DNA tests are a fun way to take a look at your family history. Black or African Americans have a long and complicated admixture from people all over the world. Let's see what my results look like as we compare 23andMe to my Ancestry.com test results.

As a black person myself, theirs a lot of uninformed people on how diverse black ancestry is in the Americas and it’s history in the US. And most recent studies have shown the AVERAGE ranges from 70-82% in a 2020 study. BUT, that doesn’t mean u can’t be lower like this lady here or higher like a lot are. It’s just as “somewhat uncommon” to be in the low 60’s as it is to be high 80’s+, and it doesn’t mean anything cause at the end of the day, Black people aren’t a monolith💯

You are literally mixed if you are only 70% black (or you're not African American in the first place). Stop re-writing history, African Americans are usually only around 15% non-black. If they have a white grandparent, obviously that will make them more mixed (or they are part Creole or some other non-SSA region). You guys seem to take delight in spreading false misinfo that AA's are more non-black than they really are. Our ethnicity is less diluted because mixing was taboo, and it happened ages ago.

28.5% European is not the typical African-American make up of someone a slave to sin. So either your ancestry is part Creole, or one of your great grandparents grandparents are mixed. Your DNA to me looks very typical of a creole person. And the fact that you said jambalaya of a person, I’m gonna say pond intended even though you didn’t intend it.

Interesting results. I was actually hoping to see your Additional Communities from AncestryDNA. I got my test results from AncestryDNA in June and it was updated as you know in August. So I have 77% Sub Saharan African, Mostly Lower Guinea(Nigeria, Cameroon Congo and Western Bantu, Benin and Togo, Ghana and Ivory Coast) at 72%(5% is Mali and Senegal combined) my European Admixture is 22%(British Isles and Norwegian) with Yucatan Peninsula(Ancient Mayan population; Belize) at 1%. My additional Community is Early Virginia African Americans which I've researched to be true(Early roots from Colonial Maryland and Virginia). I think it surprises a lot of Pre Civil War(1860) Black Population Descendants that they have as much European Admixture as they do. I saw someone that you're more mixed than most Pre Civil War Black Population Descendants and I guess with my results some would say that of me but slavery only ended 155 years ago. Most of our community's Admixture comes from that and 10-30% isn't surprising. I've seen higher from those without recent full European Ancestors. I definitely don't have any recent full European Ancestors. Anyway, glad you posted.

@@char08fal that's very unlikely. The Native people in that area did not migrate out of the Yukatan Peninsula. If so they would have traveled South, not North. They test our DNA by comparing them to haplogroups in different parts of the world. That part of her DNA just so happens to match a haplogroup that is still alive in Mexico today. People mixed so much back in the early nomadic days and carried specific DNA to different parts of the world. Her Native American ancestor simply just has cousins in Mexico.

@char08fal 3 жыл бұрын

ichaboda Crane The results said Indigenous-Mexico not Yucatán Peninsula. And the Mexico region on Ancestry highlights all of Mexico, Texas, Arizona, New Mexico and California. Therefore, it could be her Native ancestor is genetically related to Native Americans from those regions OR it could be a direct ancestor. In my family’s case it was a direct ancestor (I’ve done my family tree and history). I wouldn’t have asked if it wasn’t probable. I’m also aware of how DNA works. And I’d caution you about assuming migration patterns, there are always people who moved North to the US from Mexico and Central America for various reasons.

I know that there are light and medium and dark skin colored people of all continents, most in Africa that are light skin have mixed from Arab, greeks or Romans especially in North Africa, however you are correct that there are also many African peoples of light skin color who simply have less melanin and less pigment genetically. But I said almost all meaning many times in many cases but I never said always in certainty but in as a majority of North Africa and South Africa Sahara and even most Somalian Eritreans Ethiopians and cape verda and Madagascar natives are mixed.

People in the know about North Western Europe say they mean these countries Denmark, Sweden and Norway. From my point of view Ireland will always be included. If you read the Bible it clearly states that the tribe of Dan would travel towards the northwest and would clearly sign post every place they would travel to.Open a map and every country town and river That is spelt Dan, Don Dun and Din is where the Tribe of Dan has been and sometimes still is. Look ate the map of Ireland and you would see the same. I hope this gives you a better understanding of your ancestry. By the way Ancestry's data base i twice as large as 23and me.

Hi sweetheart! I loved and really enjoyed this video. Ivam Cole is right, it doesn’t matter where you come from lol. The average African American is between 15% or lower of European, and the African percentage is 80% or higher. You are mixed, and there is nothing wrong with that. Being in the 60’s is very low and I’m sure both or one of your parents is mixed along with their parents. Most likely they were either in denial, or lived in a period where mixture was discarded because they had African Ancestry hence the one drop rule.

You're American Indian that's why you look Ethiopian. I had a friend from New Orleans who Ethiopians in the DMV believed was one of them but hee family waa American Indian. Ask your Elders what tribes are in your family? Research the state and county where you are from to determine which tribes lived there. Don't expect the truth from any of the DNA ancestry estimates because they are subjected to institutionalized bias.
