Hah! That's like one time a white co-worker from England was talking about a friend of hers who was getting married to an Australian. I immediately asked her if he is Aborigines. She looked at me like, "are you serious?" I was. You see, we are in NY and I do not know anyone from Australia. So, in my mind when you say someone is Australian, I do not see a white person. I take a few seconds to process this kind of information before speaking now. Don't get me started with South Africa. Hmm, I wonder what people who have never been to the US think of when they hear someone is American.

We told them England. But they kept pushing us for more. Most of my friend were either Jamaica born and British born Jamaicans so in the end we told the people we came from Jamaica. I was the only British born from St Vincent and the Grenadines. I don't know if they has any idea black peoples lived in England .

I talked about this with my brother, who was wondering why we had so much Greek and Turkish in us when we are both 100% Italian on all sides. 1,000 years ago, "Italy" didn't exist. 2,000 years ago, "Greek" and "Italian" were both Roman. Any earlier than that, and we would have been called three-quarters Sabine and one-quarter Latin. The names we use depend on political boundaries, which shift with the wind sometimes.

People need to understand that these ethnicities are not subject to one country or political area but based on population migrations of people over time and places. The more people get tested the more precise will be the results. You may find over time that you may get updated results that may look different, just remember your DNA doesn't change just how the data will improve how we get to know the past. I look forward to seeing your videos.

That's why I think it's annoying when Americans try to push the concept onto us Europeans. We divide people differently here. In my country we unfortunately also have racism, but apart from neonazis and some radical leftists it's not based on race, but on stuff like ethnicity, appearance, and nationality. So the race concept doesn't even hold much meaning for racists.

Excellent, Well Done!!, I am from across the pond in the US. Five years ago I had my first DNA testing done by the National Geographic Genographic Project. My results' tract to Nigeria as well, the Yoruba... the second round identified 24% other results including the UK, Eurasia and Native American tribes. I too, experienced a similar sense of shock, a normal response to centuries of conditioning. Africans from across the diaspora have been similarly traumatized by slavery and colonization. To suddenly for the first time be awakened from the Matrix can be disorienting, like finding out you were adopted. So much of how we think about ourselves is filtered through the lens of White culture. DNA results can offer an opportunity to see our selves from a scientific perspective independent of cultural story lines that may no longer be relevant. They can now, instead, serve as a point to a more expansive journey.

Mankind is old and most people are mixed.(genetically mixed) That's how we move, survive and get genetically diversified and strong. That makes DNA exciting as we can imagine and appreciate the steps our many ancestors have endured. The lines on maps drawn by political powers do not represent where people ruled and lived or felt at home, nor do they define how we feel inside and we inherit strengths and talents from far away places of moving origins and it is good so. That seems to be part of the survival plan and fate. Great video! History when told truthfully, clears the mind of nonsense and let's us be better adults.

Using Jamaica as an example of Nationality was good because a lot of people may still not be receptive to the idea of African people enslaving other African people or of them moving around and intermarriage between ethnic groups.

The other thing is that there are some Africans that have full or majority DNA that's tied to Israel. There was Hebrew Nigerians 😂 and saw one who was unambiguously Black but his DNA was 90% Israeli. It was interesting. But their mitochondrial DNA is African. Looks like the world and nation of Israel was really African.

I remember a video of someone who kinda based her whole identity on being African (despite being very obviously very mixed) and took a very Afro-centric heritage test that was supposed to trace her ancestry back to specific tribes and whatnot. She was obviously very personally invested in the whole "daughter of Africa" image she had built for herself. The test came back that they couldn't narrow down the results because she wasn't African enough; she was only around 50% African genetically or something like that. And she basically had an emotional breakdown about how this test, that was supposed to validate her and show how strong her African ties were, instead was "basically a slap in the face" by telling her how white she actually is and she wasted her money and wants to take a different test because "obviously, these results aren't right." The reality is that there is less genetic variance among different "races" and "ethnicities" of human than there is among different breeds of dog; vastly less. People make such a big deal over such superficial differences. The only race is the Human race.

Ethnicity also has to do with time. My Y DNA test initially came back saying my paternal line was from the coast of Normandy, which is true (8th GGF). A few years later it said I was Scandinavian, likely a product of Vikings invading Normandy and assimilating. Cousins in the UK are likely the product of the Norman Conquest in 1066. If they keep going they’ll say I’m Middle Eastern and eventually African. Human history is fraught with migration and conquest. My French Canadian ancestors bred with the Natives, a branch that practiced ritualized torture and cannibalism. My English Colonist ancestors committed biological warfare and genocide on those Native Americans. I am immensely proud of each branch of my genetic family tree and avoid judging their lives by today’s standards. All we can do is live a peaceful and civilized life and contribute to a better future.

It has been so interesting watching this presentation and reading the diverse comments. My two cents is that I describe myself as a Black African-American, which means to me that I was born in America and I am of African descent. This further means to me that I am a Black African who because of circumstances beyond my control was born in America. (I consider my personal designation as identifying my race, nationality, ethnicity, and culture). My DNA states that I am 94% West African (a mixture of 41% Nigerian and a lesser percentage Mali, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Senegal, Cameroon, Congo, Southern and Western Bantu People, Benin, Togo). You can say I am mixed (LOL).

I'm from the United States of America and my ancestors were brought here as slaves sometime between the 1600 and the 1800s. I recently had my DNA tested and found that I'm 42.7% Nigerian, 19.7% Ghanaian, Liberian & Sierra Leonean, 2.2% Senegambian & Guinean. The remainder of my DNA is French & German, British & Irish, Native American, and Chinese & Southeast Asian. The most recent part of my ancestry is found in the Caribbean (Jamaica). Unfortunately, I have no way of knowing which tribes my family would have come from in Africa. We identify as African American or Black here in the U.S.

I uploaded my results to gedmatch easy step one step 2 you can do a "one to many comparison and look at a gang of names. When you come across any that look unusual to you make a note of the name and the gedmatch number. Since you came back mostly Nigerian look for Nigerian names. How will you know they are Nigerian? Nigerian names tend to start with A,O, or U also if the name is Igbo it may have the word "Chi" in it or you may see gb or kp in the name. If the name is Yoruba you may see Ade- or Akin- or -tunde or wale or wunmi. After and if you find a possible African name Google to verify it is African. Now you've found the name is African the next thing you want to do is try to fit out is your match African or just has an African name. Most Africans are not mixed with non-African ancestry. Whereas most of us AAs are. You want to go to where they allow you to do a comparison to see if your match is mixed or not go to the "EthioHelix" if your match is African they should not show any non-African results you can email them and ask if they or their parents are from Africa hopefully you get a response. I did everything I suggested and I found I think maybe 5 matches with no non-African admix all 5 were or are Nigerian. I one has a name from the Ibani Ijaw people of Nigeria. The rest are Igbo

There is NO WAY for a DNA test to distinguish between one location in Africa and another. FRANKLY I do not see it being able to do much beyond telling you what color your eyes are and whether you have the same mother, the same father the same sibling or are twins. I used to RUN DNA tests. We CAN determine a few illnesses, hair color, can match DNA for identification of a corpse. Used to work in medical labs so I would hear about it from the pathologist occasionally. But look it up online from RESEARCHERS PLEASE. Most of these labs claiming they can tell you what COUNTRY you are from are fibbing to put it politely. You can find videos from twins who both sent in their DNA and got back DIFFERENT RESULTS on where they were from! We are guessing often on LARGER people groups never mind countries. And a terrible fraud has been perpetrated on people in the US. A couple of tribes have been obliterated here in the US from history that were primarily dark in complexion and told they were African American. MLK knew it. One was primarily Caribbean. The other stretching from the Southwest to the Southeast. That does not mean there are no descendants. It means they were enslaved on plantations and told their ancestors came from Africa on ships just like the ones COMING off of ships. Look at the drawn pictures depicting Columbus's contact with the peoples on the islands. Some families kept the old tales. But as you know other families were DELIBERATELY broken up. Makes it easier not to have to make the TRUE reparations returning to them their property. The mansions were not built by the supposed owners, but by the people they put to work. BEFORE the slavery. Just like the property and houses taken from the Cherokee who were then exiled on the Trail of Tears. At least the Lumbee are still in the same place they always have been. They are finally recognized by the Federal Government and in the process of purchasing land contiguously to try to get a recognized reservation and some autonomy.

This fellow is making some HUGE mistakes regarding his own DNA! First, there is no such thing as "African." The Bible refers to the continent as "Ethiopia" in Greek, or "black faced people," not Africa, which is not even in the Bible. In fact, it was Augustus Caesar who named the continent after one of his generals, Leo Scipio Africanus, who conquered much of the northern portion. So, when he refers to himself as "African," I have no idea what he is talking about. Second, the Bible lists 18 different races of the world in Genesis 10. There is no "Negro, Nigerian, Jamaican, Cuban, or Haitian." The "Negro" is actually the Hebrew Israelite, as Jesus was. Third, the Bible says that you are what your FATHER is! In other words, you are determined by the Y-chromosome only, which, by the way, NEVER changes! If you are male, then you have the same exact Y-chromosome as your father, and his father, and his father, on and on...it never changes. The X-chromosome is from the mother. All women have TWO X-chromosomes, one from the mother and the other from the father. It is difficult to know which X-chromosome is from whom. So, we do not chase the X-chromosome. Although this fellow speaks with authority, actually he does not know his genetic background at all. He has a couple pieces of the DNA puzzle and thinks that is all he needs. The Bible refers to him as the "lost sheep." Maybe he is of Israel...maybe not!

That is right! Most people relate more strongly with their culture. When people of different cultures intermarry their children will usually have both cultures in the home and the culture/cultures from society/school, etc... The grand children or great grand children will usually identify and practice the culture of society at large and or one of the parents or grandparents. The great grand children usually only practice or identify with the main culture in their society or if the society at large has had lots of people intermarrying outside of the original culture then a new culture emerges altogether in the society/community.

@@carymarshallfelton9188 Bahamian Oral History speaks of this. It wasn’t hard for many Bahamians to pick up the Gullah/Geechie speech patterns; if they wanted to jump the contract: “The Contract,” also known as “The Project” was a farm labor program established on March 16, 1943 by the governments of The Bahamas and the United States of America. The program continued, with changes in its organization, until 1966. It allowed thousands of Bahamian men and women from islands throughout the archipelago to carry out agricultural work in many American states. Bahamians cultivated and harvested a variety of crops: from tobacco in Tennessee and peaches in Georgia to corn in Minnesota, citrus in Florida, and peanuts in North Carolina. Some workers returned to the Bahamas. Others settled in communities located around the United States; hence, the coastal areas of North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida (Gullah Geechee region). During April 1943, initially 1,885 Bahamians were transported by air to the United States. Another 4,698 persons followed later that year. At first, laborers were assigned to work in Florida. Over the course of five years, more than 15,000 workers were recruited to work across the country. Reference: Thompson, T. L. (2012). Remembering “The Contract”: Recollections of Bahamians.

A commercial DNA test can only compare someone's DNA to the DNA that the testing company already has on file. Several years ago my mother had her DNA tested. The results were 85% British Isles. But, I've done genealogy research and know that her mother's ancestry is nearly 100% Rhenish going back to the time of Martin Luther. Also, even if nuclear DNA from non-sex cells is tested, you still won't get accurate results. You get half of you chromosomes from your father and half from your mother, but because of how chromosomes break apart and reform when cells divide you don't get even amounts of DNA from each of your 4 grandparents and the same thing happened with their grandparents and with every generation going back to the dawn of time.

@@freedapeeple4049 Actually you are so very WRONG: in places like South Africa, United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand knowing your ancestry is important culturally, politically, and even legally. The colonial practices of slavery, indentured labour, segregation, forced displacement, often under the auspices of Christian missions, has disconnected whole nations of people from their traditional ancestral lands, culture and identity. In American legal statutes having any African ancestry means you are Black, and we all know the discrimination that happens there against Black and First Peoples. In Australia the consequences to the Stolen Generations are current: not only are First Australians denied their cultural heritage but they they have had their living families stripped away from with parents, uncles and aunts, and even grandparents still living, and still mourning their removal. There is also another very good reason to know one's genetic ancestry - your health and the health of your descendents. There are various medical conditions that occur with significantly higher incidents in peoples of certain ethnicities, and those with various ancestries may carry recessive or dormant genes for those conditions. Knowing your ancestry and your partner's ancestry gives you and your children the opportunity to get genetic testing to see if you are carriers of those genes. That's important too don't you think?

However, races have been mixing a very long time and in the USA we overestimate our White DNA quantity in general and the amount that came from trans Atlantic slavery in particular. Most of my USA friends report results of about 89% or greater Black DNA. Meanwhile, many Blacks in Africa report the same amount of Black to nonBlack DNA and no one says they are not Black. This point comes up alot in Pan African discussions.

So when I see other people who are very mixed define themselves by some percieved single ethnicity and build their entire self image off it I just don't get it at all. I suppose it's like the phase of everyone trying to put on airs because someone told them they were distantly related to some Royal from 600 years ago or some crap.

The issue with these DNA test is they are only tracking a small percentage of your lineage. They only track your mother, your mother's mother, your mother's mother's mother etc. Your fraternal lineage is not tracked. Also people who currently reside in countries on the western coast of Africa may or may not have originated from that region. Many African people were force toward the western coast of Africa during the slave trade. Not to mention the countless nomadic people who traveled the continent freely before modern border restriction were established.

There are different types of tests autosomal looks at all 46 chromosomes you inherit 23 from you mother and 23 from your father. Of both sets it covers male and female ancestors. The test that goes back to your mom,to her mom,to her mom and so on. That is mitochondrial DNA the other which goes from father to son to son to son and so on is Y chromosome. That is the one AfricanAncestry uses or those two. 23andme, AncestryDNA, MyHeritage all do autosomal. I forgot to add X chromosome wee all have at least one of those from our mother's. When a man has daughter she gets one X from her mother and the other from her father who in turn got it from his mother.

There's a lot of guesswork involved in saying your DNA comes from particular places. People move around. Statements about where your DNA comes from is based on what other DNA has been tested around the world and where they happened to find it. If a lot of people moved from one place to another 200 years ago and that event was never recorded, how would anyone know? Famines and wars drive a lot of migrations. And most countries did not exist until the last few hundred year. Germany and Italy are only 150 years old.
