Our DNA reveals that we have more in common with each other than we think! Have you ever uncovered a surprising ethnicity in your DNA journey?

"You have a cousin in this room" Her reaction ALWAYS makes me teary

Imagine, you were dating someone for around 3 years, you have a pretty intimate relationship and love eachother very much. You decide to take this test after saving up a bit. You take it annnnnnnd: She's your cousin.

The kurdish one gave me chills. It's exactly my sisters and my position, everytime we talk about politics she starts blaming the turkish people claims she is just pure kurdish.Then I tell her that actually she is a bit turkish by her self.

This video should be titled: *"Some of the worst people in the world take a dna test to find out their heritage and only soften their outlooks as soon as they find out they share backgrounds with all those people they hate"*

the dude from iceland ... "i'm better then you" wtf????

I got my results a little over a week ago from ancestry DNA I literary lost my breathe I was shocked my life and my view of myself changed at that moment In a week I've been linked up with close relatives that I didn't know existed from countries that I had only ever read about in books..... I advise everyone who can to take the ancestry DNA test.... its life changing

I just got my results back this morning. I was always told 100% Greek. I am only 68% Greece/Italy and most other comes from basically middle eastern and Jews. Blessed are the peacemakers.

I did the test. It turns out I am, part labrador. There's my silky smooth, golden locks explained.

My mum is adopted and i bought her the dna test kit for christmas :)

I work at a homeless shelter, doing my undergraduate training. An assignment was given for hypothetical training for the staff. Even though this is only for an assignment, I have played this video for a couple of the staff and will continue to show the others, to show them how connected we all are.

This is why I keep saying to folks, it's important to know who you are. This is because it can help determine where you're going and where your people have been. One way or another we're connected to a common ancestry, yet part of a larger group of people. And you never know what's in your DNA, this is all the reason we should respect and care about one another.

I get this is a commercial but it has a beautiful message and this should be seen by everyone.

I guess being American I never really thought of people being like "Im 100% French and no one can tell me other wise." All Americans come from such diverse and different backgrounds. Such as I am German, Polish, Irish, French, Welsh, Swedish, and Scottish.

Me when I found out I am 00,1 Japanese “Tokyo Drift” time

The one that said like I'm more important than you disgusts me

I want to take this test. I've wondered where my ancestors are from

I took one of these tests (Ancestry DNA) and I found out I was 6% East Asian and 33% Middle Eastern when both of my parents are from Africa. There's no such thing as a pure race and anyone who believes that is an idiot, period. We were all just humans before countries divided us and race disconnected us.

I absolutely love this film and I have used this footage daily in the schools we visit when we are delivering our CSI Forensic Science Workshops for several years now, however, of late it seems more relevant than ever. From analysing hair and fibers, our sessions naturally take us to discuss DNA and Ethnicity and I use myself as an example, as I am of mixed race and have recently taken my own DNA test. However, this film explains it better than I ever could and the reaction of the students and teachers is always 100% positive and opens up a huge discussion about heritage and culture, a subject in the UK that is not often openly discussed because of the fear of offending an individual or group of people or the fear of being accused of being a racist. I really hope in my lifetime, that all schools and colleges get the opportunity to view this film, it is so very, very powerful and has been put together so sensitively by MOMONDO. I wish it was a compulsory watch in our schools within the national curriculum, particularly within Citizenship, PHSE, Lifeskills, or Geography as it really would teach students from an age when it really matters that globally there really are more similarities between us than differences!

I am from Macedonia and the political situation in my country makes me buy this kit and find out everything about my origin. It is fascinating to see how connected to each other people are 😊

The guy from Iceland is not a representation of all people from there. :)

I took the test last month. I thought I was Swedish/Italian. Well, I got a LOT of added surprises! I have a country list 100+!!! I'm Arabic, Jewish, Pacific Islands, North African, Asian. My head is still spinning!

i'm usually annoyed with youtube video adverts, but this one made cry like a little baby, so touching.

God this made me cry!

I dunno if it's because Americans are so mixed and that I personally don't know my family's history or origin but there's no country or ethnicity that I would be upset to have ancestry from.

Really like the take home message "An open world begins with an open mind"

Probably one of the best ads that have ever played before a KZfaq video.

Every Human needs to see this video!

Absolutely heartwarming wish the whole world would get on board. I'm from all over the place and I LOVE IT thank you Ancestry DNA

This is literally the most important video ever made

Everytime I watch this I cry. It's so beautiful.

THIS IS BRILLIANT! I found out my dna and was both shocked and not shocked at all.

this moved my heart so much and told me so much about how we are related to so many people

African 41% Native American 12% European 45% Middle Eastern 2% :)

I ‘m Excited waiting for my kit now! So so excited I’m sure going to have a mixture of things yay

I loved this video, absolutely wonderful. Thank you.

Oh my god, I would absolutely adore and enjoy if i had such an opportunity like this

This was a really nice and touching commercial I'm definitely gonna buy the kit soon!

this was so POWERFUL

Thank you so much ! this is a great work for all of us !

That was awesome! Gave me chills :-)

this is amazing, me, my mother and my father did this at different times. keep in mind im puerto rican so i know I am mixed blooded already.here is the shocker though, i am more italian/greek and british than spanish. Those were the two highest percentages in my dna. my father's was 25% british and my mother's was 31% spanish and then we all had native american and various african dna amongst our own results muxed in with others from europe.

this is beautiful. before I took my dna test, I promised myself, all along, that it is not what we are, but who we are that matters the most. we are one people -portugal, scandinavia, great britain, europe east, ireland, italy/greece, middle east, africa north, and new world is what I am, not who I am

We traced our roots back to an odd lil European couple who had no skills whatsoever, except for yodeling. This explains so much about my Uncle Phil. Thank you, Ancestry.

I am from Mexico and we are a huge melange of "races" so I knew I had Native American, Ibero, Italian,African and Chinese, my parents and grandparents were well informed (and not shy at all) about our ancestry, the only regions that were bit surprising were the 2% or 4% ones like Britain, or Middle Eastern and Polinesia, those were a bit of surprise but I'm sure my ancestors travel so, I can see that, :)

This is incredible.

This commercial makes me cry EVERY time 😩😩❤️

I can't wait to see the rest of the results. I think it is very emotional for many. It was for me.

Love the video, I think a lot of people are missing out by not taking this test. 👍🏽

To everyone saying that this is staged: first of all, thank you for reading my comment! I hope you have a great day :) Secondly, think about this: what if the people show are the only ones that had notable reactions? There's a whole group behind them! The rest of them could have been unimpressed or just shrugged. It doesn't *have* to be staged! They can just pick and choose the reactions, and also pick and choose specific moments from said reactions. And who knows, maybe they even pulled in a few different groups, and this is just the one with the most notable reactions, and a unknown pair of cousins!

Oh gosh this is very emotional! 😭

My family ancestors live in the US too. But i have Gypsies,German,Slovak,Czech,Hungarian,Romanian people in our family tree. Greetings from Slovakia. This video IS a really good Kick to start the Discovery.

I agree with the lady in the video who said everyone should have their DNA analyzed. I think a lot of people would be stunned by their results. It really makes you think when you're staring at your results.

even with all the criticisms below i still find this video beautiful 😊

The absolute best Video that posted on KZfaq!! We are all from everywhere! ❤

This was pretty amazing to watch...

no shit we have similar genes, we're all the same species

I would love to know about the guy from Bangladesh!! please make a video based on DNA journey about that guy.....

Excellent! Kudos to those who produced this!

I did this. I was certain I was Polish, Bohemian and German. I get my results back, 60 percent eastern europe as expected, but i was 15 percent italian or greek, and 10 percent british. Just shattered what I actually thought I was.

AMAZING!

3:41 ....aaand there it is.

Wow! Very powerful; and I love this.

Amazing advertisement! Thank you for creating this.

these guys are actors

Amazingly beautiful, we are all parts of each other, more or less! 8)

"The greatest illusion is the illusion of separation....we are all one people but we live as if divided" -Guru Pathik, Avatar the Last Airbender

Absolutely beautiful.

WOW the best ad I've seen on KZfaq! glad I didn't skip

So much drama.. they got good actors!

Bingo!! That was wonderful. I loved it when Mr. "I don't want to be German" finds out he's part German. Also, Mr. I'm better than you, finds out his results are Not cut and dried. Good job.

I don't know if those are actors nor if the whole commercial was staged, I don't care, I can't hold my tears each time I re-watch it, and at the same time I find myself smiling till the end. Agree with the lady who says the test should be compulsory, discrimination due to ethnia does not apply anymore. My test revealed procedence from a dozen regions I would never have imagined and I ended up discovering that a very dear friend of mine is also a relative, something that made us both very happy. Do not hesitate, take it !!!

this was an incredible video!! im kurdish as well!!!!

the over the top emotion ruined it

Such a beautiful video

I was looking for this video for the last 5 years. I saw by the first time at a philosophy or religion class (I don't remember exactly which was been) in school and I never forgot his... I don't why, but this video had target in my live forever.

My teacher showed this to us at school and I nearly cried at the cousins

animus is real

I'll never get tired of watching this. I agree with the lady at 3:40 i.e. that there is no such thing as a pure race. Best Regards, Michael M. Kamau, Nairobi, Kenya, East Africa, 27th November 2023.

I've just sent one of these in. I'm so excited.. 😂

guys repair your link in description, btw this is awesome

1/36 Irish totally makes you Irish.

It doesn't matter if they are actors, it's the message that is important her!

Just AWESOME!

omg, this bought tears:))

I think, I should try that with my twin sister.

this was so touching

This revelation is about the secrets of the BODY! And it has a tremendous power in connecting, uniting humanity! IMAGINE what a power lies in the revelation of the secrets of the SOUL... Ez a leleplezés a TEST titkairól! És micsoda hatalmas ereje van az emberiség összekapcsolásában, egyesítésében! KÉPZELD EL milyen erő rejtezhet a LÉLEK titkainak leleplezésében ... With Love and Oneness / Szeretettel, Kripāmaya🌈

The dude “from Iceland” doesn’t even have an Icelandic accent.

My father was Polish.... My mother is Italian... My surname sounds Greek but has Hungarian roots.... I was born in England.... then you can realise why I don't hate anyone...

92 % South Asia with other some other regions along with potential distant cousins from the Middle East, European Jewish, Iberian Peninsula, Ireland, its absolutely amazing.

This is why you should never hate any countries or ethnicities... We are all part of the same world. So awesome.

I love this.. racism is a HUGE problem and I think this shows people that no matter what, you always have some kind of ancestral line that is connected to someone, or some kind of race that you don't particularly like.. ❤️❤️ I love it..

If there is no "pure ethnicities " How can they tell if you are %German Turkish, ect. There must be "pure specimens" to compare to

This is so fascinating

This made me smile! Now i want to do that too

"Dövlet bize bökmiyidir ha"

of course we are all connected, we all derived from a common ancestor so its likely that you're related to about 60% of the rest of the world, and the data these guys get is from only as far back as there are records, the first humans on Earth are everyones ancestors, so really it shouldn't a surprise if your ancestors come from almost every country out there. I dont get why these people are so surprised as to where their ancestors are from

this video made me order my kit. Waiting on my results.

I love this video
