAncestry but they got both of my tests WRONG. I wont put their business out but they are using the Mormons database which have very low numbers of African markers. Take it somewhere else
adukeomawale What do you mean they got both of your tests wrong? They specialize in testing direct maternal and direct paternal lineages. Do you know what those are? Your direct maternal lineage is your mother’s mother’s mother’s mother’s going as far back to an unbroken line of female progenitors passing down their genetic signatures to their male and female children by way of their mitochondria. Your direct paternal lineage is your father’s father’s father’s father’s lineage etcetera going as far back to an unbroken line of male progenitors passing their genetic signatures down to their male descendants on their y chromosomes. These direct lineages represent about 2 to the 3 percent of your genetic make up. Looking at your username, if you are perhaps African(Yoruba?) from a specific ethnic group, seeing you are from that ethnic group there is no guarantee that the foremother(direct maternal lineage) or forefather(direct paternal lineage) that passed down their genetic signature were in fact apart of the same ethnicity you currently identify with. These tests can go back hundreds of years. Admixture has definitely occurred among African ethnic groups.
I took about 7 dna company test (had a female cousin that we share same maternal line to pay her money to take african ancestry test) = everything came up around same info for all the test(african ancestry maternal ancestor ethnic group matched timeframe of what ancestor was on 23andme ) only things different with all the test was my % (88% african to 7% european being lowest to 97% african -2% european being my highest)..i dont know how people get twisted up info in their test but sorry to hear that

I said the same thing!
Wow another non-Eritrean/Ethiopian claiming others look like us. Gtfo
Or elitrean
Dont despair my dear brother. You are exceptionally beautiful person. You do look Ethiopian Egyptian mix.
I love AA but there is a story that I wont share here. But both my tests from them came back wrong. I knew what the truth was according to my father. I tested with 3 other companies and they were all identical and agreed with what my father said. I recommend that you submit your markers to CAAGRI in Virginia for a more accurate assessment. Google it. Center for African American Research Institute. I love AA though. Treat yourself right.
Why is it that it’s always non-Ethiopians claiming other people look Ethiopian?
Miko the Great 🤣🤣
Even if the MatriClan test pinpoints your mtDNA to Europe, it doesn’t mean you’re not African. It’s just the beginning of your journey.
You can still trace the rest of your African lineages with help from your father (paternal grandfather and paternal grandmother) and your mother’s dad and male relatives (maternal grandfather and his maternal grandmother).
I initially had concerns about my MatriClan test being traced back to Europe despite having close to 100% Sub Saharan African DNA and it was because 2 percent being traced back to Northwestern Europe.
It wasn’t until I was invited by African Ancestry to be part of the Live Day Reveal and I found out my results are traced back to the Tuareg people in Mali today. Right now, I am currently awaiting my results from the PatriClan test and it’s a relief my Y chromosome is African in origin and a E1b1a variant.
As far as the other test I taken Ancestrydna and 23 and me I like Ancestrydna the most out of the two. I Ancestrydna results were a lot more detailed imo than my 23 and me results. But the good thing about 23 and me is I found out that my maternal haplogroup is African I just don’t know what Ethnic group since 23 and me or Ancestrydna doesn’t tell you that information. I would say if you can afford it take both test every once in awhile both test are on sale but if you wanna just take one Ancestrydna has a lot of useful information as far as ancestors even though you have to pay to view certain information about your Ancestors.
Yeah, I may wait until the holidays and try to catch one of the kits on sale.
Vicky, have you found any African relatives yet?
hasani carter yeah two they are Igbo. Yeah
Looks like you need to do the autosomal dna t e st and not the direct lineage African Ancestry.
Ive known I have european ancestry on my Moms side but im not sure where itll show up in the testing. Im waiting on my results now, thank you for sharing
mtDNA (H) is also seen in North African so you may have North African mtDNA than just European.
They are mixed too just like HOA.
You have four sets of grandparents so I can see how that would happen. It would mean your mom's line on your mom's side was white but her father could come back African. Something I'm afraid of if I test my grandma's line having learned new information. Hopefully you do an updated video
yes my mother's side came back European so now im testing my father's mom's side
Same here bro... my mother's family has the Y European chromosome too... I'm basically 60% African and 40% European and same goes for my father but in reverse. His Y chromosome is E-m4254 (East Africa) and my mother is L3e1e (East Africa). I think I'm a Israelites?
@Mama Africa Wow no way! We are a match according to my May 2020 African Ancestry results. It said the same thing... Tsogo, Ateke, and Kita people living in Gabon. I have tried to research information on Gabon as it relates to slavery in America but it's very limited however, I have discovered I match to Colonial era French rule Saint-Domingue (now,Haiti) free people of color (Louisiana creole).
You’re not an Israelite ffs. You are a conquered west African
Is there a part 3? What is your genetic makeup?
Brotha, I am so sorry. Heart goes out to you. Super lot to process. Love you, bruah.
Bolll...I know that's right...that package lol
you look ethiopian.
Another non-Ethiopian claiming other people look Ethiopian
Should’ve did your paternal side, u tried to play it safe lol
I got maternal and paternal a just in case lol. Then I’m gonna get dad to take the maternal one too lol.
Marcsxx facts bro 😂
Darian Williams was spending $600 worth it?
Marcsxx - I did the MariKlan side first thinking I was playing it safe , gran pa was very dark complexion and got a disappointing result and then did the PatriKlan side, Gran gran on this side was very light skin green eyes, and got devastation.
Thank goodness I had already done Ancestry and 23& Me, I'm 82% African just do not know what ethnic specific group. A pox
on the enslaver/rapist houses eternally
I really what to do this test but I'm scared I'll get european aswell.
If you're african american then there is a high chance that u will have european anctesry but like a fifth of it.
@@FashionBIRD404 haplogroup don't have to do nothing with race many white people have one that is very common in africa lol. but yeah
@@imissedthejoke1276 No, not many white people have that.
African Ancestry does a comprehensive breakdown of African ethnic groups. Not European ones, this is why you didn't get a European breakdown, that is not the data base in which they identify specific European groups.
I've seen people who got ancestry test and found out their dad isn't their dad so learning that your maternal side has European ancestry isn't bad. I can totally see African in you
Really??? We can't.
@@sandraatkins2539 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I’m not surprised by his result lol
You didn’t even have to say Egypt for me to know. You have that Ethiopian/Egyptian look
Sorry about your disappointment, however, that means your paternal line mostly likely is African, and since most of Africa is Patrilineal, then you are more African than those whose maternal ancestry is only African.
Which one is identity the patriclan or matriclan
Can ask you a question?
i didnt expect that. usually the mom's line is African. im sorry. No disrespect.... i wonder if thats why your mom didnt take it????
I don't know if there's any actual basis to this but I've not seen a person with a "flat" nose have anything but an African ancestor on the maternal side. His is pointy. There are tribes in Africa with pointy noses though.
it's all a roll of the dice!
So if you took the test your mom would get the same results on her matriline....
Nah bro my girlfriend is from Eritrea and you look like her brother
Eritreans are not pure african...They are miced with Arab, jew and or Italian...
Why can’t you get a girlfriend of your own ethnicity you trick?
We hope you know that the Eritreans are a mixed race people. Just looking at this young man's face, we can see Europe and/or non-African ancestry written all over his face. People need to stop doing all this searching and then get upset that they don't get "expected" results.
Why do people get these tests first? Get a 23andMe when they are on sale and find out what you are first. I know I'm E1b1a7a and L3e2a1b1. So I know both my lineages are African before I drop $300 on a test costing African Ancestry about $25 to have done. And there are too many coward men taking matriclan tests. As a man you are what your father is. You're not passing on any mtDNA to your children. Matirclan is for women. Patriclan should be the first thing a man deals with.
Zeiram Black
Unless they have taken a 23andme test, and their paternal Haplogroup is european. Then them taking a matriclan test makes sense.
23 and me is not for me.
Mother: L3e1e
Father: E-M4254
Me: 60% African 40% European
I have the Y European chromosome on my mother's side and a European mtDNA on my father's side.
Lol man I like your mindset! All men should have that!
hasani carter I’m confused what do you mean?
Part 2 Bro they lied to you
😂😂😂😂😂
You still look more black than European. I would like to see your whole breakdown with percentages.☺
We was all touched back then
Not me both my lineages is Bantus & Yoruba & Fulani
@@Im.Etheric are you black American or not?
I've done my test since taking originally viewing this video.. I have a little more insight into the tribes. I think you look like the Hausa people in Northern Nigeria.... Especially since they tend to have a mix of Berber ancestry which is Northern Africa. So your ancestor might have been Berber on your maternal side. You should do the Patrilenal test....it traces your Y chromosome. I got Senegambia in my results. So lots of tribes Mandinka, Mende & Temne, Kru and Fula...
they been doing these test for a few years, they didn't make any mistakes with his test
I hope you will take more tests to find the results of your other lines ❤
He's mixed and didn't even know it lol that's so cool he looks mixed 👍
It is what it is
Shocking!
You are Turudbe Fulani you share their phenotype.
He do look like my homeboy who found out he is Fulani (Cameroon)
you can be a kemetic pharoah . kemet is a lifestyle.
My maternal line is haplogroup d that's Native American
Haplogroup D is also found in Asia between The Sentinelese people
See,thats why i'm very reluctant to do dna.i would be extremely disappointed to find european and/or indian ancestry,as in north/central/south aboriginal,with a low to no african ancestral lineage.i would cry,loose significant amounts of sleep to the point of emotional panic with an excessive need for therapy.yes,i would need some hours with a professional speaking softly to me prescribing heavy pharmacuticals for the psychosis i would immediately develope.why?because i would have a strong sense of robbery,being i come from slave stock.total melt down.yeah,thats what would happen to me😣in such a delicate black situation filled with massive let down.like most descendents of black slave stock i just want to be black and black only.i love the skin i'm in.
12Sisters 1 bride- Wow you made me laugh so hard because I just found out the same as Kent and I'm feeling some PTST ,I really needed that laugh , to stop the tears
Ngone Aw Did you only test 1 line? You know you have 4 in total correct?
@@lennarthomas 4?? You have way more than just 4 lines. Every generation you go back you have twice as many ancestors. No, you do not only have 4 lines lol
@@michaelmichael8314 Yes you have more than 4 lines but initially you have only 4 first lines with all 4 of your grand parents.
You cracked me up girl! I know how you feel though! I needed that laugh! 😂🤣😂
Dang, bro. You don't get no reparations. Haha!
Im tryin not to be a skeptic but common sense sayd it would be SO EASY to fake these results. They could tell you ANYTHING.
I was listening to your message and clearly understand how the result changes your ability to control your previous narrative as to explaining your allegiance to the ethnic group that you were either told you were part of or were led to believe that you belonged to. In the USA the idea of white supremacy back in the late 1400s didn’t exist. It was common back then for all types of people to understand who was educated or was rich intelligent or was strong or was weak or intelligent or unskilled or skilled or multi language or bilingual or speaking one language, the world had religion and that appeared to be more significant rather than skin color…However early Colonial slavery made a distinction in those 13 original colonies that race meant that skin color would be the determination or authoritative and dominance and acceptance and ownership of others based solely on color…This was the invention of the so called white race. As there is only a human race of the world we now see evidence that civilization story has a set of markers where our DNA tell of our past human journey… So do not get it twisted you are part of the great human race and as much as you are one of the classic categories of humans there can be no confusion about who you are. Only those who believe this fake doctrine of white supremacy or superiority to world dominance are going to be fooled into belief that your ethnicity makes better or worst than another human being… when they are saying the first this or that to have a position they are not talking DNA they are talking white supremacy mumbojumbo .. As we are surely coming to realize that it was not only the Atlantic Slave trade that caused some DNA strains to be in evidence in Poles and Slavs and Russians and other East even Europeans today even in it .2 or.3 percent. Of course as the world has created the narrative that “white people isre this or that above others” we have these example of DNA that ca not be erased from them nor can it be erased from you… many try to hide it some flaunt what might not be obvious to others as they claim their alliance to say the Proud Boys although they themselves look nothing like Caucasian. Perhaps that example is too extreme but what I am saying is you are human and if you caught up in how white or black you are you are falling for the white supremacy line of divisiveness. There is L first man first woman point of origin and subsequent migration moments of generations that followed. It goes back 100s of thousands of years ago and it does not have a fucking thing to do with skin variables and religion and or some eugenics theories. There is only one human race…
Now I’m scared for my results lol. I really don’t want my ancestral DNA to be from those people they are abhorrent people as a whole
My dad took this and he got Spain ! On ancestry dna he is over 90% African ! I don’t get it 🙄
What's not to get?
That he is over 90% African and the African Ancestry DNA test did not pick up on any of that. Can you explain?
@@SpiritReadz African ancestry is not a proper DNA test. It only tests your paternal haplogroup aka your father's father's father etc and your maternal haplogroup aka your mother's mother's mother etc. So though your father has mostly African ancestors, his father's father's father's father's line (his direct paternal line) leads back to a European man who possess a y chromosome common in Spain. If you want to do a DNA test that can break down your overall ethnicity then get him to do ancestry DNA or 23andme. These paternal haplogroups and maternal haplogroups testing tell you next to nothing about your ethnicity
@@michaelmichael8314 I wish I knew that before purchasing !
@@SpiritReadz Keep in mind they are interesting tests to have if you're simply looking to know more about your direct maternal line or direct paternal line. For instance if your surname is O'Neill, you might be interested to know if it actually leads back to the Irish king Niall of the nine hostages (through an unbroken male line) from which the name is derived from. So the tests has its uses, but out of the millions and millions of ancestors you have from a thousand years ago, it only tells you about 1 of those ancestors, if you do the maternal and paternal testing it only tells you about 2
So you're like the first non black black guy??
are you y dna J ?
🤔🤨🤭 The look on your face, is like having a working Air condition unit in Florida in the middle of the summer, "Priceless" 😂🤣😂
Get your package 📦
Ouch
The positive news is that the relationship between your white female ancestor and black male ancestor was probably not forced or coerced. The same often cant be said for the reverse where the white ancestor was a male. Maybe they even loved each other.
Bruh, truth be told most interracial relationship contact in the US even during those time was not as "rapey" as people have been lead to believe. Think about it, WHY during colonial times would they make so many antimesciegination laws, unless it was happening? Additionally, even the oldest marrige certificate in the US is an interacial one. (florida I think)
It’s all gross tbh 😂
That's Arab. Your Paternal ancestor could have been a descendant of one of the Prophets Companions or The Prophets' Daughter Fatima who settled in North West Africa. There are plenty of them in places like Northern Senegal Mali and Mauritania. You shouldn't be devastated by the paternal side. There was a group of husbands and wives, who were busted trying to sell some Fulani slaves and ended up sold into slavery. They ended up in South Carolina and were from the Trarza region of Mauritania. They worked and purchased their freedom. Eventualy they sued to be released from the governance of the 1740 Negro act which was inclusive of the "Ancient Berbers" and their descendants. They won the case and settled in South Carolina but there's no paper trail with surnames that they may have chosen. They were known as the "Moors of Sundry." A lot of ahistorical quacks like to misuse their story to claim being Moroccans. However, they were Trarza and lived across the Senegal border which was the area known as Futa Tooro. Everyone taken into slavery was not 'black." If you need sources give a shout.
Get a female family member to take it
Mom, sis, auntie, cousin.
shebeatsbeauty ! Ha?? Why?? That one hundred percent doesn’t matter. He has his mother’s mitochondrial dna which is what they tested.
shebeatsbeauty that will change nada
TOTAL waste of money bro.
Chaostheoryrulz - To know truth is never a waste of money, it's priceless even if it is not the truth we desire
Ngone Aw You are 100% correct, I like that saying you go there. The truth is needed even if you don’t like the truth it’s a necessity!
♥♥♥♥👌👌
There were black Europeans.
Where and when?
Read the Jews of Spain and Portugal and the Inquisition,
There are other old books.
What's most important is to remember there's NO SUCH THING as "mixed". According to scripture you ARE what your father is Numbers 1:18..so your paternal lineage is what matters. Not so much your maternal. So don't get down bro
You probably have og Jewish ancestry. Like on some biblical stuff. You look like a lot of black arabs Ive seen and that have a lot of Jewish ancestry
Bro you probably don’t know this but majority of black people who do dna testing it’s traces back to Israelite tribes in Africa who are the descendants of the ancient israelities not Jewish people.
You better get another test. I love AfricanAncestry but they got both of my tests WRONG. I wont put their business out but they are using the Mormons database which have very low numbers of African markers. Take it somewhere else
adukeomawale What do you mean they got both of your tests wrong? They specialize in testing direct maternal and direct paternal lineages. Do you know what those are? Your direct maternal lineage is your mother’s mother’s mother’s mother’s going as far back to an unbroken line of female progenitors passing down their genetic signatures to their male and female children by way of their mitochondria. Your direct paternal lineage is your father’s father’s father’s father’s lineage etcetera going as far back to an unbroken line of male progenitors passing their genetic signatures down to their male descendants on their y chromosomes. These direct lineages represent about 2 to the 3 percent of your genetic make up. Looking at your username, if you are perhaps African(Yoruba?) from a specific ethnic group, seeing you are from that ethnic group there is no guarantee that the foremother(direct maternal lineage) or forefather(direct paternal lineage) that passed down their genetic signature were in fact apart of the same ethnicity you currently identify with. These tests can go back hundreds of years. Admixture has definitely occurred among African ethnic groups.
You are confusing autosomal dna testing vs direct lineage testing with African Ancestry does. They aren't the same.
I took about 7 dna company test (had a female cousin that we share same maternal line to pay her money to take african ancestry test) = everything came up around same info for all the test(african ancestry maternal ancestor ethnic group matched timeframe of what ancestor was on 23andme ) only things different with all the test was my % (88% african to 7% european being lowest to 97% african -2% european being my highest)..i dont know how people get twisted up info in their test but sorry to hear that
Smh
I’m late but don’t think about color. Your human and compatible with all human species. Lastly. Europeans were brown before they got pale. Peace and love
