The Amharas are a hybrid group of people. The Semitic people from Europe-Asia crossed the red sea and mixed with the Cushitic Agew people. It shouldn't be surprising! Thanks for sharing! :)
Instead of saying Europe-Asia why can’t you just say Yemen? Ge’ez comes from the ancient Sabean musnad language. Many archeological evidence shows settlers from the southern tip of the Arabian peninsula settling in Ethiopia. It’s ok to admit it
@@user-jz2tw8fg2s yes this is true. The Yeha region has a complex with a sabean deity named Ilmuqah that is still standing to this day. Genetic studies also prove this aswell as your comment about Geez and the alphabet they use. Good information.
some how this thing is so scary. i feel like this will make me loos my identity. i would rather believe that i am 100% Ethiopian and live with that. but also it is tempting damn!!
+Samuel Befekadu LOLOL yeah I understand you!! 😂 I think we are all a bit scared especially when you have so much pride your whole life. But I think Ethiopians will always be majority East African!!
We are complex. I am African American with all sorts of ancestry: ethnically diverse people from Western and Central Africa (and more, like the small group of Malagasy people brought to America), Europe, and indigenous people here. Still, my history is authentically "African American" and I feel 100% African American. I see the diversity of our past as just another interesting part of our's and the human story, an interesting story of how we came to be. Plus every group of people has had ancestors which were once distinct. In all of my 'identities' I feel like a human, a son, an American, an ethnic African American, a person with ethnic history which is overall made up of once distinct peoples of the past, etc. This is part of the reason why I despise 'racial' thought and categorizing ethnically and culturally unique people by 'races', because it really puts a damper on the true flexibility and inter-relatedness of humanity, but that's another thing.
These tests are unnecessary for Africans. They will end up confusing you, especially if you have low understanding of how genetic tests work. Let African Americans and other lost people take the test. You are Ethiopian. That is all that matters.

I am Afram, not lost..Just saying, but I think I know what you mean. We only think we are lost because of the way we've been led to view life and history. But this is another thing too.
Heart of Africa I've never met Ethiopians but I have met tons of somalians. if I saw you on the street I would guessed that you were Somali or Yemeni. sorry for my English I speak Portuguese
Bahr wens im Portuguese but I grew around somalians. search "the modern Somali family " and jeylani bro those Somali youtubers can pass as Ethiopian or Arab.
II I know I was talking to the guy who said Somalis don't look like this girl in the video even the guy can pass as a Somali. anyways what's wrong with being dark skinned
I had almost 30% south asian and 6 % central asia . In Jamaica we have a large south Asian pop. I had some east African dna from kenya but mainly from west Africa mainly from Nigeria. Which I was happy about .
I love everything about Ethiopia I'm from jamaica. Ethiopian culture is very strong in the Jamaican rastafarian communities especially the Ethiopian emperor haile selassie
Why is she surprised about her husband and her mom who is classic Somalian - Ethiopian beautiful. Myself, I believe that Ethiopian-Somalians are some of the most beautiful people on the planet.
I'm pretty sure the reason why you guys had similar scores is because most of North East Africa are the people of Cush. Ethiopia was a name given by the greeks/romans that means "land of cush" and the Kingdom of Kush is around Sudan. In somalia, the land of punt was around there that is cush. Somalis, Ethiopians, Eritreans, people of Djibouti and Sudan are all descents of Cush, son of Ham :)
geo . zephyr actually according to Ethiopian researchers, there is no such word in Greek for burnt skin called "Ethiopios". The name Ethiopia was made up by Ethiopian people after the unification of the provinces; however though since Ethiopia was a powerful ancient civilization, the Ancient Greeks were amazed by the strength and trade intelligence of our ancestors!
Interesting. I'm ethiopian and I got 66.8% east african, 30.3% north african even though my maternal grandmother is Oromo. The likelihood of Arab ancestry from Yemen or the Arab Peninsula is low and there's a definite lack of evidence to support that. Our language/culture is simply a product of us having interacted with and being influenced by Arabian countries such as Yemen etc. I think what's more likely is that Amhara/tigrinya people descend from the Belew, or Balaw, who were mixed Beja (Northern Sudanese) and Bedouin (Southern Egyptian) people. I don't know if these people can be classified as Arab as they predate by centuries even the existence of an 'arab' identity which now is centered upon Islam. So I think it's pointless to say we're mixed with Arab. We're just Ethiopian lol :)
I agree in the end it's just Ethiopian :) Genetics doesn't change a thing... if anything it just shows how much more we are closely related than most people think!
Poupine if you weren't illiterate you'd realize the test put middle eastern populations as North African. I got North African, I got nothing to do with N.A, when it was actually Middle East.
I love watching these videos! I'm buying every kit and comparing the results on my channel ..... I have ZERO idea where my family is from. I am dark so I assume Africa but no idea. I'm so excited to explore this!!!
Your husband likely has ancestry from Yemen because 2,000 years ago there was considerable Yemeni and Ethiopian mixing. Ethiopians ruled Yemen and there was intermarriage between the two population groups. Also, you likely do have Arab ancestry, as your father's Y-Haplogroup suggests. There was considerable Arab settlement (mainly from Yemen and Egypt) in Sudan, and this was one of the primary factors of Sudan's Islamization and Arabization.
I disagree. If there was considerable wide-spread intermarriage/intermixing with Yemenis there'd be a ton of archaeological evidence to support that, but there isn't. I think we're most likely descended from mixed Beja and Bedouin people which is very ancient.
i think their was mixture with sabeans just that it wasn't as widespread as people think, like 10% only. most non-african dna in ethiopian is probably very ancient due to "back to africa" migrations.
Yes I agree there may have been limited mixture with sabeans, but it didn't have a major impact on our genetics as people may think. As you say, the ancient 'back to Africa' migrations have determined the genetic make-up of populations throughout the region which have been affected to a limited extent by the rise and fall of empires.
tlondonable Exactly the original North Africa wasn't " arabs"...That why this type of test are not really accurate for east africans or even africans in general...a lot of mis conception.
Yes, and people in north Africa know they're not Arab. Egyptian believe they are mother of Adnanite Arab since Abraham married an Egyptian and have Ishmael from her womb. Arab believe they have 3 on 3 Arab division which long to explain however biggest division is Qahtanite which is originally in Yemen many of this tribe become a kings in Arabian peninsula from Lebanon to Oman. Another influential tribe was Quraysh (branch of Adnanite), a respected tribe in Hejaz (Region between levant and yemen) which then unified Arabic languag. Tigrinya, Berber, Arab, and Egyptian are not people who don't know their origin, desert dwellers have very strong oral tradition.
you wish lmao you probably mean 12 millions speak berber and 30 millions are arabized berbers lol you should change your nickname to Arabized of Algeria that would be a lot more accurate
My results were 78% East African, 19% Middle eastern, 2% Southern European, 1% Neanderthal. They also tell you what genetic diseases you are susceptible to.
@@laconnaissance6273 are you a kid?...way before DNA it was common knowledge that the Al Habzan(habesha) in Yemen crossed over and mixed with the agaw in Eritrea n Ethiopia.
inalienable rights he is not arabic he is ethiopian, he himself says i don't know this disease there to consider you arabic. You had Arab ancestors but that doesn't make you Arab. It's like the Latin people they have European ancestors but are they European? it's just latino( not latin and half european) form south america by what they are proud to be latin, they have their own identity different from that of european people just like ethiopians who have an identity different from that of arabs and it is an african identity. In his genome, African genes largely dominate 97%. He even says he is African. Why do you say he is half Arab? Yemenis are Asian Arabs and you are African. whether you like it or not

it kind of makes sense to have a bit of Yemeni or Saudi those regions were heavily Jewish years ago and when the religion changed to Islam a lot of Christian and jewish refugees came to Ethiopia. Ethiopia was the Switzerland of the time neutral people can practice their faith in peace. I'm sure you know this but Sudan was also an orthodox Christian country especially the Nubians like Ethiopia their Pope was in Egypt Alexandria
Yes, the North African sample group IS ARAB/ Turkic in origin. Those same people invaded Africa and spread from the North Western region over to the Eastern region which includes Arabia and Yemen and even Somalia.
Historically speaking, a lot of empires were water-based as opposed to land based because of ease of transportation over water. So if you think of the empire as the Red Sea or The Mediterranean for example, it makes send how Yemen and Ethiopia/Somalia can be parts of the same "Country" at some point. Or how Alexandria and Cyprus can be too. This is the oldest part of the world we are talking about in terms of human civilisation after all.
tRaP mAcAliN 2lOoSe! Yes of course. There were Mediterraneans already in Egypt and 11,000 years ago they had a culture in Egypt called the Faiyum culture. Then a migration of mixed race (like a half/half mixed race of Caucasoid and Negroid) arrived from the northern Horn of Africa from a land called the land of Punt. They became known as the Badarians. Then the Badarians absorbed a heavy migration of Mediterraneans and they turned into predominantly Caucasoid people called the Naqada. Then, the two groups the Mediterraneans and the Naqada mixed into one with heterogeneity among them and this was before the Egyptian state formed. Examples of painted limestone statues of early Egyptians in the old kingdom show them to look like modern Egyptians. I can post examples of them if you want to see them.
Raging Thunder There is absolutely no evidence that the Ancient Egyptians started out as Nordic people. If you reread my comment, you’ll notice I said there were Mediterraneans in early Egypt. Around 9000 BC they had a culture called the Faiyum culture, that’s 11,000 years ago. This can be googled. Mediterraneans were already in Egypt before there was an Egypt and had a tremendous culture 6,000 years before the birth of Ancient Egypt (dynastic Egypt). Then, there are references to a migration of people arriving in Egypt from “the land of punt”, which by its description along with animal remains, aromatic resins and other items, that makes the northern Horn of Africa the most likely place. So in early predynastic Egypt, there was two races of people present in Egypt...Mediterraneans and Horners. But as anthropological evidence supports, the Horners became heavily mixed with Mediterranean ancestry by the late predynastic. East African Horners in the first place are a half/half mixed race of caucasoid West Eurasian DNA and negroid Sub-Saharan African DNA. So being that the Horners became heavily mixed with Mediterranean ancestry from Mediterraneans that had already been living in Egypt, they became a predominantly caucasoid Mediterranean-Puntite mixed race known as the Naqada and this predominantly caucasoid mixed race group mixed with more Mediterraneans which created people that looked like caucasoid people, but with red-brown skin. All this happen before the state of Egypt (dynastic Egypt) was born. The history of Egypt and evidence points to this. However, although many were mixed Mediterranean-Puntite as a predominantly caucasoid race with minor negroid admixture, Ancient Egyptians were a heterogeneous society so there were still some that were Mediterraneans and some that were still more like Puntites. The Mediterranean type Ancient Egyptian was demonstrated by a 2017 whole-genome DNA study of Ancient Egyptian mummies from middle Egypt that showed them to be genetically similar to Middle Easterners and Modern Egyptians. They were closer to Middle Easterners because modern Egyptians had picked up about an 8% amount of Sub-Saharan DNA from slaves brought to Egypt by the the trans-Saharan slave trade 750 years ago initiated by the Islamic world, so this caused them to slightly pull away genetically from Ancient Egyptians in principle analysis component tests, but other tests done in the study showed modern Egyptians to be the direct descendants of Ancient Egyptians and ancestrally closer to Ancient Egyptians than any world population, indicating high continuity. So that would mean that modern Egyptians are 8% less Caucasoid than Ancient Egyptians in the study so on that note I can agree that average modern Egyptians are less caucasoid than Ancient Egyptians tested in the study. However, more tests need to be done on other areas of Egypt to see if the results are consistent with the results from the 2017 DNA study or if they differ slightly or significantly due to a possible increase or decrease of ancestry. It is apparent that these types of Ancient Egyptians in the DNA study were of the Mediterranean variety of Ancient Egypt. I speculate that testing of different areas will produce results of several different racial types including Mediterraneans, Horner types and mixed Mediterranean-Horner types. The biggest mistake most people not very familiar with Ancient Egypt make is to presume all Ancient Egyptians were on one single racial type. Not even modern Egypt is on one single racial type. I’m not one for speculation; I debate better with evidence. Would you like to submit your first piece of evidence for a Nordic origin of Ancient Egyptians? I will return with an evidence rebuttal supporting my claims.
I love you guys I'm glad your taking a break because sometimes it can be stressful, I hope you guys are doing okay and may God bless you guys we still love y'all!
North African natives tend to be called Berbers altough due to islamic conquest the berber identity was kinda lost and the culture nowadays seems to be a berber/arab mix depending the country
No, the Berbers like you call them were called like that by the Greeks who called anyone different Barabaros, meaning Barbarous, a lot of us actually find it quite offensive. In our native language, Tamazight, we call ourselves Amazigh meaning ''free man'' (plr. Imazighen). The Amazigh identity mostly disappeared in Egypt (only 40K tamazight speakers), Libya (600K) and Tunisia (60K), but millions still speak the language to this day in Morocco and Algeria. As for the culture, it's still heavily Amazigh including our architecture, clothes, food, music, etc. Even when we speak arabic, Arabs from the Middle East don't understand our dialect because it contains a lot of berber words. You can google the biggest Amazigh groups: - Rif (Morocco) - Kabyles (Algeria) - Chaouis (Algeria) - Tuaregs (Niger, Algeria, Lybia, Mali) - Mozabite (Algeria) - Chleuh (Morocco) Chleuh music sounds a lot like Ethiopian music in my opinion.
I did ancestry and I'm 22% East African hunter....60% middle Eastern 13% North African and 4 person west African and I'm Ethiopian and from the Amhara people..where did you you do you DNA I heard they didn't do any research in east Africa? I'm probably African than middle eastern for sure! Plz give the info..
I don't think AncestryDNA is accurate for Ethiopians. Most East Africans I see on AncestryDNA end up being more than 50% Arab. But the opposite happens in 23andme. Most East Africans end up being majority percentage East African :-)
Heart of africa the reason why east africans score high middle eastern in ancestrydna is because their middle eastern components is accepted as middle eastern rather than african; but 23andme considers middle eastern % in horners to be african thats why both of you got high african percentages on 23ndme.
I did not get the inside joke ! Can anyone here tell me what they meant ! And yes, he is absolutely Yemeni , I am from Yemen and he looks just like my people !!
Ethiopians in general are mixed with Semitic, and both Ge'ez and Amharic languages are classified as Semitic languages. Hence, the Arab, Middle Eastern, North African element is expected.
Only a very small percentage of Ethiopians are Semitic. The Semitic gene is mostly in West Africa, who migrated from North Africa starting 4,000 years ago due to invasions. The Igbo and Yoruba Nigerians are from the ancient Hebrew Semitic gene, along with African Americans who came to America during the slave trade.
Rama Krishna, you are delusional Bantu American. There is no historical, linguistic, or genetic link between you Bantu Americans and Middle East. There is nothing Semitic about bantus whether in Africa or America. Stop the insanity.
Yeah, and you know so much, lol. Maybe you should dig deeper before you comment on things you know not of. Let me guess. You are scared to dig deeper to discover the truth because you are afraid that your lie will fall apart. No worries, because we Black people here in America and certain communities in Africa are coming into the knowledge very strongly and not only are we coming into the knowledge, we are also coming into the God power, like our Great forefathers of Moses and Enoch and Jacob and others. When you here about black men and women doing amazing things, just know that we are waking up to our great Hebrew roots. Historically, our ancestors were the power people. We still have that gene in us, the Hebrew gene. Time to awaken it again. So keep dreaming that we will never find out the truth to who we really are. Keep dreaming. LOL. The God power is coming back to our community and the truth of that power will dispel all the lies. Even the lies other people tell to themselves when they have no history to north Africa.
I'm sure you are not many things from what I perceive. No worries. The truth will win out in the end and is coming in the near future. I don't have an identity crisis. I know my true identity and more and more black people are waking up to their true identity. Watch out. With the many natural gifts God has given us black people and with more coming into their truth as being the true Hebrews of the bible, the true power people, the time is coming. All the best to you. I know you will never know what true knowledge feels like.
Africans were always traveling this earth. The Middle East was apart of Africa....My Mom is very dark, and I'm lighter than her. Most people think I come from East Africans. We need to get over colorism in America though. Most of us are mixed. But, you all are beautiful, and I'm talking about character.
Rainey Fall it was the way around the Arabs were in control of Ethiopia this is why most of the Ethiopians are close to middle eastern than sub sahran African. and middle east is not in Africa it's in Asia.
xutubeuser2 idiot when did Arabs control Ethiopia? hmmm. Ethiopia was never colonized but the Ethiopia colonized Yemen and if you are muslim you know the surah feel ( chapter of elephants) its talking when Ethiopian were the masters of Arabia so maybe they take many Yemeni concubines. the only nations threatened Ethiopians were Somali in 1552 ( futuhul habash) and Italians in 1887 and 1936 and these are non 100% Arab nations.
One race with interesting ethnic, regional, and cultural diversity. Jews ultimately share Afro-Asiatic and Semitic ancestry with Ethiopians, so not too crazy. We are all related between different layers of our history.
It's not surprising that an Ethiopian man has North African DNA. The languages of Ethiopia and North Africa are from the same Afro-Asiatic family and one theory for the origin of the Proto-Afro-Asiatic people (the common Ancestor of Ethiopians and North Africans) puts it in the Horn.
I'm a tigray amhara and I have a few relative not with blood but by marriage with englishmen,Russian...damn even my girlfriend is part Greek but the most surprising part of this was that I found out that habeshas have around 0.6% European
Y DNA J-M267 is part of J1 which is descended from Ham, Nubians are J1 and Coptics and some ancient Egyptians, Iraqis and Assyrians. Y DNA E1b1 Ethiopians are Semitic. J2 Lebanese are directly from Canaanites whose ancient bones were tested to be Y DNA J2.
You guys are great. It all depends on how long ago the North African Ancestry dates...I would guess more than likely, they're classifying him as having berber lineage because the Arab and Arab peninsula of thousands of years ago were a mixture of East and Northern African tribes. That's why people assume when they see a mixture of a East African person or any part of Africa, with the Arab region....they assume them to be the same lineage of present day Euro-Asiatic Arabs. Of course their was mixing and colonization to take into account, but in your husband's case it seems likely to be Berber.
For some reason, Ethiopians ,Somalians almost always are uniquely pretty , especially the women , every country has it's extra pretty people, but they have a unique beauty about them
There is no JEwish DNA , it;s propaganda to make Jews a race rather than a religio . Ashkinazi Jews mens from the region that Ashkinazi Jews cime from . Yemeni H=Jews are Arab with a Jewish religion .
One of the most frustrating things about being Sudanese (Nubian/Ja'ali ethnic group) is that people don't realize that we're in the same family as Eritreans, Ethiopians and Somalians. I'm always told I look Ethiopian or Somalian because people think Sudanese are Arab due to anti-Islamic propaganda in western media.
And you guys don't look like Ethiopians/Eritreans. You like a mixed of both Arab and Nubian. Take Omar Albeshir for instance he look nutting like Ethiopians.
@@collisions9484 If they are genetically the same as other Horn of Africa, and have little Arab heritage, why do you call them Arab Sudanese? I'm a Ja'ali tribe Sudanese, we are not Arab.
You guys should try ancestrydna instead because in 23andme middle eastern components in horners is considered as african rather than middle eastern so the african % in 23andme is not very accurate for horn africans.
If Ethiopians are the first people on earth, which means they are the mother of Africa, then the rest of the world follows, then how come these Ethiopians are mixed with the Arabs. Aren't they suppose to be pure Ethiopians (east Africans) because they said they are the first humans, right? And the first should be 100%, not mixed, right? Africans have been told too many lies by these White people. They keep toiling with our brains and we keep falling for it
According to historians, Northern Ethiopians and Eritreans, Northern Sudanese, Somalis somehow they have middle eastern blood. No surprise to see similar results from both of you.
Momo Eagle Wrong. Their are Arabs in those Countries and most of them are in places of power and hold a unfair advantage in these Countries. You can't just act as of the Arab invasion never happened when you speak of the matter of most Egyptians being of African descent...that is true, because Nubians outnumber the Arab, but that does not mean their is no Arab population...most of whom maintain and carry the wealth...hence Nubians fighting to put through legislation to stop the violence and racism against them! In their OWN land!
Momo Eagle I disagree with you. I know there are many Berbers in there but also so many Arabs if the king of the North African country "Morocco" that has the majority of the Berbers in North Africa is Arabian then you cannot really claim that. All the leaders that ruled in Al Andalos were Arabs plus the people that ruled some parts of Italy, Tunisia, Libya, and all of Sicily were Arabs. At least 30% of each of all the North African countries beside Egypt are Arabs as science shows.
97% African with haplogroups that are more common outside of Africa adds to the evidence that these haplogroups came from Africa. Amena's mom, what a beautiful pick.
@@irenee6064 Im convinced that almost all haplogroups that are more common in Europe and West Asia diversified in Africa before leaving. You see Africans like the Fang who are 100% African on DNA test yet they 20% of them are R1b. That is the most common lineage in European men.
let me explain this to you all about this genetic matter ... firstly the term Africa was first used to indicate only Tunisia and parts of Libya. the usage of Africa to mean the entire land mass is recent and that is part of the confusion. secondly the genetic evidence shows that north and east Africans who belong to the E haplotype are related to semites who have the J haplotype and they were the same group but split in the levant and semites (J) spread into iraq/iran (Mesopotamia) the levant and the Arabian peninsula while the E haplotype spread through north and east Africa. thirdly they are both share something other than common ancestry they also share a language connection as they both the Semitic branch and african branch are in the language group called afro-asian language family and this goes back to berber/ancient Egyptian/ Nubian languages. I hope this clears up some confusion. but of course there are tribes that are from inside the continent
You're on point, but it is not clear all of the derived E can be traced to migrants from Western Asia. The most of its diversity lies in North and East Africa. The split could have happened in the Levant, North Africa, around the Red Sea, East Africa.
Actually he doesn’t look Mexican to me, he looks more middle eastern/Arab. Makes sense cause Ethiopians and Somalis tend to be a varying mix between Eurasian and sub Saharan African in genetics!

I am Ethiopian and l like Sudani people and music My uncle's wife she is form Sudan they have 4 kids together and they are happy I swish you have happy and blessfull life I really like watching you video you both amazing keep doing what you are doing:)
Hi Amena I'm from Saudi and my grandparents from Yeme, your husband and I share both Haplogroups, but let me tell you that there are further downstream of those haplogroups that date back about 1000 years more or less from present, cuz those 2 haplogroups millions of people have them. If you wanna know more about his recent branch you should test with Family tree DNA. Our regions share very ancient history
That Dna test is not fully accurate because his haplogroup J-m267 is middle Eastern, your husband is actually 100% middle Eastern. He's not North African.
Yeah, it sort of sucks that 23andme doesn't differentiate between Berber and Arab North-African. What if someone whose familial ties lead to North Africa wanted to know if they are of Arab decent or indigenous North African? :(
spacecodes2 No, Arabs moved there after and intermixed. That is why they have arab in them. If you look at ethiopia, you'll see that it is very close to Arab countries.
yes, they existed before the arabs people, because of that such genes from the middle east are not from arabs but sabaens. Sudanese have arabs genes from the Islamic expansions
I'm Mexican and my great grandfather was Jewish I got 9% Middle East lol, but I'm mostly Spanish and Native American, but he has very interesting results! You guys should be proud, nice culture 👍🏼👍🏼
So, this guy is more Arab than most people from North-Africa based on his haplogroup and Mtdna. I would like to know what other haplogroups Ethiopians have.
@@roadrunna0075 Eritrea and Ethiopia colonized Yemen. We have no hate towards the people of Yemen, we have shared beautiful history together. You on the other hand sound very rude.
@@yuliaaaaaaaaaaa Yea that to. In fact Yemen was conquered for large parts of history by the habesha people of Eritrea and Ethiopia.. Not just during the Great Kingdom of Aksumite Empire
Five years were a long time ago. A lot has changed recently so if you retake the test they will be more specific about your HOPLO group.it will be very cool because your results are exciting.
23andme do separate the middle east and north Africa.....The first classification is the total of the 2 region and the second is the break out of the total. For example in this DNA test the total of the middle east and north Africa is 32.9 and the majority of that is North African 32.7% ...and the rest 0.2% is Middle eastern. The list of countries that you've mentioned represent the pool which include middle east and north Africa where they got results from to be able to differentiate between the 2 regions
No they don't ... go and read their reference population on their webpage and it explains it all ... they use reference DNA from many countries in north Africa and the middle east to be able to differentiate between the 2 . Middle east and north Africa is an international regional designation (MENA) so they are obliged to consider the region as one as is the case for Europe, Subsahara, Asia etc
Guys, Genesis 10:6 mentions that Ham was the preginator/father of Cush(Ethopians), Mizraim (Egyptians), Lybians and Canaan (Palestinians). Which means they descended from the same father, but now among the four children of Ham...Whom do you think Bantu/Sub-haran such as Zulu, Zimbabwean, Ghanians etc came from?
It makes sense because north African most of them have Semitic roots and also amhara tribe and alot of Ethiopian tribes as tigrnja have Semitic roots common with Arabs , don't confuse !! If u read history u will find that Arab amahra and tigrinja actually cousins came from Yemen thousands years ago
I don't understand one thing and it's really confuse me .the thing is that North African and East African share y chromosome such is e1b1b1 and it's believed it's originated from Somali ,Ethiopia .maroco got 70% of e1b1b1 which they are more close to East African at same time they consider North African middle eastern .is it because of their lighter skin color and the language they speak which is arabic . North Africans are e1b1b1 but middle eastern are not .so if he is 66 percent East African means he 66% e1b1b1 and the other hand he is 33 % North African is also means he e1b1b1 33% total is 96% of African .i don't consider mother African arab but African their origin is from East African
I gotta do this at some point. I’m thinking like 90% east Africa maybe 10% North Africa. My mom is From Gambella Ethiopia my dad is From Upper Nile South Sudan

Still, my history is authentically "African American" and I feel 100% African American. I see the diversity of our past as just another interesting part of our's and the human story, an interesting story of how we came to be. Plus every group of people has had ancestors which were once distinct. In all of my 'identities' I feel like a human, a son, an American, an ethnic African American, a person with ethnic history which is overall made up of once distinct peoples of the past, etc. This is part of the reason why I despise 'racial' thought and categorizing ethnically and culturally unique people by 'races', because it really puts a damper on the true flexibility and inter-relatedness of humanity, but that's another thing.
These tests are unnecessary for Africans. They will end up confusing you, especially if you have low understanding of how genetic tests work. Let African Americans and other lost people take the test. You are Ethiopian. That is all that matters.

I am Afram, not lost..Just saying, but I think I know what you mean. We only think we are lost because of the way we've been led to view life and history. But this is another thing too.
I think ancient Egyptians and Sudanese, Ethiopians, Eritreans, somalis are the same
Ethio Ambesa agree!
Heart of Africa I've never met Ethiopians but I have met tons of somalians. if I saw you on the street I would guessed that you were Somali or Yemeni. sorry for my English I speak Portuguese
Bahr wens im Portuguese but I grew around somalians. search "the modern Somali family " and jeylani bro those Somali youtubers can pass as Ethiopian or Arab.
II I know I was talking to the guy who said Somalis don't look like this girl in the video even the guy can pass as a Somali. anyways what's wrong with being dark skinned
Bahr wens Erm I'm Somali and I'm a little lighter than this girl. So get your facts right! Somalis come in all different shapes and shades!
I had almost 30% south asian and 6 % central asia . In Jamaica we have a large south Asian pop. I had some east African dna from kenya but mainly from west Africa mainly from Nigeria. Which I was happy about .
Yes, Ja has south asian connection due to the indentureship period. Part of my background. I’m close to 40% south asian, black and white.
Yes. South East Asia is a part of Jamaica since the 1870's.
I love everything about Ethiopia I'm from jamaica. Ethiopian culture is very strong in the Jamaican rastafarian communities especially the Ethiopian emperor haile selassie
There is a Jamaican/Rastafarian City in Ethiopia called Shashamane.
Yes, Jamaican here
Boy you guys a joke worshiping a devil like him don’t smoke so much nobody in east Africa takes you guys serious
Why is she surprised about her husband and her mom who is classic Somalian - Ethiopian beautiful. Myself, I believe that Ethiopian-Somalians are some of the most beautiful people on the planet.
True
Beautiful people are found everywhere
Beauty is subjective.
Her mom isn’t even Somali LOL
Omg my name is ameena! And I'm half sudani and half white. I just found your channel and I love it already❤️
I'm pretty sure the reason why you guys had similar scores is because most of North East Africa are the people of Cush. Ethiopia was a name given by the greeks/romans that means "land of cush" and the Kingdom of Kush is around Sudan. In somalia, the land of punt was around there that is cush. Somalis, Ethiopians, Eritreans, people of Djibouti and Sudan are all descents of Cush, son of Ham :)
Ethiopia was the kingdom of Abyssinia that at one time included Yemen. Abyssinia was a world power at that time along with Rome and Persia.
osiruskat Yeah, that was the Aksum Kingdom...
afrique veut dire noir noir veut dire afrique Lmao I'm dead you know nothing about us.
geo . zephyr ...Ethiopia is a Greek word which means (Country of Burnt faces) google it.
geo . zephyr actually according to Ethiopian researchers, there is no such word in Greek for burnt skin called "Ethiopios". The name Ethiopia was made up by Ethiopian people after the unification of the provinces; however though since Ethiopia was a powerful ancient civilization, the Ancient Greeks were amazed by the strength and trade intelligence of our ancestors!
Interesting. I'm ethiopian and I got 66.8% east african, 30.3% north african even though my maternal grandmother is Oromo. The likelihood of Arab ancestry from Yemen or the Arab Peninsula is low and there's a definite lack of evidence to support that. Our language/culture is simply a product of us having interacted with and being influenced by Arabian countries such as Yemen etc. I think what's more likely is that Amhara/tigrinya people descend from the Belew, or Balaw, who were mixed Beja (Northern Sudanese) and Bedouin (Southern Egyptian) people. I don't know if these people can be classified as Arab as they predate by centuries even the existence of an 'arab' identity which now is centered upon Islam. So I think it's pointless to say we're mixed with Arab. We're just Ethiopian lol :)
I agree in the end it's just Ethiopian :) Genetics doesn't change a thing... if anything it just shows how much more we are closely related than most people think!
Definitely! and I love the way you made that point at the end of the video :)
Ethiopis the beja people are Cushitic lol
Magdalene k the North African is Arab, that's why they put them next to each other on the results ''North African & Middle Eastern''
Poupine if you weren't illiterate you'd realize the test put middle eastern populations as North African. I got North African, I got nothing to do with N.A, when it was actually Middle East.
I love watching these videos! I'm buying every kit and comparing the results on my channel ..... I have ZERO idea where my family is from. I am dark so I assume Africa but no idea. I'm so excited to explore this!!!
Your husband likely has ancestry from Yemen because 2,000 years ago there was considerable Yemeni and Ethiopian mixing. Ethiopians ruled Yemen and there was intermarriage between the two population groups. Also, you likely do have Arab ancestry, as your father's Y-Haplogroup suggests. There was considerable Arab settlement (mainly from Yemen and Egypt) in Sudan, and this was one of the primary factors of Sudan's Islamization and Arabization.
I disagree. If there was considerable wide-spread intermarriage/intermixing with Yemenis there'd be a ton of archaeological evidence to support that, but there isn't. I think we're most likely descended from mixed Beja and Bedouin people which is very ancient.
i think their was mixture with sabeans just that it wasn't as widespread as people think, like 10% only. most non-african dna in ethiopian is probably very ancient due to "back to africa" migrations.
Yes I agree there may have been limited mixture with sabeans, but it didn't have a major impact on our genetics as people may think. As you say, the ancient 'back to Africa' migrations have determined the genetic make-up of populations throughout the region which have been affected to a limited extent by the rise and fall of empires.
Auto samaale I watched a documentary that said that Queen Sheba may have come from Sabean people!
Magdalene k this might be a stupid question but what is the 'back to Africa migrations??
And how the hell they put Arabian peninsula in north Africa !! that is the weirdest website
I honestly think there’s a deeper, more insidious reason unfortunately
North African are not all Arabs.
tlondonable Exactly the original North Africa wasn't " arabs"...That why this type of test are not really accurate for east africans or even africans in general...a lot of mis conception.
am from algeria the originals people are berbers they ar now nearly 12 millions berberians and the others are arabs ( 30 millions )
Yes, and people in north Africa know they're not Arab. Egyptian believe they are mother of Adnanite Arab since Abraham married an Egyptian and have Ishmael from her womb. Arab believe they have 3 on 3 Arab division which long to explain however biggest division is Qahtanite which is originally in Yemen many of this tribe become a kings in Arabian peninsula from Lebanon to Oman. Another influential tribe was Quraysh (branch of Adnanite), a respected tribe in Hejaz (Region between levant and yemen) which then unified Arabic languag. Tigrinya, Berber, Arab, and Egyptian are not people who don't know their origin, desert dwellers have very strong oral tradition.
you wish lmao you probably mean 12 millions speak berber and 30 millions are arabized berbers lol
you should change your nickname to Arabized of Algeria that would be a lot more accurate
N.Africa + Middle east = Arab
You look exactly like Yemenites..I am from Yemen
Kan MY Brother Yemen is Very African when it comes to the gene pool.
the African looking yemenis arent ethnic yemenis, this guy doesn't look African at all
Yep our ancestors told us that they are from Yemen and Israel.
East African is just geography.
People say we look Yemeni but I'm Somali. In other words you have some of our East African DNA we do not have your Arab DNA.
My results were 78% East African, 19% Middle eastern, 2% Southern European, 1% Neanderthal. They also tell you what genetic diseases you are susceptible to.
I like what he said with his cute accent we are pure Africans 😂😂😂😂 bless his soul 😍😍😍
HALF ARABS
inalienable rights Arabe ? He is 64% black and 32% Berber non Arab and therefore he is African not Arab.
@@laconnaissance6273 are you a kid?...way before DNA it was common knowledge that the Al Habzan(habesha) in Yemen crossed over and mixed with the agaw in Eritrea n Ethiopia.
inalienable rights he is not arabic he is ethiopian, he himself says i don't know this disease there to consider you arabic. You had Arab ancestors but that doesn't make you Arab. It's like the Latin people they have European ancestors but are they European? it's just latino( not latin and half european) form south america by what they are proud to be latin, they have their own identity different from that of european people just like ethiopians who have an identity different from that of arabs and it is an african identity. In his genome, African genes largely dominate 97%. He even says he is African. Why do you say he is half Arab? Yemenis are Asian Arabs and you are African. whether you like it or not
@@laconnaissance6273 you contradict yourself. The DNA is meant to find your genetic makeup... NOT nationality lol... They already knew that.

Hey Amena! I just discovered your channel like two days ago and I've seen a couple of your videos with your husband and I'm so glad I discovered you guys! I'm Ethiopian and it makes me happy to see you do Ethiopian cultural activities and your husband doing Sudanese cultural activities. Please keep making more videos because you and your husband's personalities are amazing and I enjoy watching your videos 💙 -Efrata
it kind of makes sense to have a bit of Yemeni or Saudi those regions were heavily Jewish years ago and when the religion changed to Islam a lot of Christian and jewish refugees came to Ethiopia.
Ethiopia was the Switzerland of the time neutral people can practice their faith in peace.
I'm sure you know this but Sudan was also an orthodox Christian country especially the Nubians like Ethiopia their
Pope was in Egypt Alexandria
Yes, the North African sample group IS ARAB/ Turkic in origin. Those same people invaded Africa and spread from the North Western region over to the Eastern region which includes Arabia and Yemen and even Somalia.
Turkic peoples are Central Asian, no relations whatever to North African.
I ‘m from Somalia love u guys😻😻😻😻
Historically speaking, a lot of empires were water-based as opposed to land based because of ease of transportation over water. So if you think of the empire as the Red Sea or The Mediterranean for example, it makes send how Yemen and Ethiopia/Somalia can be parts of the same "Country" at some point. Or how Alexandria and Cyprus can be too. This is the oldest part of the world we are talking about in terms of human civilisation after all.
Your husband is so funny, Amena!😂 I also really love the hidden message in this video. We are all deeply connected more than we think we are
Abir Ibrahim YES!!! I'm so glad you saw that 💕
Abir Ibrahim Hi Abeer, i am following your channel, love watching your videos.
If you want to know if he is 32% North African or Middle Eastern then he should take the Ancestry test.

With those eyes of hers she looks like the Egyptian drawings and the complexion
Brent Travis Egyptians are a mixture of Mediterranean and East African Horner.
Tito Torres proof?
tRaP mAcAliN 2lOoSe! Yes of course. There were Mediterraneans already in Egypt and 11,000 years ago they had a culture in Egypt called the Faiyum culture. Then a migration of mixed race (like a half/half mixed race of Caucasoid and Negroid) arrived from the northern Horn of Africa from a land called the land of Punt. They became known as the Badarians. Then the Badarians absorbed a heavy migration of Mediterraneans and they turned into predominantly Caucasoid people called the Naqada. Then, the two groups the Mediterraneans and the Naqada mixed into one with heterogeneity among them and this was before the Egyptian state formed. Examples of painted limestone statues of early Egyptians in the old kingdom show them to look like modern Egyptians. I can post examples of them if you want to see them.
Raging Thunder There is absolutely no evidence that the Ancient Egyptians started out as Nordic people. If you reread my comment, you’ll notice I said there were Mediterraneans in early Egypt. Around 9000 BC they had a culture called the Faiyum culture, that’s 11,000 years ago. This can be googled. Mediterraneans were already in Egypt before there was an Egypt and had a tremendous culture 6,000 years before the birth of Ancient Egypt (dynastic Egypt).
Then, there are references to a migration of people arriving in Egypt from “the land of punt”, which by its description along with animal remains, aromatic resins and other items, that makes the northern Horn of Africa the most likely place. So in early predynastic Egypt, there was two races of people present in Egypt...Mediterraneans and Horners. But as anthropological evidence supports, the Horners became heavily mixed with Mediterranean ancestry by the late predynastic. East African Horners in the first place are a half/half mixed race of caucasoid West Eurasian DNA and negroid Sub-Saharan African DNA. So being that the Horners became heavily mixed with Mediterranean ancestry from Mediterraneans that had already been living in Egypt, they became a predominantly caucasoid Mediterranean-Puntite mixed race known as the Naqada and this predominantly caucasoid mixed race group mixed with more Mediterraneans which created people that looked like caucasoid people, but with red-brown skin. All this happen before the state of Egypt (dynastic Egypt) was born. The history of Egypt and evidence points to this.
However, although many were mixed Mediterranean-Puntite as a predominantly caucasoid race with minor negroid admixture, Ancient Egyptians were a heterogeneous society so there were still some that were Mediterraneans and some that were still more like Puntites. The Mediterranean type Ancient Egyptian was demonstrated by a 2017 whole-genome DNA study of Ancient Egyptian mummies from middle Egypt that showed them to be genetically similar to Middle Easterners and Modern Egyptians. They were closer to Middle Easterners because modern Egyptians had picked up about an 8% amount of Sub-Saharan DNA from slaves brought to Egypt by the the trans-Saharan slave trade 750 years ago initiated by the Islamic world, so this caused them to slightly pull away genetically from Ancient Egyptians in principle analysis component tests, but other tests done in the study showed modern Egyptians to be the direct descendants of Ancient Egyptians and ancestrally closer to Ancient Egyptians than any world population, indicating high continuity. So that would mean that modern Egyptians are 8% less Caucasoid than Ancient Egyptians in the study so on that note I can agree that average modern Egyptians are less caucasoid than Ancient Egyptians tested in the study. However, more tests need to be done on other areas of Egypt to see if the results are consistent with the results from the 2017 DNA study or if they differ slightly or significantly due to a possible increase or decrease of ancestry. It is apparent that these types of Ancient Egyptians in the DNA study were of the Mediterranean variety of Ancient Egypt. I speculate that testing of different areas will produce results of several different racial types including Mediterraneans, Horner types and mixed Mediterranean-Horner types. The biggest mistake most people not very familiar with Ancient Egypt make is to presume all Ancient Egyptians were on one single racial type. Not even modern Egypt is on one single racial type.
I’m not one for speculation; I debate better with evidence. Would you like to submit your first piece of evidence for a Nordic origin of Ancient Egyptians? I will return with an evidence rebuttal supporting my claims.

North African natives tend to be called Berbers altough due to islamic conquest the berber identity was kinda lost and the culture nowadays seems to be a berber/arab mix depending the country
Pedro Mfc ahhh so basically the same story as Sudan 😅 Gotcha
No, the Berbers like you call them were called like that by the Greeks who called anyone different Barabaros, meaning Barbarous, a lot of us actually find it quite offensive. In our native language, Tamazight, we call ourselves Amazigh meaning ''free man'' (plr. Imazighen). The Amazigh identity mostly disappeared in Egypt (only 40K tamazight speakers), Libya (600K) and Tunisia (60K), but millions still speak the language to this day in Morocco and Algeria. As for the culture, it's still heavily Amazigh including our architecture, clothes, food, music, etc. Even when we speak arabic, Arabs from the Middle East don't understand our dialect because it contains a lot of berber words. You can google the biggest Amazigh groups:
- Rif (Morocco)
- Kabyles (Algeria)
- Chaouis (Algeria)
- Tuaregs (Niger, Algeria, Lybia, Mali)
- Mozabite (Algeria)
- Chleuh (Morocco) Chleuh music sounds a lot like Ethiopian music in my opinion.
I did ancestry and I'm 22% East African hunter....60% middle Eastern 13% North African and 4 person west African and I'm Ethiopian and from the Amhara people..where did you you do you DNA I heard they didn't do any research in east Africa? I'm probably African than middle eastern for sure! Plz give the info..
Saba Zz she used 23andme
I don't think AncestryDNA is accurate for Ethiopians. Most East Africans I see on AncestryDNA end up being more than 50% Arab. But the opposite happens in 23andme. Most East Africans end up being majority percentage East African :-)
Heart of africa the reason why east africans score high middle eastern in ancestrydna is because their middle eastern components is accepted as middle eastern rather than african; but 23andme considers middle eastern % in horners to be african thats why both of you got high african percentages on 23ndme.
Did you upload your raw data to DNAland? Someone recommended that to me after I did 23andme. I'm half Ethio.
+Amerethioqueen lol
I did not get the inside joke ! Can anyone here tell me what they meant ! And yes, he is absolutely Yemeni , I am from Yemen and he looks just like my people !!
Nah he looks Ethiopian
ahmed al-qutiny sorry doesn't work that way
ahmed al-qutiny because ethiopia conquered yemen "aksum" kingdom! you all have a little ethio in you :-)
Make sense !!
You can't say he is yemeni because he looks yemeni, that's disrespectful. Also if he looks many then many other ethiopians do too.
Ethiopians in general are mixed with Semitic, and both Ge'ez and Amharic languages are classified as Semitic languages. Hence, the Arab, Middle Eastern, North African element is expected.
Only a very small percentage of Ethiopians are Semitic. The Semitic gene is mostly in West Africa, who migrated from North Africa starting 4,000 years ago due to invasions. The Igbo and Yoruba Nigerians are from the ancient Hebrew Semitic gene, along with African Americans who came to America during the slave trade.
Rama Krishna, you are delusional Bantu American. There is no historical, linguistic, or genetic link between you Bantu Americans and Middle East. There is nothing Semitic about bantus whether in Africa or America. Stop the insanity.
Yeah, and you know so much, lol. Maybe you should dig deeper before you comment on things you know not of. Let me guess. You are scared to dig deeper to discover the truth because you are afraid that your lie will fall apart. No worries, because we Black people here in America and certain communities in Africa are coming into the knowledge very strongly and not only are we coming into the knowledge, we are also coming into the God power, like our Great forefathers of Moses and Enoch and Jacob and others. When you here about black men and women doing amazing things, just know that we are waking up to our great Hebrew roots. Historically, our ancestors were the power people. We still have that gene in us, the Hebrew gene. Time to awaken it again. So keep dreaming that we will never find out the truth to who we really are. Keep dreaming. LOL. The God power is coming back to our community and the truth of that power will dispel all the lies. Even the lies other people tell to themselves when they have no history to north Africa.
Rama Krishna, I can't help you with your inferiority complex and identity crisis. I am not a shrink.
I'm sure you are not many things from what I perceive. No worries. The truth will win out in the end and is coming in the near future. I don't have an identity crisis. I know my true identity and more and more black people are waking up to their true identity. Watch out. With the many natural gifts God has given us black people and with more coming into their truth as being the true Hebrews of the bible, the true power people, the time is coming. All the best to you. I know you will never know what true knowledge feels like.
Africans were always traveling this earth. The Middle East was apart of Africa....My Mom is very dark, and I'm lighter than her. Most people think I come from East Africans. We need to get over colorism in America though. Most of us are mixed. But, you all are beautiful, and I'm talking about character.
Rainey Fall it was the way around the Arabs were in control of Ethiopia this is why most of the Ethiopians are close to middle eastern than sub sahran African.
and middle east is not in Africa it's in Asia.
LOL! Arabs were NEVER in control of Ethiopia!
sam sam you can keep lying to yourself but your history doesn't lie.
even your alphabet is adopted from south arabian.
You trying to tell me about my history?!? LOOOOOOOL!!!! Where are you from?
xutubeuser2 idiot when did Arabs control Ethiopia? hmmm.
Ethiopia was never colonized but the Ethiopia colonized Yemen and if you are muslim you know the surah feel ( chapter of elephants) its talking when Ethiopian were the masters of Arabia so maybe they take many Yemeni concubines.
the only nations threatened Ethiopians were Somali in 1552 ( futuhul habash) and Italians in 1887 and 1936 and these are non 100% Arab nations.
I have his Dad's Haplogroup, J-M267, also and my family is from Spain with Jewish ancestry....go figure.
Ryan Gomez Lol!
andulesian arab
aren't we all the same species
Baraa Ballal yes 1 human race 😃
One race with interesting ethnic, regional, and cultural diversity. Jews ultimately share Afro-Asiatic and Semitic ancestry with Ethiopians, so not too crazy. We are all related between different layers of our history.
Too adorable. Great unifying message at the end.👍
Mimi Thank you!!!
It's not surprising that an Ethiopian man has North African DNA.
The languages of Ethiopia and North Africa are from the same Afro-Asiatic family and one theory for the origin of the Proto-Afro-Asiatic people (the common Ancestor of Ethiopians and North Africans) puts it in the Horn.
I'm a tigray amhara and I have a few relative not with blood but by marriage with englishmen,Russian...damn even my girlfriend is part Greek but the most surprising part of this was that I found out that habeshas have around 0.6% European
The dumbest comment ever. You don't even know what these terms refers to.
That is false how is it only one group of people were affected
No, north Africans are amazigh , natives to Africa . If they mention north african its the amazigh ppl. Not the arab
most of middle eastern j-m267 gene. nice results congratulations
Y DNA J-M267 is part of J1 which is descended from Ham, Nubians are J1 and Coptics and some ancient Egyptians, Iraqis and Assyrians. Y DNA E1b1 Ethiopians are Semitic. J2 Lebanese are directly from Canaanites whose ancient bones were tested to be Y DNA J2.
You guys are great. It all depends on how long ago the North African Ancestry dates...I would guess more than likely, they're classifying him as having berber lineage because the Arab and Arab peninsula of thousands of years ago were a mixture of East
and Northern African tribes. That's why people assume when they see a mixture of a East African person or any part of Africa, with the Arab region....they assume them to be the same lineage of present day Euro-Asiatic Arabs. Of course their was mixing and colonization to take into account, but in your husband's case it seems likely to be Berber.
Biggerstoriessmallerminds what nonsense in all in all we africans by the way you have to proud what you are
@Gas Enjoyer... what about somalians
For some reason, Ethiopians ,Somalians almost always are uniquely pretty , especially the women , every country has it's extra pretty people, but they have a unique beauty about them
Love you guys so much. The absolute perfect couple.

There is no JEwish DNA , it;s propaganda to make Jews a race rather than a religio . Ashkinazi Jews mens from the region that Ashkinazi Jews cime from . Yemeni H=Jews are Arab with a Jewish religion .
Yea He is Amhara we Amhara people are Samtic people 🤗
Yes u right
evil people
One of the most frustrating things about being Sudanese (Nubian/Ja'ali ethnic group) is that people don't realize that we're in the same family as Eritreans, Ethiopians and Somalians. I'm always told I look Ethiopian or Somalian because people think Sudanese are Arab due to anti-Islamic propaganda in western media.
The Ja'alin tribes are Afro-Arabs. They are not similar to other East Africans.
And you guys don't look like Ethiopians/Eritreans. You like a mixed of both Arab and Nubian. Take Omar Albeshir for instance he look nutting like Ethiopians.
Arab Sudananse have a little Arab admixture not enough to change there phenotype. Other than that they are genetically the same as Horn Africans.
@@collisions9484 If they are genetically the same as other Horn of Africa, and have little Arab heritage, why do you call them Arab Sudanese? I'm a Ja'ali tribe Sudanese, we are not Arab.
@@Ahmed-ty1ko they have been heavily Arabized culturally and by the government. A lot have a bit of Arab admixture though.
You guys should try ancestrydna instead because in 23andme middle eastern components in horners is considered as african rather than middle eastern so the african % in 23andme is not very accurate for horn africans.
They are 30% Amazigh, amazing
J-M267 is Arab haplogroup, what is wrong with this website!!

Thank you!!!
Beduins are nomadic groups which the Arabian Peninsula was consisted of mostly beduins at one point
My god your mother is gorgeous! Now I see where you got it from maashallah. May god bless you both with a beautiful child aswell
If Ethiopians are the first people on earth, which means they are the mother of Africa, then the rest of the world follows, then how come these Ethiopians are mixed with the Arabs. Aren't they suppose to be pure Ethiopians (east Africans) because they said they are the first humans, right? And the first should be 100%, not mixed, right? Africans have been told too many lies by these White people. They keep toiling with our brains and we keep falling for it
where does it say they are mixed with arabs
The Axsumite Kingdom present day Ethiopia once stretched as far as present day Yemen. Sharing some DNA with middle-eastern’s is actually normal.
Ethiopians are a hybrid race. They are Natufian (Semitic) mixed with African
Yep but they deny that
According to historians, Northern Ethiopians and Eritreans, Northern Sudanese, Somalis somehow they have middle eastern blood. No surprise to see similar results from both of you.
please Egypt , Libya , Tunisia , Algeria , Morocco , Mauritania those nations are North African race we are NOT ARABS
Momo Eagle Wrong. Their are Arabs in those Countries and most of them are in places of power and hold a unfair advantage in these Countries. You can't just act as of the Arab invasion never happened when you speak of the matter of most Egyptians being of African descent...that is true, because Nubians outnumber the Arab, but that does not mean their is no Arab population...most of whom maintain and carry the wealth...hence Nubians fighting to put through legislation to stop the violence and racism against them! In their OWN land!
can you define what do you mean by arab?
lol u are all Arab even North Africans think they are more Arab then African. Most Africans don't even consider u guys real Africans tbh
Momo Eagle of course yall are not arabs you all are north africans we are afticans ❤️
Momo Eagle I disagree with you. I know there are many Berbers in there but also so many Arabs if the king of the North African country "Morocco" that has the majority of the Berbers in North Africa is Arabian then you cannot really claim that. All the leaders that ruled in Al Andalos were Arabs plus the people that ruled some parts of Italy, Tunisia, Libya, and all of Sicily were Arabs. At least 30% of each of all the North African countries beside Egypt are Arabs as science shows.
97% African with haplogroups that are more common outside of Africa adds to the evidence that these haplogroups came from Africa.
Amena's mom, what a beautiful pick.
that is what i was thinkin. sometimes it doesnt mean they were our ancestors, we are their acestors. I hope that made sense
@@irenee6064 Im convinced that almost all haplogroups that are more common in Europe and West Asia diversified in Africa before leaving. You see Africans like the Fang who are 100% African on DNA test yet they 20% of them are R1b. That is the most common lineage in European men.
let me explain this to you all about this genetic matter ... firstly the term Africa was first used to indicate only Tunisia and parts of Libya. the usage of Africa to mean the entire land mass is recent and that is part of the confusion.
secondly the genetic evidence shows that north and east Africans who belong to the E haplotype are related to semites who have the J haplotype and they were the same group but split in the levant and semites (J) spread into iraq/iran (Mesopotamia) the levant and the Arabian peninsula while the E haplotype spread through north and east Africa. thirdly they are both share something other than common ancestry they also share a language connection as they both the Semitic branch and african branch are in the language group called afro-asian language family and this goes back to berber/ancient Egyptian/ Nubian languages. I hope this clears up some confusion.
but of course there are tribes that are from inside the continent
You're on point, but it is not clear all of the derived E can be traced to migrants from Western Asia. The most of its diversity lies in North and East Africa. The split could have happened in the Levant, North Africa, around the Red Sea, East Africa.
Actually he doesn’t look Mexican to me, he looks more middle eastern/Arab. Makes sense cause Ethiopians and Somalis tend to be a varying mix between Eurasian and sub Saharan African in genetics!

This is so interesting I totally wanna do this test!!! But great video love you look beautiful ❤️

I am Ethiopian and l like Sudani people and music My uncle's wife she is form Sudan they have 4 kids together and they are happy I swish you have happy and blessfull life I really like watching you video you both amazing keep doing what you are doing:)
What an adorable couple. And your mom is very beautiful. You too may be siblings....lol Great video, and thanks for uploading it.
Hi Amena I'm from Saudi and my grandparents from Yeme, your husband and I share both Haplogroups, but let me tell you that there are further downstream of those haplogroups that date back about 1000 years more or less from present, cuz those 2 haplogroups millions of people have them. If you wanna know more about his recent branch you should test with Family tree DNA. Our regions share very ancient history
"North African" in the results refers to the first people in North Africa, not post-Arab expansion.
97% African 🙌🙌🙌🙌 pure African
Have you gotten an update or tried other DNA companies to see there is a difference in the results ? Nice video.
Ethiopan people is only spical in world because we are born like that

That Dna test is not fully accurate because his haplogroup J-m267 is middle Eastern, your husband is actually 100% middle Eastern. He's not North African.
Yeah, it sort of sucks that 23andme doesn't differentiate between Berber and Arab North-African. What if someone whose familial ties lead to North Africa wanted to know if they are of Arab decent or indigenous North African? :(
Wait! if life was started in africa how is arab in there blood. wouldn't that phenotype always existed in africa?
spacecodes2 No, Arabs moved there after and intermixed. That is why they have arab in them. If you look at ethiopia, you'll see that it is very close to Arab countries.
spacecodes2 Ethiopia/Eritea used to have an Empire in Ancient times. They conquered parts of Arabia and Yemen.
They existed before the arabs.
yes, they existed before the arabs people, because of that such genes from the middle east are not from arabs but sabaens.
Sudanese have arabs genes from the Islamic expansions
Can someone point me to a video where someone gets 90-100% north African? Curious to see what they look like
I am from Yemen and your husband looks Yemeni..wow!
Cool results.. quite pure in a sense
Love you my East African guys and you are down to earth lovely couple.
Jeremiah 13:23 ESV /
Can the Ethiopian change his skin or the leopard his spots?
Forget DNA 😀
I'm Mexican and my great grandfather was Jewish I got 9% Middle East lol, but I'm mostly Spanish and Native American, but he has very interesting results! You guys should be proud, nice culture 👍🏼👍🏼
Dat Boi ...Jewish means pertaining to you can't be Jewish.
Stillwill 78 What?
@@stillwill7811 he did not claim that he is. His great-grandfather was. case closed.
So, this guy is more Arab than most people from North-Africa based on his haplogroup and Mtdna. I would like to know what other haplogroups Ethiopians have.
The mystery of Yemen, Yemen 🇾🇪 was kingdom of Ethiopia 🇪🇹
you are fake
@@roadrunna0075 Eritrea and Ethiopia colonized Yemen. We have no hate towards the people of Yemen, we have shared beautiful history together. You on the other hand sound very rude.
Addis ፍቅር Yemen was never the kingdom of Ethiopia, in fact Ethiopia Used
to rule over Yemen back when Queen Sheba was in power!
@@yuliaaaaaaaaaaa Yea that to. In fact Yemen was conquered for large parts of history by the habesha people of Eritrea and Ethiopia.. Not just during the Great Kingdom of Aksumite Empire
El Ricko Jãmes why are insulting Yemen he’s not even from Yemen 🤷🏻♂️
Five years were a long time ago. A lot has changed recently so if you retake the test they will be more specific about your HOPLO group.it will be very cool because your results are exciting.
MashAllah you guys are really cute !!
That's what happens when you get Sudanese and Ethiopians. perfect match
I realised the trend, east africans are almost never mixed with west africans but rather north africa.
You are so stunning! Super big eyes
23andme do separate the middle east and north Africa.....The first classification is the total of the 2 region and the second is the break out of the total.
For example in this DNA test the total of the middle east and north Africa is 32.9 and the majority of that is North African 32.7% ...and the rest 0.2% is Middle eastern.
The list of countries that you've mentioned represent the pool which include middle east and north Africa where they got results from to be able to differentiate between the 2 regions
23andme groups Saudi Arabia and Yemen under North Africa.
No they don't ... go and read their reference population on their webpage and it explains it all ... they use reference DNA from many countries in north Africa and the middle east to be able to differentiate between the 2 .
Middle east and north Africa is an international regional designation (MENA) so they are obliged to consider the region as one as is the case for Europe, Subsahara, Asia etc
The North African part is definitely Yemeni (South Arabian).
Yemen is no where near North Africa, it lies in the south of the Arab Gulf.
@@dr.apollo4226 In ancient times Yemenis migrated to North Africa
Raging Thunder maybe, although it was mostly northern peninsular Arabs who migrated to the Maghreb.
Guys, Genesis 10:6 mentions that Ham was the preginator/father of Cush(Ethopians), Mizraim (Egyptians), Lybians and Canaan (Palestinians). Which means they descended from the same father, but now among the four children of Ham...Whom do you think Bantu/Sub-haran such as Zulu, Zimbabwean, Ghanians etc came from?
ethiopian are e1b1b they are the real e1b1b native dna group . arabs are Haplogroup J tho
The guys father's haplo is J
Eastafrican here from kenya
He looks like an Arab
J-M267 is the common haplogroup in Arabs
It makes sense because north African most of them have Semitic roots and also amhara tribe and alot of Ethiopian tribes as tigrnja have Semitic roots common with Arabs , don't confuse !! If u read history u will find that Arab amahra and tigrinja actually cousins came from Yemen thousands years ago
This guys accent is hilarious haha. Do more videos with him.
I don't understand one thing and it's really confuse me .the thing is that North African and East African share y chromosome such is e1b1b1 and it's believed it's originated from Somali ,Ethiopia .maroco got 70% of e1b1b1 which they are more close to East African at same time they consider North African middle eastern .is it because of their lighter skin color and the language they speak which is arabic . North Africans are e1b1b1 but middle eastern are not .so if he is 66 percent East African means he 66% e1b1b1 and the other hand he is 33 % North African is also means he e1b1b1 33% total is 96% of African .i don't consider mother African arab but African their origin is from East African
I think that North East Africa background come from North Africa and Middle East mostly
Beautiful people, your mom is beyond stunning.
Why do we let "them" draw the maps. "they" don't determine who we are.
I gotta do this at some point. I’m thinking like 90% east Africa maybe 10% North Africa. My mom is From Gambella Ethiopia my dad is From Upper Nile South Sudan
Wonder what the inside joke about Yemen was
How does this make any sense when his paternal and maternal haplogroups are arabian origin. How does the breakdown then give 60% east african
