These reveals underscore the vast difference between ethnicity and nationality. Ethnicity is in your DNA; nationality is about where you were born, where you live.
He wants to make a point and push forth the agenda that "we are all mixed" , no monogenous person exists. That's why the representative gets her to believe she was "broadly Western European" and she(actingly) feels astonished. Nothing really surprising.
just shows how big a part environment plays in shaping our personalities ;) "I act british" "that's because you grew up around people that act that way too"
I'm an American from Texas but both my mom's and dad's side hail from England as far back as the records go. I was shocked to learn that I'm only 8% English and 8% Irish, 56% West European, and 21% Scandinavian. Also, my dad's lineage is G2A haplogroup which is most predominant in the Caucasus region. What the hell?
Amazing right! I am French Canadian. I didn't do a DNA test myself, but French Canadians on average get 30% British DNA, 30% Iberian peninsula, 30% broadly North-Western European (a region mostly above France), and 10% of other regions. That would make the average French Canadian more British than you according to the DNA test. My own personal theory is that it actually makes sense if you look at the map. "British" encompasses the northern coast of France, i.e. regions like Normandy and Brittany. Over 20% of our ancestors came from Normandy. Another 20% from Britany and other regions in and around Paris. Many of our ancestors also came from La Rochelle and the surrounding area (that's awfully close to Spain). As for broadly North-Western European, France was always a composite population with ties to the Dutch, obviously immigrants from Scandinavia into Normandy; North Germany isn't inconceivable. I find that the history actually matches the results because the DNA detected is from much older migration patterns than we think. And of course, the French from the western coast must have had plenty of social and commercial contacts with the British isles over the centuries, so there are probably a lot of British wives represented in those results. It's still pretty amazing and mind-boggling that you could have less British DNA than us. That has to be a hard revelation for French Canadian nationalists. :-)
Hi, Gabby. Thanks for sharing. It's very interesting to see what the DNA results show. Were you surprised at your results, or were you expecting to have those ethnicities?
This test can nail down race and usually a general region (like Northern Europe), but it can NOT tell you what you ethnic makeup is. I took the Ancestry DNA test an as an American of Southern heritage (ancestors have been in North America about 300 years) it came back 83% Great Britain and 10% Europe West. I uploaded the results to DNA.LAND and they refined them and gave me 100% "West Eurasian" with 85% Northern Europe. They don't even bother with Irish, Scandinavian, Great Britain, etc... because they cannot say with any degree of certainty that's what you really are. After that I did some research on the discrepancies and found that you will get multiple ethnicity estimates from all the major testing companies. They will never agree because its impossible to know for sure. Basically Ms. Healey IS English and British. The populations of that region of Europe have mixed so much over time that one can live in England for many, many generations and not come back "British" according to these tests.
Jeff Morse Actually, no DNA can "nail down race" as "race" is just a socio-political term or as anthropologists and geneticists have stated a "folk taxonomy" system. All ancestry dna tests simply demonstrate is match your alleles to people from various parts of the world, nothing more and nothing less. All human beings have the exact same genes (ACGT); the different frequency or expression of these genes (ie., mutations) give rise to different ancestral groups. The lay person only "see" race because they attach huge meaning to insignificant physical and genetic differences...eh voila!
001islandprincess -- Humans share most of their DNA with apes, But the genetic distance between humans and apes is much greater than the genetic distance between humans. Similarly, humans share most of their DNA with.members of different races. But the genetic distance between people from different races is much greater than between members of the same race. So much so that people have a much higher rate of organ transplant rejection when the donor is from a different race than from their own. Mixed race people also have higher rates of genetic diseases and mental illness. That's because their genomes contain genes that didn't evolve to work together. The differences that the lay person "sees" are not insignificant.
this is kinda misleading to say the least cherry probably is right in saying that she is 100 percent English it's just the English population is heavily related to the Dutch german and Northern french populations as well another test for example with 23andme or family tree dna might say she's 50 percent great Britain or maybe more all it has told us is that cherry is about 99percent northern European .
I would love to get an ancestry DNA test. I have so many questions about my family, so many rumours about certain relatives. I've always been keen to learn more about my family history especially my DNA as it can unfold so many secrets and connect you to places you wouldn't of thought. Is there a way that I could be sponsored to do a similar video.
To find out who you really are, you need to have both the DNA tests (for a generalised result) and the documentary evidence, which will give you a "nailed down" result. Cherry will be 100% British, but she is also everything else that her DNA is telling her. In any case, what is "British" anyway, other than a cultural stereotype Same with any other cultural stereotype. However, if you want to really make yourself think about ancestry, go match your DNA with the ancient DNA databases. That's where you enter "spin out" territory. That's where things become interesting.
So funny, she was born in GB and believed she is British. I am born in the USA and ancestry says I am 72% Great Britain. Not forn there but I am more English than she is...too funny. But I believe I have a lot of Scot included plus Viking in the GB numbers. Oh and 10% Irish due to my 2x great grandfather is Irish a Reagin.
now i dont know about my ancestors but my parents tell me that i have Filipino blood which is true since my parents were born in the Philippines (dad from butwan, bisaya, and my mother is from mindinow) so yeah but im expecting some Spanish or Indian blood since Spaniards came to the Philippines so yeah thats what im expecting if i take a test on my DNA
It does not matter on the country you're born in. I was born here in england, but that doesn't mean I'll be 100% English. I'm 1/4 Scottish. My mum's half Scottish, my granddad is full scottish.
If anyone is sees this and know about DNA my DNA is 50% South Central Asian - would that mean to have 50% South Central Asian one of my parents would have to be full asian?
At what point do these tests go back to? I mean do they cut off at like a thousand years...? Because we're all African, from about 3 million years back. So they must refer to a specific recent point on our timeline.
actually her results was not suprising at all concidering the people's migrations over the centuries in that part of the Europe, also the methodology in all these tests is a bit shady, especially when they're saying specifically like 'you are x percentage French, Belgian etc..." - these are completelly inaccurate categories concidering the hypothetical time period which is taking into concideration.
Lara Laursen OK then input on this if you will ? My great niece got DNA done . My sister and I HAVE different father's g niece has almost exact DNA as I. Also I show 31% native American . How does that happen could both parents have been just a fraction native or in your idea on this how could this happen. I was told my mother s father was half native and half Irish
Margaret Rodriguez if your parent is half half you could inherit 25/25, 12/38 or even 1/49.. Most of the time it's around a quarter of each but it doesn't have to be.. That's probably why you got 31%
So now it's PC to say that what you are is determined by your genetic origins rather than by the culture/country you live in? Isn't it legitimizing to say to a black person who's born in UK and feels British that he's not because of his DNA?
I'm sorry for being both: blond(e) and specially Portuguese. With a little more of luck you could be at least intelligent and Spanish. Lo siento mucho ;-)
Susana Nunes Yeah because Portuguese are white. They are usually darker than say Norweigan or other lighter Europeans but it is not that uncommon to have lighter features.
@@danix6452 Darker features ??? Dark or light is color the skin. The Portuguese do not have black features because they are not black. They are white with tanned skin. They do not look like the Nordics because of: geographical area hours of sunlight, melanime. I guess you understand what I'm talking about, right ?
without him defining what his definition of british is these genetic tests are not much use. For example, could it be that she has lots of anglosaxon blood but he is choosing to classify this as german instead of british? would he consider welsh to be iberian seeing as they came from there 10,000 years ago? In which case according to him there would be no such thing as british and all of the current population of britain would be classed as german, danish, etc! etc!
latin refers to latin america.. ( mexico-central-south america ) spanish people are not latin..so i'm confused why you say french are latin as well. Iberian peninsula would be hispanic not latin. Spanish, french and english are in the latin language family, but that is different when you are talking about geographic locations..
Enlgish is not a Latin language, it is a germanic one, and we are not talking about geography, but about culture/heritage/identity/history. And the only reason you consider Latin Americans Latin is because in the 19th century French decided that all Europeans descendents of Roman heritage and culture, all people from former Roman colonies, were to be called Latins. And to make sure Ibero Americans, and more particularly, Hispanomaericans (which is what they had always been called), didn't revolt against French rule, since they had invaded Spain and the Spanish empire would soon be under French control, they decided to name them "Latin Americans", and the territory belonging to Spain, Portugal and France in the American continent, was named Latin America (by the French as well, obviously), so they could identify with the Latin European culture. The real, original, and to be fair, the only Latins, are the Italians, in the first place, the ones from the region of Latium (I think you can guess how they call themselves), and then the rest of Italians, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Romanians. Actually, Latin Americans are not Latin, at all, they are Latin AMERICANS. The Latins are the Europeans. And the ones who came out with this term and applyed it to they themselves in the first place before using it to refer to everyone else with Roman/Latin culture were the French. So sweety, Iberians are Hispanic AND Latin. Why do you think the Iberians are Hispanic in the first palce? Who do you think called the Iberians "Hispanics"? It was not native people from the Peninsula, that's for sure. What language do you think you are translating from when you say things like "Hispanic", "Spanish", "Spain", "Hispano"?. Here is a guess: Latin. If the French or Iberians aren't Latin, no one is, and certainly, not the Americans, who are as Latin as Nigerians are Anglo Saxons. When Nigerians become Anglo Saxons and Hitians become Franks, then you can say that Latin Americans are Latins but French and Spanish are not.
Surname is Healey and she's surprised at being even a bit Irish.
Some people don't know their surnames origin. Obviously. Nothing wrong with not knowing either. My surname 'Morris' is Scottish. I didn't know that until someone else told me.
Really made heraelf look stupid Healy is a very very common Irish name
That's just what I came on here to write. Can't believe she doesn't know Healey is Irish!!
@@cockertoo8920 Me too bit to late by far
If it was O'Healey I would immediately think Irish 😂 otherwise English for me.
Remember everyone you meet knows something you don't xx
Hardly surprising that a mix of German, French, Irish and Spanish looks like a British person. As it's a mix of Celtic and Germanic.
Results start at start at 3:40
Stacy W cheers
Stacy W thank you :)
I took myheritage DNA test and it did a great job of saying regions in percentage. A couple of the results were mind blowing. I was very happy with it and they told me I have several 2nd and 4th cousins, gave names and countries where they live.
I am from the United States and AncestryDNA says I am 93% Great Britain.

right away when i saw her i just knew she was irish she just looks irish
18 separate ethnic groups is the most he's seen? Really?
I have 20....do I win? LOL
I've always enjoyed Cherry's tv appearances "on the box". I think she's gorgeous, funny and intelligent, ( in a quirky way ). She's just....GREAT !.
Her test results look pretty British to me. I'm surprised the Ancestry representative doesn't explain it more clearly.
He wants to make a point and push forth the agenda that "we are all mixed" , no monogenous person exists. That's why the representative gets her to believe she was "broadly Western European" and she(actingly) feels astonished. Nothing really surprising.
POSH British for certain. A lot of West German(Norman) and maybe Irish from Anglo Irish landowners.
just shows how big a part environment plays in shaping our personalities ;) "I act british" "that's because you grew up around people that act that way too"

West european includes England My mom was born in England we have German and Irish to
Her surname was a give away for her being abit Irish. Don't understand people who don't know where their surnames come from
She descends from aristocrats, so yeah she's probably more French/Germanic.
One look AND I KNEW she had French in her: Refined eyes, high cheek bones... I was NOT as surprised as she was.
I got 35% British DNA on my test at AncestryDNA. FamilytreeDNA said 0% British. Hmmmm who do i believe.....
I'm very similar to Cherry. I'm 79% North Western European-French, Dutch, German and 21% English
Hi, Gabby. Thanks for sharing. It's very interesting to see what the DNA results show. Were you surprised at your results, or were you expecting to have those ethnicities?
How remarkable. Now you've made me so curious.
"Everyone loves Irish people!" At least nowadays, maybe not always in the past. 🤔
I don't like Irish people.
Why so surprised? Britain is an island. It's only obvious that the locals would have migrated there
