As a Latin American, this is embarrassing af.
Fr, help
Yes they're ignorant as hell
@@dineyashworth8578why are they ignorant?
As an educated 100% Puerto Rican, this is embarrassing and I do not claim some of these kids... No matter how dark you are, we will have European in your blood. No matter how light you are, you will have African in your blood. We are mixed from all corners of the world. And there's nothing wrong with that. 🤦🏻♀️
My half-sister's dad is Puerto Rican, with light skin & green eyes, but quite African facial features & hair. She inherited his green eyes & has extremely curly hair, but her DNA results only indicated 3% (West?) African ancestry. We were both surprised at such a low percentage, but hey, that's just how recombination works! Appearances aren't everything. She had a much higher percentage of indigenous Mezoamerican (like 12%!), which also surprised us both.
MY father is from Mexico, & I've been TOLD that his mother had a lot of indigenous ancestry, while his father was quite European (red hair, green eyes), but since HIS father (my father's grandfather) was named Ismael, I'm guessing there will be some North African (Moorish?) in there too. Only one way to find out, right? Gotta take that test!
I fully expect to be predominantly European, but if I wind up having a lower percentage Mezoamerican than my half-sister, it's gonna shake me to my core; challenge everything I've always believed about myself!
And if I'm more African than her...🤯
It could happen.
Puerto Ricans! 🙄
EDIT: There's also Irish by way of Jamaica on our mother's side!
omg same
And Taino blood too. The average Puerto Rican is about 65% European, 20% African and 15% Native American.
😘
What % are you of European, African, Tainos depends what region of Puerto Rico you are. These people do not sadly read about their history they sound so childish 😢😂😂😂
So, the guys who call themselves "Latinos" (European culture/Italic ethnicity) are surprised of having European ancestry?! Where did they think the term "Latino/Latin" comes from? Africa?
Love it. Hahahahahaha.
A negative reaction in having European ancestry is a common theme in this video. I also don't understand how they cannot understand the difference between ethnic ancestry, i.e. Native American, European, African, and nationality. How can they not know that the Americas were populated by Native Americans, then waves of immigration of Europeans, Africans, etc.
It's fashionable among leftists.
It's offensive to be honest. Imagine it was the other way around...
I wouldn't say that the Africans willingly migrated here... more like brought here
@@whynot5698 I get why some of them might feel that way, especially those from the United States. Interracial relationships weren’t allowed/well-perceived in many parts of the Americas and since enslaved black women of the time had no rights, it’s safe to assume many biracial children of that time weren’t the product of consensual relationships.
Kind of ironic considering that in Latin America, having more European ancestry is thought of as making one “higher class”. ‘White privilege’ really does exist in Latin America and European-looking people do tend to be overrepresented in finance, law, and politics in these countries
The disdain people have for their European ancestry irritates my soul.
Gen Z Latino-American kids being brainwashed into hating their “colonizer” ancestry has gotten old.
It is not disdain, it is racism
Consider that people feel uncomfortable about European ancestry because of the inconceivable horrors they inflicted on the world . Assuming you’re American you were taught a little bit which you should use a muscle to try and summon the memory . You must not know about exactly how terrible the Spanish were in Mexico and Central America etc it would serve you to spend a couple hours or days doing research on it . When people feel disgust it’s because of those images and stories , not because they’re just dying to hate any output from their european ancestry . We don’t have to speculate on our specific ancestors intentions or part in genociding colonizing and settling because we know the material effects centuries later . If you refuse to reeducate or reframe and decide to act lazy insensitive or ignorant just keep to yourself before you hurt someone
The Spanish and Portuguese are the WORST colonialists in the history of colonialism. Educate yourself
@@fablb9006 racism wouldn’t exist without Spanish and Portuguese, after all they made SIGNIFICANT contributions to the race system we use today. The Spanish colonial caste system has black people at the very bottom. Very inhumane people, but I wouldn’t expect and American do be educated
I got a message from someone who said I was her second cousin....she was adopted and did not know her parents... and I am happy to say, I have found her father. It turns out her genetic half sibling was my cousin (who had his page set to private and had been not on ancestry for 4 years) But it turned out when she gave me his name, I knew him...and in fact he lives in the apartment directly above mine....small world. The Childrens Aid Society here in Ontario Canada have sent her the forms to get her mothers name. Always room for one more cousin in the family.
That's so wholesome! I love that you helped her find some of her family. Also wow what a coincidence that your cousin/her half brother (I'm assuming you didn't know he was your cousin) lived right upstairs. Cool! Good for you guys
The anti European sentiment is weird. My dad’s family is Dominican and Italian. My aunt took an ancestry test and got most European ancestry and it was very much expected. Just be proud of all of you.
There is a reason for that. What’s there to be proud of that your ancestors were 🍇🍇🍇 by a European?
I think she just wants to be more connected to her roots by her appearance. Relax. White looking people are just as shocked when they have any type of African in their gene
This is called racism. This racism is not only tolerated but pushed by these « left »
Mexican guy being surprised he has 44% European ancestry is funny tbh. of course he has. most of them have
I was surprised that the Mexicans were surprised to have European ancestry. My fathers family is Mexican they all know they have Spanish ancestry and Native ancestry all Mexican do unless they are 1) decendents of recent immigrants (like my cousin's wife who all four of her grandparents are German). 2) from a small isolated village or rural area were they are indigenous. Also, there is a pocket of Mexicans with African ancestry on the Gulf Coast from escaped slaves.
On average, people of Mexico have about 4 percent African ancestry according to 23 and Me. Those coastal communities in the South (both along the Gulf and the Pacific) show higher concentrations.
The Mexican guy was probably pretending he didn't know about his Spanish ancestry. Where did he think he got his skin tone from? He was as pale as the P.R. guy. Smh🙄
@@151-xm Mexicans always deny their European ancestry due to having a complex. I don’t understand why and it’s annoying
@@151-xm and also given he is from Chihuahua ,the closer one gets to the USA ,the more European ancestry .
@@The1ByTheSea my mom was born in Sonora, Magdalena. I’m 55% European; mostly Spanish, Basque and Portuguese. I’m interested in my 36% Indigenous. On my mom’s side we have Yaqui. I’m looking into the locations of my DNA in Mexico to learn indigenous DNA I have. I have indigenous DNA in Jalisco, Aguascalientes and Guanajuato. I’m starting to research indigenous groups in those regions.
I am from Puerto Rico, 69% European and proud of it mainly Spanish. I am not surprised about it I knew I was mainly Spanish.
Wow they really don't know do they....
Bro you's speak Spanish for a reason.
Oh, the colonizer that just love to call the Europeans, who never left europe, colonizers 😂
Yes, this is something really anoyingto see uso many anti-European racist people from the Us to call us Europeans « colonialists » when it is themselves who descend from colons, not us. Us, people from Europe we descend from people who stayed in Europe…. The descendants of the conquistadors that sttettled in the Americas are not Spanish people but people from the Americas.
I’m Mexican and I have nothing against my Spanish ancestry. I actually take pride in it, they got rid of human sacrifices and brought the lord Jesus Christ to this continent ❤️ ✝️
I'm Jamacian and it's motto is "Out of Many One People".
After the abolition of Slavery there was an large influx of poor labourer from India,China and Europe. Over time there was also immigration from Middle East (? Lebanon/Syria).
This was common throughout the Caribbean. Hence very mixed ancestorial heritage, culture and religions. The difference from most of rest of the world is that all groups are FULLY assimilated and accepted
Can't wait to do the test, these are (all) my people!
actually the European migration to Jamaica and Barbados ; was first before the African .First were the Irish indentured servants . Irish indentured servants in Jamaica included household maids to the English ,and they had children.The white poor Irish were dying fast cause there was yellow fever/malaria and killing them off ;so African slaves were brought overs sugar cane became the cash crop of the Caribbean more African slaves were brought over .
The ones "shocked" when they get European look European, what were they expecting?
I think they're programed to be displeased with anything remotely being associated with "white/European". This is often the case with these buzzfeed type RUclips channels. I think it's requirement that anyone working for these channels be heavily left leaning.
I wondered that too, I’m married to an indigenous Mexican man & it’s very easy to see his indigenous features, compared to his sister in law who is jaliscan born Mexican w primarily European ancestry, the features are pretty obviously different.. I think those guys have just been in denial wanting to be indigenous lol
They're Americans, they think nationalities are ethnicities.
People should stop hating other races, or they may be surprised to find out they belong to them.
I want to know what dating is group erase in this video
The girl claiming she’s half Dominican is actually Haitian
And why is that?
Love your videos so much
I I watched 5 minutes of advertising for your algorithm
Thank you for the support!
They should've got a Brazilian in there. They usuallt have some of the most interesting results
From the 23andme I've seen on reddit, most have Portuguese, amerindjan and black, nothing interesting about thay. To me the most interesting people are those from Guerrero, Mexico who score European, Jewish, North African, Sub Saharan African, South Asian, Southeast Asian, Native American. You don't see that in any other Latin American country, it's a unique heritage.
@@carlosm.3426 Guerrero Mexico? My husband is from a small rancho there
@@carlosm.3426Acapulco, Mexico and Manila, Philippines were the main ports of the Galleon trade bet Asia and Latin America. Those brought settlers like Native Filipinos, Indigenous and creole Mexicans, Chinese traders, Peruvians, Indian Subcontinent ancestries etc for 300 years to both sides of the Pacific.
@@carlosm.3426 Nope, not that unique. You see that in Panama and Trinidad and Jamaica and Venezuela...my family for instance.
It's just US Americans with some Central-American ancestry.
I’m Puerto Rican and got Galicia as my top Spanish ancestry. Most of my last names are Galician.
Yo bro you should visit it's a beautiful part of the world
My last name is also Galician, but Canary Islands is my number one with Galicia being #3. My last name has both Galician and Jewish ancestry with many taking the name to hide their ancestry during the Spanish Inquisition.
@@ss75691yes I saw some of my ancestry from Canary Islands but have also found ancestry straight from Galicia to Puerto Rico from region likes Lugo and Pontevedra.
The Mexican guy is from Chihuahua in Northern Mexico;he does not know that most concentration of European ancestry in Mexico is in Northern Mexico : Chihuahua.Durango,Sonora, Baja California ,Nuevo Leon .
Honestly the girl from the Indian subcontinent is an embarrassment.. she doesn't even know the history of the emigration of our people to the DR as well
I’m Chicano (Mexican American).
My results are -
55% Spaniard
2% Magyar Hungarian
1% East Slavic (Russian/Ukro/Belarusian)
38% Native American
From USA, Mexico, Central America, Andes and Carib regions
4% North Caucasus (Southern Russia minorities)
2% Horn of Africa
Eritrea/Ethiopia/Somalia
1% Inuit (Indigenous Arctic)
These results are very unique
Just out of curiosity, do you have any idea where the Hungarian/Eastern European comes from?
@@NataliaNNS I feel like that could be test confusion because Native Americans have trace ancestry from central asia/Siberian becase they came from/thru there before crossing the bering strait into the American continents.
@@olg06 yep lots of people never wonder where "native american" comes from.. like.. they didn't spawn in from thin air.. in fact IIRC matriarcal DNA identified a couple dozenancestors for the ENTIRE continents.. (which mean that the entire continent descent from maybe 50-70 individuals of which 30ish females..)
Spaniard is not a race. It is a nationality. Spaniards are white. They are of the white race. A lot of Hispanics or Latinos are mixed races. People don't know what is a race or what race they are.
Ha your white then XD. No offense.
The reactions to European is embarrassing they just had to make it woke and obnoxious
Got no problem speaking European languages..
Spain was having trouble getting people to colonize in the new world, so they brought over a boat load (literally and figuratively) of people from the Canary Islands to the area that is now San Antonio. It is possible they took them to other areas.
The Canary islands is part of Spain
These people kept coming through the centuries to Puerto Rico ,Cuba, venezuela etc
The Canary Islands are part of Spain .The Canarios settled in San Antonio, but also in Southern Louisiana at the time that Louisiana was Spanish Luisiana ,but many Canary Islanders also settled in Puerto Rico,Dominican Republic,Cuba and Venezuela
Every time I’ve gone to the Canary Islands, their Spanish is so similar to mine. Don’t look too different than friends family (border states USA)
I know for sure that there are people of Indian ancestry is Suriname, which is a country above Brazil. Here in the Netherlands, who colonised Suriname, we call them hindustani, they aren't necessarily hindu though (but most are). There are also a lot of Chinese people there. Oh and it's the only country where there's a synagogue and a mosque right next to each other!
and Javanese :Indonesia at the time was a Dutch colony .That is where you get the Muslims from :from Indonesia :Java
My ancestry consists of 92% Great Britain/Ireland and this latest (past few days) Ancestry update has us now up to 6% Norwegian ancestry. I've done my Ancestry back to 1600 and earlier, and not a "-son" in the bunch. Good thing I know about the Danelaw...because that's where my "Norwegian" (or Swedish, because it has vascilated through the updates) comes from. I think it safe to say that I will never know specifics about those ancestors.
That goes for everyone with Northwestern European ancestry. It's all too far back to know the specific ancestor, but we all know different North and West Germanic tribes mingled all across the North Sea for thousands of years before recorded history. It's not from one ancestor to be found in records, but from many ancestors way further back (that every Northwestern European shares).
I was pleasantly surprised when I found that one of my "communities" was Southern Japan. ( Okinawa ) when before it only showed North Carolina and Georgia as "Communities" .
because a lot of your family members and community hat took the DNA test must be in the military and stay at the US based there lol
I find it hilarious when these people ask “oh then I’m not from Mexico, Colombia etc” they didn’t exist.
You are looking for native heritage which a lot may not have.🗿
Born and raised in Southern California. Both sides of my family came from Mexico. My DNA results are 36% Indigenous N. American (Mexico), 23% Spain, 12% Basque, 11% Portuguese, 4% Scottish, 3% Senegal, 3% England and Northwestern Europe, 2% Indigenous America, 2% France, 1% Cameroon, 1% North African, 1% Indigenous Peru and 1% Norway. 🤪
Would DNA results be much more accurate if France allowed people to take these Ancestry DNA tests?
Yes. The more people tested, the more precise they can be with the results, but it would only do so much because there are so many under-represented population groups in these databases.
Note to Western European Americans whose family has been in America for a long time. 23andMe and Ancestry are heavily weighted toward Great Britain, as that is the background of mostly Americans researching their genealogy. I am German and Dutch, but 23andMe makes me English. This is also because Anglo-Saxons share a lot of DNA with Germanic Europe. Ancestry DNA makes me Scotsman, but still matches me with my family members strangely.
At some point in the future, do you think people in the New World will be distant enough from their European, African and Asian roots to eventually be described in terms of American regions?
Yes, as that population group develops unique DNA mutations then those DNA mutations become signatures to that population group. I'm not sure how long of a process that would take, especially considering we still have issues deciphering some population groups with thousands of years of separation, such as Indigenous Americans from East Asians.
Reproductive isolation is necessary for populations to become distinct from each other. Unless civilization collapses to the point where we return to a stone age, I doubt that can happen in the Americas anymore. We just have too many roads, too many ways to travel, and migrations are expected to continue.
I would assume the opposite. Given enough time (I'm assuming thousands of years) as people from around the world mix with each other we will eventually wind up becoming homogeneous.
The second dude totally skipped over his Africa ancestry
I’m Mexican-American
My results are:
49.7% Native American
38.3% European
7.6% Sub-Saharan African
2% Western Asian & North African
You're 100% correct with the Jewish and Sephardic ancestry in Spaniards and Hispanics. Also, yes, the Mexican guy and the Dominican girl seemed a bit racist towards Europeans, tbh, and pretty ignorant.
Because they’re both morons
I noticed today that 23andMe just updated their ancestry results to separate East Asian from Native American into different top-level categories. As a result, my Native American is now being shown as Chinese Dai. Thoughts?
a prehistoric skull called Mengzi Ren found in the Yunnan Province of China by the Vietnam Border where the Dai People are Indigenous to is Genetically Linked to Modern Day East/Southeast Asians and Native Americans. According to a peer reviewed study published in Cell and other scientific publications
I live in Portugal and all my recent family lived here and genetically i am less portuguese than most this people
That’s too funny!
I am glad I know my mom's history because I cannot go by her matches, because all her cousins show higher CM than normal because her mother and her mothers brother(her uncle) married her father and her fathers sister (he aunt) so she has double cousins and higher percentages in DNA matches with cousins....so her aunt and uncle are her aunt and uncle on BOTH sides. So her uncle George and aunt Pearl are on her mothers side and her fathers side....so cousins come in really high in cm in genetic matches.
How very 'Bama of them.
In regard to the Mexican guy who had a small amount of Italian: There actually was some early Italian migration to Mexico, since the Spanish crown controlled or was closely allied with parts of the Italian peninsula during the colonial period. That is particularly true of the northeast -- Nuevo Leon, for example, one of the test taker's communities. My own ancestors are from there, and I can identify specific individuals who were born in Italy in the 1600s, based on their own written testimony and/or will.
Additionally, there were prominent Italian (especially Genoese) communities in Andalusian and eastern Spanish ports, although this may be too distant in time to affect the DNA breakdown significantly.
There was significant later Italian immigration to Mexico, as well.
There were obviously close ties; ol' Chris Colombo himself was Italian!
There are Roman ruins in some parts of Spain. Hint hint.
true , Spain had control over the Netherlands and Flanders :the low country and Sicily and Southern Italy .As long as they were Catholics they could serve the Spanish army; some Italians ,Catholic guys from Belgium and Irish served in the Spanish army .Like the case of O'Higgans in Chile .When Napoleon was Emperor of Mexico ;there were many French soldiers stationed in Mexico and had children legitimate and illigitamate all over Mexico : Puebla ,Jalisco (Guadalajra ) ,etc.
22:30 I as someone who was born Jewish I hate how people who find like 1% Jewish ancestry and they just use it like an accessory basically like people who claim to be 128th cherokee
So? You should be proud about it. Things were rather different not long ago. I am Jewish myself and trust me, these comments are way nicer compared to the ones you hear in some European countries, particularly in the East or the Balkans, not to mention the rest of the Middle East.
@@topmog Yeah, it’s a problem, though. Too complex to discuss in RUclips comments. It’s great if it helps people understand how widely mixed we all are. But this whole vogue of thinking that these ethnicity tests are reasons to appropriate culture (which usually involves distorting it), especially when 1% of anything is pretty meaningless anyway - not to mention the whole discussion around “Jewish DNA” - is largely based on companies’ estimates to reference populations that they pick, along with “recipes” that, especially in the Jewish case, they use to decide what makes up a Jewish identity. Seriously?
As it is, Ancestry has recently stopped trying to define who’s Sephardi and who’s Ashkenazi, and is now just saying “Jewish peoples of Europe.” Which is a slight improvement, but eh. Each company uses its own admixture “recipe” for Jewishness, and how does one judge that? How much European and how much, say, southwest Asian? Who decides?
Whoever decides, it shouldn’t be left to a company to tell people who they are or how they should identify. Feh.
LOL Yes, THIS!
It’s just a reaction for a video and they literally acted the same way with most the percentages not only Jewish one. I highly doubt any of them are going around saying they are Jewish especially with how proud Hispanics are with their culture we will always say where we are from and not claim anything else. These test are done by many just for fun, not to be taken that seriously
I have a dash of Ashkenazi. I'm Hispanic. My curiosity lead me to the Spanish Inquisition. I learned, but it was sad. Just as sad as coming to terms with slavery within my personal history.
one funny thing I have noticed in these YT videos on ancestral admixture are the Indonesians, Pacific Islanders, Polynesians that get substantial FILIPINO percentage as an admixture and are confused, surprised and some, angry about it.
Oddly, Filipinos don't get those admixtures, even Indonesian. I assume in this specific case it is because not enough Indigenous Indonesians have done genetic testing.
The Philippines was part of Spain and so was Guam and the Marianas ;so Guam and Marianas were a stop for the Spanish Manila Galleon ;many horny ,single men on the ships.Also Hawaii cultivated pineapples and had many Filipino workers go work the pineapple fields and Hawaii .
The Italian you get could also be Ashkenazi, because Ashkenazim cluster close to Southern Italians.
“He’s like offended by it” sir if you only knew 😭😂
Why the heck do they get upset when they hear European? Kinda rude especially when you think of the back lash a person would get if they were as disappointed about African heritage!
Maybe because European ancestry is associated with rape and oppression especially if that ancestors goes back to the days when it was legal to enslave people of color.
They are American Liberals
Ikr right I’m Mexican with indigenous ancestors from North East Asia, but when I found out that I had Finnish 🇫🇮 blood I was happy cuz I love Finland
Gee I don't know, because it means it was most likely rape.
The West Asian ancestry is probably related to more recent migrations to the Americas since Middle Eastern people have immigrated there since the 19th century and many Latin-American countries still have prominent Arab communities (notably Brazil, Chile and Mexico). Fun fact: Salma Hayek and Shakira are both ethnically Lebanese
Facts. Also Carlos Slim. Most of immigrants were Arab Christians
My Grandfather's Itialian name reflected a Barcelona ancestry as Itialian merchants were spreading everywhere. Iberian also reflects many distinct groups as they were different tribes until quite recently, and even now folk of Northern Spain (Basque) are still culturally distinct as is Barcelona.
Barcelona is even a Greek.Yes so the Spanish coast had had Iberian,Phoenician,Carthagenesean ,Greek ,Roman, Goths,Visigoths,Morrocan ,and Sephardic Jew and Gypsy minorities within them.The Basque were isolated by the mountains and remained in their mountain pockets pretty unmixed .
Toda España es distinta en sus diferentes regiones. Los vascos a los andaluces, éstos a los catalanes, los catalanes a los extremeños, los extremeños a los gallegos, éstos a los castellanos... con sus costumbres, su folklore, su gastronomía, su idioma o su acento específico, incluso dentro de una misma región
@@The1ByTheSeamy father town in north Catalonia has a basque name. Euskera is related to Iberian language. I don’t see differences between basque and other Iberians.
@@isabelrodriguez6717pues en la reconquista fueron bajando hacia el sur como si dividieras la peninsula en franjas verticales. Así que en realidad. La gente de andalucia depende de la con puede tener más en común con galicia, Asturias, Cantabria etc etc.
The show about the doctor is called "Our father"
4:43 Masaman created a video documenting the correlation between Latinos from Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic, and those from the Canary Islands. The Spanish spoken in those two nations are identical to the Spanish spoken in the Islas Canarias, so the Canarienses are the likely cultural and ancestral forebears.
I just commented that they look and sound like my own people region (Mexican border region).
Don't forget Cuba, home of the greatest canarian community in America along with Venezuela.
In reference to East Indians in the Americas many or most of the individuals of Indian descent in the Caribbean are in former English colonies but most prominently in Trinidad & Tobago & Guyana. The English brought large amounts of South Asians specifically Indians to Caribbean as "indenture servants". I don't think she mentions that side of her family being from the Caribbean though and but she did say Sri Lanka.
Very cool and interesting video
The IndoCaribbean is mostly Trinidad and Tobago and the Guyanas
I can't watch these "Oh my word I'm "X", but my (insert family/relative here) came from "Y-land" not taking in any history or geography into account! Luckily instead of me screaming at the screen, you point out the same things calmly with extra info!
It’s interesting when the Mexican guy said “you’re 4% less colonized than me,” centering the discussion around the non-European origin when really every here has “colonized” AND “colonizer” origins. Understanding your heritage involves understanding world history and viewing from a certain perspective. Maybe the perspective the people featured in the video grew up to have will be shifted by what they learned. I wish everyone who Jared reacts too could see his reaction because they could learn a lot from him.
I don't know why all the comments on this video are along the lines of "wow haha how come these people didn't know they had European DNA even though it's obvious that they would" when nobody in the video was even surprised by the fact that they had European DNA. They were surprised by the amount of it & where exactly it came from sometimes which is like. normal. Mestizos have been mestizos for long enough that many people can't trace back to their last fully white, fully indigenous or fully anything ancestor, so why would they have any idea of their DNA percentage breakdown?? Also, yeah, a lot of Latinos in the U.S. don't want to be white, is that so shocking? Does it shatter your worldview that being white isn't something everybody is aspiring towards? Latinos experience racism for being Latino so why is it shocking that they would not want to identify much with the group that is oppressive towards them, not to mention the white part of mestizo Latinos' heritage is a result of colonization & almost definitely did not come from a consensual relationship, it's a reminder of violence & genocide, why would they take pride in it? I don't think that's actually very hard to understand unless you're approaching things in bad faith. Also, nobody in this video was even very negative about their European DNA. Many of them found it interesting even if it also seemed to feel complicated for all the reasons I mentioned. Maybe if you watched the video without this guy acting as if the participants were just stupid you'd have a different perception of it.
Mr. Professional Genealogist, I don't think you had particularly bad intentions in uploading this video, or with your commentary. However, I hope you can see how your own biased reaction and lack of willingness to understand where these people were coming from, as well as not giving them much grace for their lack of knowledge on the nature of DNA analysis and the like, has lead others in the comments to perceive this video through a lense of bolstering this idea of white victimhood and defensiveness, despite the fact that this video is pretty inoffensive. If you can't handle people who have been subjected to brutal colonization by the hands of white Europeans for centuries having some sense of rejection towards that part of their heritage and not having much of a desire to identify with it, I don't know what to tell you. If you knew your grandmother was a victim of rape, would you feel a sense of pride when you see her rapist's DNA appear in your DNA test results? And that's a much more simple situation than it was for the recent centuries of Latin American history.
After emancipation, Trinidad and Tobago, the English Guyana and Jamaica, basically the ex-British colonies all received a large number of peoples from the Indian subcontinent to work the fields and other jobs that used to be performed by slaves.
I got Ashkenazi Jewish results in 2 companies but not in MyHeritage, I'm portuguese, do you think I might have sephardic jewish ancestry because of the new christians? Looking at all the cousin matches in the different platforms I got about 20 4th to 5th cousins with jewish ancestry and more or less 140 low confidence matches popping up. Thank's!
It’s highly likely that you have some Sephardic ancestry as you’re Portuguese and got Ashkenazi in more than one company. It is even more likely if your “Jewish cousins” are mostly Jewish in their dna and no Iberian (then you can have more certainty that the Iberian dna is not the link with them).
@@amandacarvalhodegenhardt8364 The “Jewish” part needs explaining, and so far none of the most popular DNA companies do it well. Technically, there’s no such thing as Jewish DNA. Not because “Jewish” is only a religion (it’s not), but because they’re wildly estimating based on “recipes” of location that vary from company to company, and combine various European ancestries with ancestries that are from southwest Asia (aka the “Middle East”), what’s now Iran, the eastern Mediterranean, etc. Yet, genetic studies of known Jewish populations have been shown to be more closely related to one another than to the surrounding non-Jewish reference populations. For example, people from Sephardic families are more closely related to Ashkenazi groups than to Spanish and Portuguese reference populations. The companies all use different reference populations, too. And the way they choose those is up for questioning, too. Add to that: speaking genetically, any real DNA (using the autosomal tests the companies do) connections basically disappear if you go back more than about 200 years, or about five generations.
So the whole hubbub over DNA ethnicity estimates is a bit of a scam, tbh. It’s most useful for figuring out where to search for *recent* ancestors, in the last 200 years or so.
Beyond that, the most useful techniques are finding DNA chromosome matches. OR - taking the more expensive Y-DNA test (if you’re a male by birth), or the mtDNA test (available to all sexes). But all you get there is the ability to trace back ONE genetic line per test: pure paternal line using the male Y chromosomal DNA, and the pure maternal line using mitochondrial DNA. But that only gives you, at best, the father’s father’s father’s... line, and the mother’s mother’s mother’s... line, back to prehistoric times. Out of literally thousands of ancestors’ lines.
Those two tests are great fun, but the only worth they have, really, is to confirm (or disprove) a connection between related people who happen to share those lines of descent. So, of value if you’re unsure of your parentage or grandparentage, for example. And to see where one chromosome may have originated (but maybe not), in prehistoric times.
But if you go back that far, it really doesn’t mean much.
Where Jewish ancestry is concerned, be aware that since Jews were forced to be endogamous in many places, for centuries (they intermarried a lot), the cousin relationships are often wildly overestimated by the companies’ algorithms. Which makes it more likely to hit many dead ends when investigating them. As someone with three Jewish grandparents, I can tell you that it’s very frustrating. The Leeds method of tracking cousins is pretty useless for sorting out Jewish connections, too.
Overall, if you don’t come up with at least 15-20% Jewish descent in the tests, most geneticists advise ignoring it. Unless you have family stories of Jewish heritage, or documentation, it’s just not meaningful in any real way. Just know that there’s really no such thing as “Jewish DNA” (although there is Jewish ancestry, and Jews are a multi-ethnic people).
I hope this is helpful.
Mine says Ashkenazi, but I’m certain it is Sephardic
@@azborderlandsEuropean Ashkenazi would never read African-Asian Sephardic
More studies are needed in developing countries, including Native Americans alongside Asians is a sign that the evidence is still imprecise and there are important phenotypic variations in different Native American ethnic groups that are not reflected in many results
"important phenotypic variations" - these DNA tests are not about phenotypes. Indeed, phenotypes are very misleading wrt ancestry.
I found this interesting because through research my mom did I have some Sephardi ancestry but it does not show up on 23 & me. It's interesting that you say that it would all just show up as Ashkenazi.
I am Spanish and I get a very little Ashkenazi Jewish 0.3% but then I get a French German 14% and this percentage does not show any city where my ancestors will call home instead in Spain yes
23:54 I'm Mexican and I got tons of matches on Ancestry, not as much but still tons of matches on 23andMe, also on MyHeritage I got tons of matches which was surprising, I thought that company had a much more European customer base...I got close matches (2nd cousin or better) on all three.
On FTDNA I got tons of matches as well (also surprising) but no close matches, only 3rd, 4th, 5th cousins... and most of them seem to be from a particular ancestral line, different from the most popular line on Ancestry and 23andMe.
I don’t know who my dad’s great grandfather was or where he was from. I paid to have my brother do the Ydna Y111 and then did the SNP pack. His Haplogroup is a R-BY2573.
Same with my direct maternal side I have no idea who my 3rd GGM parents were. My mtdna haplogroup is a T2b.
Jamaica had quite a few Indian and Chinese migrants. I was just explaining Ladino to my daughter's best friend who's mom is from a Sephardic background. Her 102 year old grandfather recently died but days before she said it seemed he was speaking in some sort of Spanish but no one could understand. I said I bet he was speaking Ladino. Conversos...after the Inquisition. Great article about 20 years ago on Conversos in the LA Times.
Jamaica was first Spanish and the Portuguese and Spanish Jews ( Iberian Jews) stayed in Jamaica when Jamaica became British .
❤Did you mean Latinamericans? I hope you know that the actual Latins are Europeans,thencountries where the Roman Empire's culture was the most important.
What does an A2 maternal Haplogroup mean!? I did my DNA test and 47.3% European, 43% Indigenous American, mostly in Mexico, 3.1% subsaharan African, 2.6 Western Asian & North African, 0.7 East Asian, 0.5% trace in central and South Asia, and 2.9% unassigned. I was honestly shocked at the amount of indigenous American I have because I’m very fair with dark hair.
Maternal Haplogroup A2 is typical of populations from East Asia, North America, and Mesoamerica
It's not just that these young people do not realize that what they think of as their "nationality" is just a modern political invention. Also true is that we humans are very much alike. In one of your examples the discussion included Italy. Well, there is no definitive Italianness in chromosomes, for example. The need to shop for an identity drives these young people into believing there are significant differences inherent in their biology, when there simply isn't.
Northern African ancestry is common for the south of Iberia.
As low percentage as the rest of Spain. The only area of Spain with a significant percentage of Northern African ancestry is the Canary Islands with about 20% of it due to the Guanche natives who were of Berber-Amazigh genetic ancestry even if they were not Muslims or related to Arabs. The other area with a larger Northern African ancestry in Spain due to history where you can find pockets with about 10% ancestry is the Northern Western region, Galicia and Portugal (at the time ruled by the Spanish Monarchy), as "moriscos" were expelled to that far away area to ensure they lose all relation with Muslims from North Africa or with any Arab culture from Andalusia.
In the South of Spain what you will find more is the Gypsie population with origin in Asia (India).
Canary Islands (Guanche) ancestry
@@jmtrevijano9160 Spain And Portugal Just Have 5% to 7% Of Berbers Ancestry(Average).

My dad took a dna test and didn't wanna accept he was mostly white even though he's a Hispanic but the genes were 61% European others where of native American and arab plus African
On my moms side i got indigenous German and Spanish which she wasn't shocked to be white since her grandmother looked very German people gotta stop doing self hate on there culture if there white like it's a bad thing i understand history in the past wasn't kind to some ancestors but we shouldn't bring the hate onto ourselves
Based on my ancestry community, I am no aware of any of my family being from the area. Like no one from my family line has ties to Virginia.
Hi Jarret Ross, I have a DNA question for you. Hopefully you will know 5he answer, since this is your field. I took two DNA test, one on Ancestry and the other one with My Heritage DNA. The one on my Heritage said 22% Italian and the one in Ancestry changed the Italian to Portugal. My ancestors were from Galicia. No known Italian anscestors. Most of my family members also got Italian or Sardinian on my Heritage. They also share Galician DNA, and when they took The Ancestry tests they noticed their Italian DNA was replaced with Portugal.
Galicia was part of Hispania Tarraconensis, and Rome ruled over Hispania Tarraconensis for over 700 years, how is it that Ancestry does not take that into consideration? And later Spain ruled over some parts of Italy. I don’t understand why Ancestry does not take that into account when calculating their DNA percentages.
You should comment on how danaging it is to glorify your DNA and pretend it determines your personality and your relationships. It's interesting to hear your input on the science but i was really hoping to get a secular view on the modern racism in our culture. This is obviously not that kinda channel so I'm headed out. Nice beard btw.
Tienes toda la razon, los europeos estamos todos muy mezclados entre nosotros, debido a las grandes migraciones de pueblos.. Estuvo estubo poblado durante miles de años por pueblos ibericos y celtas, despues vinieron los romanos y estuvieron durante 600 años en la peninsula iberica y despues se asentaron pueblos germanos, las invasiones del norte africa y por ultimo, la reconquista y expulsion de los musulmanes... despues debido a las politicas de expansion de los reinos ibericos se extendieron por Francia, Italia e incluso llegaron a grecia.... asi que no es de extrañar que haya hispanoamericanos que ademas de sangre iberica, tengan sangre de irlanda, aleman o italiana, son todos antepasados de españoles.
I have posted before I took a My Heritage DNA test, well I took a CRI GENETICS test. I got the recent and advanced search as well as the famous relatives. All I can say is WoW.
What would be the average maximum percentage that you would call a trace result, therefore not really holding any ancestry weight.
Hard to say exactly, but I usually view 2% or less as trace. It used to be that 5% or less, but the tests really have improved over the years. I'm still somewhat skeptical with under 5% but the confidence is definitely higher once 3%.
Great question!
@@ProfessionalGenealogistReacts Thanks, always wondered this.
The CRI GENETICS test said I have Peruvian and Arab. Also French and a few others.
Roman colonists settled in Iberia to Latinize the population.

Can you blame them. I'm black American and I have 10% European. I assume that came from rape during slavery since both my parents and all my grandparents were black. They came from the south as well so....
@@lexh5121 African-Americans & Mestizo latinos are not the same. Anger over Rape? Mestizos are proud of their genetics to have to stick with only other mestizos for generations not straying off from that 50/50 mark. They didn't want to mix with blacks or full blood indigenous people....
I really appreciate your knowledge on this subject.
That said, I get that your video is about geneology but I don't understand how you were able to watch this bunch of blatant anti white racists without being offended and integrating that into this video...
I have noticed a large proportion of people who have taken DNA tests always have a very small amount of Ashkenazi Jewish. I wonder why this is?
The Ashkenazi Jews were in the Iberian Peninsula Spain and also the Arabs, as a consequence a large part of the population inherited a little Jewish, these Spaniards immigrated to the Americas and had children with local indigenous people thus spreading throughout much of the Americas, a A lot of Latinos have a little bit of Ashkenazi Jewry but it tends to show up in very small numbers
@@eltecnico9541 No. Its Sephardic Jews and "arab" is part of Sephardic Jew Genetics because they come from the middle east...
@@eltecnico9541 I thought it was Sephardic Jews that were in Spain and Ashkenazi are from Germany.
That guy with “Mexican ancestry”, was not offended when they told him the could see the European in him. He loved it! That was and “OMG, really? Right!” Tell me more!!!
The thing is that we all came from ancestors from Africa. Even though it may not show up in DNA tests. It's fact. Most of them are Spanish and indigenous American. Native American. So it makes sense. European Spanish is still Latin. But it doesn't matter what the dna tests say. For all cultures and nationalities it's what you feel and know in your heart and mind that defines you. That's what we were all doing all along. And plus spiritually it's all just a fun game we're playing called life. So its all good.
Do you answer one off questions?? I have been following you blog and have done a test in ancestry for me and my dad and there is a very interesting result for us and don't know how to explain that
Yeah india migrated to guyana in Caribbean and Australia
I am glad you mentioned those extra, somewhat random, groups for the Sephardic ancestry. I am of Latin American origin and was told we had Jewish ancestry (Sephardic) going way back but with a Spanish surname (Calderon). I do get 2% Ashkenazi (have gotten as high as 4) but I always have changing small percentages that vary like Cyprus, Iran, Levant. Maybe that is part of the Sephardic.
My grandmother had over 26% Ashkenazi Jewish in her results. We have a theory that it might have something to do with our great-grandfather migrating to Latin America around the time of the First World War.
You should feel proud of yourself. Latin American is a amazing mix from America, Europe and Africa (and sometimes Asia). It's ridiculous see people ashamed of his DNA :(
If you can please react to 8 Football Legends Uncover Their Origins with MyHeritage DNA!

We really are Hispanic, "latinoamérica" is stupid concept to erase our Spanish heritage, we Hispanic people are a huge family that was divided by the independences, because before of that we were a huge territory, the powerful Spanish Empire.
Why would we need to embrace our Spanish heritage?
I was not surprised by my results I was surprised about places that I didn’t get results from. My ancestry results keep updating though lol.
If he from Southern west part of Puerto Rico will have less black .Higher Black populations live closer to the Ports where ships brought the slaves to the Island like in the North Eastern part of the island. However majority Puerto Rican are mixed of European (Spaniards, French, Irish, Dutch different families different mixtures) Taino (some of those European married native people so you going have some families higher or lower % Taino, some those European going marry the slaves that where brought to the island from Nigeria, Gold Coast etc so many of us will have African DNA, if your family from Loiza Aldea that was a Port thru which slaves was brought to the Island hence why Puerto Rican are darker in that particular Town bc many are the decendent of those African slaves that influenced so much of our music, dance and food along with the Tainos that where from that town together they fused what is enourmous part of are culture. If your from Anasco Barranquitas for example many Tainos fled to the mountains and some people in that region may have more Taino blood with caramel skin and straight hair. While those that have more Europeans have lighter skin & lighter eyes but each and every one of them make up Puerto Ricans. My sister in law has Red hair and most people in her town have red hair . Persecuted Irish escaped to the mountain into her town and left their red hair as evidence. Puerto Rico have Beautiful history along with the sad history of the Tainos & slaves trials & tribulation but those very strong people overcame much tragedy & pain by getting together and making the most of what was given to them. What rich European gave them as left overs and they turned it into delicious meals....the hardships they gave them they turned into beautiful music the are true examples of perseverance. Even the Spaniards that came to island for example from Soller overcame the loss of the their oranges field in Soller and traversed the Ocean and used their experience & knowledge of planting oranges on mountain regions Hence they used that knowledge & established many of our Coffee Plantations throughout the island. So much history of struggle perseverance and tenacity we should study ,preserve, protect and teach.

Por isso são ignorantes
@@leondenizard3800 they care about dancing, sexualised music and being under the sun I guess? Many Brazilians do care about ancestry though
Uhhh Brazilian here and I do. Most of us down southeast and South Brazil have immediate immigrant or colonial history in our families. On my mother's side, my grandfather's parents are straight up from Portugal and my grandmother had Spanish.
My paternal grandmother was italian and my grandfather was from a long line of Souza because the Souza were one of the first Portuguese noble families to settle and govern Brazil.
It's always sad to see how stupid people really are. They have no idea about anything in this world. Whether it was poor education or just plain stupidity, it still is pathetic how little people know and how far they will stretch the reality to fit their beliefs.
Proof you don't need an education to work at buzzfeed 😂

Most aren't African that's just Cuba, Dominican Republic, and Puerto Rico which isn't the majority of Latin America.

I can’t talk about all Latinos, but I know that the majority of us MESTIZOS are native American and Iberian/ European.
1. Why doesn’t 23andMe recognize Sephardic (or Mizrahi) Jewry? It’s a substantial group within the Jewish People, at least half of modern day Israelis and older than the Ashkenazi components.
2. Is it possible that supposed Jewish ancestry among Latinos could be a misread for Arab-Muslim ancestors? Considering the several hundreds years occupation of most of Spain by Muslim powers, I’m surprised “Arab” or “Berber” isn’t showing up on these reports
Arabs were almost insignificant in relation to the larger Hispanoroman population and with time became diluted. The "Arab" rulers were genetically almost as Hispano as Christians after generations. Many of those rulers of different Spanish regions of the early Islamic history of Al-Andalus with funny Arab names were hispanoromanvisigoth natives converted into Muslims.
The first Caliph of Al-Andalus and greatest Muslim ruler, and not less cruel, Abderramán III, Abd al-Rahmán ibn Muhámmad "al-Nāṣir li-dīn Allah," was the nephew of the Christian Queen Toda of the Kingdom of Navarra and after 8 generations from the first Emir of Al-Andalus Abderramán I - already married to a Spanish converted woman and who was a brutal emir not just with Christians but with Berbers and Arabs too as he killed in battle and executed as a punishment thousands of them - the Caliph's Abderramán III Arab genes, who was a blue eyed and red hair who dyed in black his hair color, were very minor to native Hispano (100% Hispano genetic heritage of his mother and 100% Hispano genetic heritage of his paternal grandmother, both from Christian Kingdom of Navarre, plus all the dilution of eight generations of his paternal masculine line that for sure left his Arab genetic heritage in a testimonial percentual figure of one digit) even if by religion, main language and cultural influence Abderramán III was undoubtedly an Arab.
Northern African Berbers were also a small minority to the native Spanish population, and probably even to the Spanish Jews. Most of their ancestry left Spain for Muslim North Africa in several waves before and after 1492 (the year when the Reconquista of all the Iberian peninsula from Muslim rule was finished). Finally, all those who did not convert to Catholics or many who even if converted were considered dubious Catholic faithful, it would not be a surprise if in some cases their physical Arab or North African traits played a role, were expelled to North Africa from 1609 to 1615.
The "occupation" of most of Spain was due to the massive conversion of the native Hispanoroman/Visigoth population into Muslims. That is something you have to know first to understand why it took so long for Hispano Christians to reconquer the territories of the Kingdom of Spain where only a small part of it in the Spanish North Atlantic coast remained independent of Muslim rule and was the origin of the Reconquista. It also explains the divide between Old Christians and New Christians as they reconvert from Muslim to Christian as the Reconquista advanced and were considered some kind of "second class" Christians. It was also the case of the many Jews who converted to Catholicism too.
Spanish Jewish people, or original Sephardic Jews, did also support the Muslim invasion of Spain, a never forgotten treason during the Reconquista, and this was the main reason for their expulsion as Old Christians hated them as much as Arabs and Berbers and could not trust them due to their relevant historical role in supporting Muslim invasion and the consolidation in Spain of the Muslim state or Emirate of Al-Andalus. This historical treason was then a very important difference from the rest of Europe's relationship with the Jewish people. While the majority of the Jewish population did convert to Catholics and integrate into Spanish society, Muslims, Moriscos, and staunch Jews were all expelled from Spain for political reasons at the time of the reunification of Spain as the Christian Kingdom at the end of the Reconquista.
As a curiosity, due to historical facts there is more genetic Iberian heritage in Morocco, Algeria, and Tunis than North African Berber genes in modern Spaniards despite "considering the several hundreds years occupation of most of Spain by Muslim powers".
1. Its because Sephardic jews is a mix of Ashkenazi, middle eastern, & north african
2. No. In Latinos its most likely a Sephardic Jewish/conversos/guanche ancestor rather than "arab-muslim" ancestor. Because all muslims were kicked out of Spain before American colonialism began.
He said in previous videos that 23 and Me doesn't work for identifying sefardic and Mizrahi Jews because there aren't enough data samples. Meaning I guess that not enough people have submitted their swabs to log in the different lines, and usually u have to provide some info about where u think you are from....I might not have that 100% correct but he mentioned it in another video
