No. That time is spent on gender studies and minority issues.

In the US they don’t have a geography class.

Rami they didn’t teach us a lot about Europe and other countries when I was in school (in America).. but they did offer geography in high school, but unfortunately you’re right we didn’t know a lot. I think it was dumb. I wish they did teach us more.

Rachel Yanda yeah geography is not a required class like in other countries it is. That’s y people have no idea of where countries are. Even people call Mexico south or Central America when is in North America and that’s our neighbor lol

Osvaldo Valencia i didn’t know about the Mexico part but dang that’s sad. Yea I think they should require Geography. I didn’t even know what the heck Iberian Peninsula was either. Everyone should know.. lol

Yes, but only politically ... genetically there is only one ethnic group and therefore only one people, the Hispanic or Iberian people ... There is no Portuguese ethnic group, the Portuguese Galician son crossing the Duero River, migrated to Muslim lands where many battles, were gaining ground and eventually created a kingdom of Portugal populated with descendants of Galicians, Asturians, Leonese, Castilians, etc. . Therefore, from the point of view of genetic, historical, cultural and geographical views, the Portuguese are, and always, HISPANOS or, what is the same, Spanish ...

Quecomadrid Garcia Garcia, Iberian means Spanish or Portuguese, period. We are talking about nationalities here. The Portuguese are Iberians the same way Spaniards are Iberians. The word "Spanish" in English does not refer to the whole Iberian Peninsula, it only refers to your country.

Atualmente espanhol refere-se apenas à parte da península hispânica que ocupa o Reino de Espanha que ... Mas historicamente hispânica ou ibérica se referiu a toda a península para toda a Hispânia ou Espanha histórica e Portugal fazia parte de toda a Espanha até a intervenção inglesa de 1640, que foi retirada à força da união que se formou juntamente com a sua irmãos (Galiza, Castela, Catalunha, Andaluzia, etc ...) Como Luis de Vaz Camôes disse em seus escritos sobre a Espanha ...

Quecomadrid Garcia Garcia O nome Espanha deriva de "Hispânia" (que significa Península Ibérica) mas não são sinónimos, nem em inglês nem em espanhol ou português. Espanha não inclui Portugal (obviamente) mas Hispânia sim. Dizer em inglês que "Iberia is Spain" é um insulto e desrespeito para Portugal e sua história e habitantes. Antes da intervenção britânica, Portugal já tinha sido independente por 5 séculos.

Eu acho que ele interpretou mal o que eu disse ... Eu digo (e Camões eu disse a mesma coisa ... acabou de ler quando ele fala sobre a Espanha e seus reinos ou territórios: Castilla fala, fala da Andaluzia, Galiza, País Basco, Aragão ... e também fala de Portugal Camões que era "o melhor reino de Espanha, a melhor luta contra os mouros e glorificando o rei Sebastian, o melhor Rei de Espanha, para lutar até a morte contra os inimigos muçulmanos ......) ... A palavra Espanha deriva da Hispânia e significa a mesma coisa e refere-se a TODA A PENÍNSULA desde sempre ... outra coisa é que atualmente, significa todo o território peninsular exceto Portugal ... mas historicamente e até o século XVIII sempre se referiu a toda a península hispânica ou ibérica, e sempre de Portugal e até o século XVIII e tem sido afirmado em sua historiografia antes de Camões, quando Camôes e depois e até o século XVIII ... Ainda no século XIX alguns escritores , alegou que Portugal fazia parte da Espanha e que o seu isolamento era artificial, antinatural e causado pela má influência da Inglaterra, que arrancara Portugal do seu destino como parte importante da Espanha para transformá-lo num protectorado inglês, com as costas para o resto. da Espanha de uma forma que não existe em outra parte do mundo ... E o que escrevo não é contra Portugal, mas a favor do verdadeiro e hispânico de Portugal ... o Portugal que escreveu Camôes, considerado em sua época um dos grandes escritores, poetas e cronistas da Espanha ....... Você pode falar sobre a rivalidade entre Portugal e Castela (dois REIS HISPÂNICOS ...) Nos séculos XIII, XIV, XV ou XVI ... Mas o atual estado espanhol sem Portugal foi formado no início do século XVIII. Os atuais estados espanhóis e portugueses são recentes e datam do século XIX ... (a república portuguesa é de 1911 ..) .. Tudo isso não tem nada a ver com a verdadeira declaração histórica que Portugal é uma terra HISPÀNICA e seu povo é a mesma que na Galiza, León, Extremadura e muito semelhante ao resto da península ... Assim, em todos os teste genético sempre vem Ibérica (que é igual a Hispanico e não tem nada a ver com íbero ... para a Ibero eram as antigas tribos que estavam no Mediterrâneo ...) .. Exatamente que ibérico porque, se colocar hispânico, haveria reivindicações e protestos de alguns portugueses que não conhecem a verdadeira história de Portugal ou são nacionalistas radicais que negam o espanholismo de Portugal ... Sua origem hispânica data de antes do criação do concelho portugalensis e quando a Galiza fazia fronteira com os mouros no rio Duero ... E os antepassados ​​dos actuais portugueses eram os galegos; que cruzou o rio Douro e formou um concelho com a parte sul da Galiza e foi nomeado depois de Portugal porque originalmente eles fizeram ao redor da cidade de coisa o porto.. Hispania é muito mais cedo do que o Império Romano foi no ano -19 antes de Cristo já havia unificado toda a Península e criou a Hispânia (não havia mais as tribos ibérica, lusitana, galega e todas as outras apenas as Vasconas foram corsadas ...) A hispanidade nasceu como um conceito nacional ... No ano de 711 (devido à invasão muçulmana) a Hispânia estava prestes a desaparecer, mas resistiu e se conservou no Norte (os condados da Galiza, Astúrias, Navarra, Aragão e Catalão ...) ... A partir de então até a expulsão dos muçulmanos no século XIII (exceto o reino de Granada ...) ... SEMPRE reivindicou a restauração da HISPÂNIA e a reunificação em um único estado ... Una é o castelhano Português e outra que é verdade .. e ninguém diz que Portugal tem que ser castelhano ... Mas Castela, Portugal, Leão, Galiza, Aragão, Navarra, etc ... são reinos nascidos na Idade Média ... Porque nós viemos da mesma origem hispânica ou ibérica, que é a mesma ... Nada mais que isso ... O resto já é política moderna ou interpretações incorretas da História. Ninguém ofende Portugal ou tira dele, o inverso é muito importante porque é um país hispânico ...

A lot of people don't bother to look up geographic locations before uploading their dna results n look ignorant n clueless(can't even pronounced the Countries names correct😒)we really need to learn a bit more on world Geography..

americans in general... (south americans aren´t very smart neither).

Yep just like Europeans wouldn't know what Americans call large areas of our country we don't pay much attention to Europe anymore but not everyone is ignorant of geography but go ahead believe what you like women the world over have this same problem . I've met quite a few brilliant Europeans who couldn't find their ass with both hands!

As 'true' as any stereotype tends to be, which means it's ignorant and wrong to assume a stereotype is correct, which means you're lucky I don't generalize and stereotype people ignorantly like you do or I might make some assumptions about you.

@Mario Franz Don't stereotype 330 million people. It makes you look stupid and ignorant.

That's exactly what I was wondering... 😔

She doesn't Identify Iberia with Spain.

Exactly!!

@@radrook4481 That's probably because she studied in USA.

@@albertob.3112 There was this Anglo American guy on the George Lopez show who had his DNA results read. As the envelope was slowly opened he broke out in a sweat from the tension. Then as Lopez read the results and mentioned that he had Native American ancestry, the Anglo American guy blurted out as he fidgeted in his seat: "So what am I supposed to be now? Some kind of Indian chief?

she said that her father 100% mexican not 100% mayas. 100% mexican means nothing

i know that i'm not stupid, but she was surprised not to be 100% mexican and mexican dna do not exist

There's actually no Native American DNA either since they're all from Asia.

I'm American and I cringed hard on that part, it's because Latino Americans want to be so far from White you can't get that information to them, as soon as you tell them their half White from Spanish colonization they'll look at you as if your stupid when in reality we know there the stupid ones.

Tecnovlog True! Actually, Latinos and Hispanics have nothing to do with the Americans, they are genetically southern Europeans which includes the Iberian peninsula (Spain & Portugal).

And African, there is not such a thing as 100 Italians courtesy of the expansion of the Roman Empire

Technically both mediterranian no shock there

House of Savoy if your saying North Africa is in the Mediterranean area, yes but North Africans aren’t Mediterranean, they’re african, literally

Addi Teacha what do u mean by ‘African’? North African is different from Sub Saharan African

@@thyrien1088 north African are Mediterranean,

That's insane! So interesting!

Sam Paterson Greerings. I would not take MyHeritage’s results seriously or any of those autosomal tests as “factual”. They just provide “estimates” and some companies are worse than other including MyHeritage. I’m approximately 1/8 Sicilian and MyHeritage claims I have no ancestry of that region. When I uploaded my DNA results to DNALand.com it showed “West/East Mediterranean Islander” which includes Maltese, Sicilian, which makes sense. Chromosome painting shows “Mediterranean, North African, West Asia and Atlantic” markers that make up my Sicilian ancestry when I see how I match to the few Sicilian cousin matches I have found to date. As one genetic genealogist has argued, all these vendors provide unreliable results and you have to pay close attention to your close genetic cousin matches and learn where their ancestors are from to verify where yours are from. Also, chromosome painting is also reliable.

Sam Paterson DNA is not real man. Greeks are 10 million people and they have 3.5 million Albanians that went there 600 years ago. And these Albs were marrying each other , WHY this DNA have results for Ashkenazi Jews and not for Albanians? Albanians are one of the most ancient and one of the native people of Europe.

Albundy christ hahahhaaahahahahah you are dreamer, greeks has 99.5 helenic dna

Vrzzz • Gr what’s albundy Christ?

Pretty much.

That of the Phoenicians, Alexander the Great, the ottomans, Persians etc

@@michaeltakkou5828 The Greeks called the Canaanites Phoenicians. You can see that in the lineage of the Hamites under the Table of Nations.

Not really

more than 200 years ago..... all DNA ... is extremely mixed..

Central American in myheritage means Central American, Mexican and parts of South America it seems.

Not true I have 27% Central American and it Specifically breaks it down and it says 0% Native American

According to My Heritage's definition, "Central American" is a mixed or mestizo category which includes European, Native American and African. It goes from Mexico all the way down to S. America. So it is a mixed group. A part of the Euro, Native and African ancestry goes into this group. Anything extra is classified as such. Just read My Heritage own definition. I know this creates a lot of confusion and people think it either refers to Central Americans or indigenous people of Central America etc. My Heritage simply uses a category that is absent in most other DNA tests.

Central American is not Central Native American :) .I'm chilean i do this test dna and he tell me that i'm 72% centralAmerican and 24.9% European and 3,1% middle east :) . I download my test and i put it in dna land and tell me more result, he tell me that i'm 46% Native American and 54% WestEurasian. Myheritage give CentralAmerican beceause it's in this area that they are most poeple who are Mixed European and Native American. Myheritage can't find Native American dna but dna land can do it :) so Central American = Native American and European and maybe african ancestry. My tribe ancestry it's Mapuche :) Chilean poeple are mixed :) Sorry for my English :)

Cental American is either Native american or from somewhere else. There are no "central american" genes. The countries in Central America are just as every other country in the American continent a mixture of Native American and everything else, so , if i were you, I would ask for my money back...

Yes!

Spsin mostly

I'm the 69th like. Nice

@Big Mouth not true, Hispania was the name of a territory similar to the nowadays one in the times of Roman Empire. The part of the actual Portugal was called Lusitania... if you don´t know, better don´t invent. Greetings from Spain ;)

yes, Helena... also Andorra and Gibraltar ;)

@@ExternalMedia of course ;)

Didn’t realize that until after filmed! Woops- thanks for the info!

Very true. My sister for example had triple the French. My middle eastern and west Asian are higher than hers. Our majority Italian percentage is however very similar.

How is that possible for biological siblings? I'm just curious! I would think it would be the same for all siblings!

Erin S. If you are identical twins (or clones) you’ll have the same DNA. Siblings are made from the same ”recipy” but not the same ”batch”. So they’ll be almost identical but not exactly.

Very true, so do have your brothers or sisters take the test, it might come out completely different.

Then most of her family is probably from greece

South Italy (Calabria) was known as "Magna Greca" in Latin. "Greater Greece". Tarentum was the first Greek city with 1 million inhabitants.

My mother was from Ancona, her parents and their parents were also Italian. She came out mostly Italian, with Greece, Albania, and Greek islands thrown in the mix. But there was also 7% Swedish, and I have no idea where that came from. My other Italian relatives all refuse to take these tests. They want to think of themselves as 100% Italian. Given my mother's emphasis on the Adriatic and Aegean seas, I wonder if my Italian ancestors were fishermen and fisherwomen. Certainly Ancona is a fishing town--a Greek colony before it became Roman.

Concerning the Greek side of my Italian heritage, one of my Italian great grandparents was named Socrate Montano. What a great name!

Most of italians gets various results. The further you go back in time the more you find. Consider that Italy was home of various different ethnics over the centuries. Celts, Roman, Greek, Berbers, Arabs, Normans, Byzantine, Spanish, French, sephardic jews, Balkans, Germans and several eurasian barbaric tribes that came after the collapse of roman empire... and i listed only the most relevant ones... That's why in Calabria and Campania you can see a lot of blonde people with blue eyes (norman dna) as well as dark skinned people with dark eyes and dark hairs (arab dna). Totally expectable. That's us.

Pretty funny thing to me is that I often see people results with "~1%" nigerian including myself, however I have no ideo why and many results seem inaccurate to my own research with Myheritage. One of my grandparent was from england and had relatives from wales, all the others were from France, the results said I am more british than french! Using my raw DNA and uploading it to different websites (with what they can, I mean there's just a few websites and nothing is free) however stated that I had less english dna and more northwestern Europe, seems like we can't trust anyone.

Awww thanks so much!😘♥️

Actually she was a b ..she thought she was Irish 😂😂😂

Can’t wait to see yours!!!! I’m sure you’ve got some italiana :)

Do the test Zoey! 😃👍🏻

It is surely possible. Many Sicilian persons have blue eyes and blonde hair; mostly because of their Norman heritage, when the Normans settled down there after the short Arab occupation (that's why the palace of Sicilian regional Assembly is called Palace of the Normans and that's why curiously Lombardo or Lombardi are Sicilian surnames and not Lombard surnames). Some of them could also have blue eyes because they inherited them from French occupations. Recently they even found ancient traces of viking shrines in Sicily.

HAHAHA ZOEY❤️❤️❤️

That's a bit stupid 😂 Of course you can be blind or ginger with light eyes. You're from southern Europe, not, let's say Native American. Lots of people from Spain, Portugal or Spain are full Southern European and look like a Nordic person (myself for example).

It's not because of the Moorish invasion, actually the traces of north african DNA was present in pre Indo European peoples of southern Europe and it went to modern European only through it.

And also because of the moorish invasion. They stayed in that region for about 700 years

OMG I have seen some Italians and spainish people and i would never belive that they ae from Europe. TThey have dark features slin like arab north african type people.

ForgiveMe786 well then you see Europeans like George Clooney who are dark and not Sicilian ,Spanish or Portuguese. And Sicily was not under moorish occupation for 700 years at all . Just southern Spain .

@@ForgiveMe786 Lol as if being european would mean, blue eyes and fair hair... Have you ever been in France, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Greece, Malta, Germany or even UK? Cause blonde blue eyed people are less than half of the people.

Poland, Lithuania, Iran and Nigeria = Roman Empire??????

Ahahahaha yes 😂

@@pistofalszywipatrioci Eastern Europe is highlighted because of the Ashkenazi Jewish connection. However, Ashkenazi Jewish DNA is generally traced to Middle Eastern male lines and early converted European female ancestors. It is generally thought of as Jewish males converting and marrying local non-Jewish females. So, yes, Roman Empire makes perfect sense.

True! but Hispania (Spain and Portugal) Galia (France) and Britannia (England) are left. If they added those countries and quite some others it would be literally the roman empire.

@@pistofalszywipatrioci - The Romans' armies were made up of people from all the territories they conquered, and mercenaries. Who were the mercenaries? The Visigoths and the Ostrogoths, for instance.

The Italian do have blond hair, and blue eyes. North Italy is south Tirol, a lot of German speaking people, wirh German names and so on.

Римская империя это мощно !

Thanks for the information!! I had some jewish ancestors in Manaus Brazil, I thought they were just portuguese but after uploading my dna raw data to gedmatch I learned that they come from a region called Belmonte. Apparently they were hiding their religion for centuries נתי נתניתי

Half of Spanish ppl have Jewish blood as thay was forced to convert un 1492 and then Portuguese did the same to the Jewish. The ones that did not want to convert had to leave the Iberia. Also the Spanish inquisition was to find out if the converted jews where just acting Christian....so many librarians have Jewish DNA

@ercan kilic Why do not you write your own history book ... and write what you think? Jews have a history of persecution since the Exodus from Egypt. The Jews have a Bible. You can choose to believe or not. That's your right. I think if you believe in yourself you will not go far. Someone can tell you truth or lies. You choose what is truth and what is false. There's a rule ... Dad does not lie to his son. A tradition that passes from father to son is true. Otherwise you will not believe anything.

@Lorelei Haart pretty interesting details on blood libels in Wikipedia. So some Jews in fact pagans made pagan sacrifices on Christians. Authorities used the crimes to promote a generalization about all faithful Jews making blood libel. Nice pretext for the Spanish Inquisition to ban every Jews.

@@RomanoPRODUCTION Jews can not be pagan. As well as Christians can not be pagan. You either Jewish or Pagan. Christian or Pagan. Can't be both. As far as blood sacrifice.... it's all just Jew hating propaganda currently spreaded by Islamists and Nazis.

horusam maggot actually there are a lot of dark North Africans

A lot of Jews in Spain and East Europe were kicked out, killed, or forced to convert.

Actually Ashkenazi Jews and Mizrahi Jews doesn't have much in common in terms of DNA.

SHICOFF1 originally no but they lived there for centuries and they mixed with local people just like Hungarians have similar dna to surraunding slavic people.

@@volkhen0 get your facts right! a mizrahi jew, even a yemeni jew has much more in common with an ashkenazi jew from russia than ashkenazi jew from russia and a russian........ jews all over the world has common DNA and it doesnt matter where they are, thats why in Israel theres a special bone marrow donation from jews only because they are the only ones that match! and its proven scientifically!!!

@SHICOFF1 Ashkenazi Jews are descendants of the Jewish population that were living in Galilee, Samaria and Judea during the rule of the region by the Roman Empire. Emperor Hadrian changed the name of region to Syria Palaestina in 135 AD because of frequent Jewish revolts against the Romans and scattered some of the population there to the European regions ruled by the Romans and scattered other Jews to other places in the Roman Empire. Hadrian believed by taking the Jews from their homeland that he would quell the Jewish rebellions. Because a large percentage of the Jewish population sent to Europe settled in Germany and intermarried with the local population and Germans are thought to be descendants of Ashkenaz, who was a Great grandson of Noah, Grandson of Japheth and son of Gomer, the term Ashkenazi Jewish was born .

Coincidentally, the country of Georgia was once called Iberia during the middle ages so it would make sense in that context but it's obviously unrelated to the Spanish & Portuguese Iberia the DNA result is referring to lol.

You can't be any percentage Mexican, because Mexican is not an ethnic group.

Ashkenazi means Ashkenazi Jewish it's quite specific not German.

the word Ashkenazi translates to German(Jewish) in Hebrew . that's what I meant and just edited it in. but yes, it is now used as a broad European Jewish dna not just German Jewish.

sukie584 I think it’s a Yiddish word, not Hebrew.

sukie584 Ashkenaz means Germany in medievel hebrew, not the modern one. Ashkenaz was a region that included germany & france, while sefarad included spain & portugal. The jews of Ashkenaz emigrated mainly to eastern european countries such as poland and lithuania... and the Jews of Sefarad went to north africa or to the ottoman empire. Mizrahi Jews are the Jews who emigrated from Judea to Babylon and did not return until recently, the Jews of Persia and Iraq are mostly their descendants

correct. but you might want to highlight Jackieblue1 not me.. I said pretty much the same thing

#truth !

True

I wonder if it's a kind of "genetic signature" of Calabria.

Michele I think that maybe He has Ashkenazi Jew because I read they radicate in Germany.

South Italians cluster close to Jews genetically. There is some overlap with both Ashkenazi and Sephardic gene pool.

MaMa 2020x so that could explain the Nigerian component

It has to be pointed out that a good chunck of the SSA in MENA is ancient (mostly East African) and shouldn't really influence the phenotype much, if at all. The rest is more recent (slave trade related?). It certainly appears it increased in Egypt greatly in Islamic times.

My Heritage is a unreliable site with a well known 'Nigerian bug' that gives a small part of Nigerian blood to anyone. Probably there is a problem in its archives, it may be acceptable to have 1-2% sub-Saharan blood but it's impossible that it's *always* Nigerian. There are people in Norway who are 99% Norwegian and north European and 1% Nigerian, it has become ridiculous. That said if the ancestors of Emilio come from southern Italy it's normal that he has Greek blood (southern Italy is the ancient Magna Graecia) and of other populations of the Mediterranean, because there have always been strong frequentations with those populations due to wars and trade. In northern Italy it's much rarer, for example I live in Lombardy and my DNA is half Italian and half North European and I don't even have a drop of Greek, African or Asian blood.

So cool!!! We are kind of similar then :)

Do you have the option in MyHeritage to get in touch with relatives?

@@vivaeuropa Thank you for your answer. I think older Europeans know most of things just from geography and history lessons and don't really read that much.

@@AntoineM1312 Bro lets be real we're part of the very few Americans who know geography as most schools are shit, unless you self learn or take a geography class in college you won't know much beside the wars we had with other countries.

They’re from Rome but from Puglia and Campania decent

The reason why most Southern Italians will likely have Greek DNA (and many greeks will likely have Italian DnA) is because Greeks ruled over that part of Italy for a long period of time, and those Greeks were having a lot of back and forths with the phoenicians which was obviously the ancient Mediterranean civilization that originated mainly from Lebanon. Which if from what i'm guessing by your comment your are Lebanese, that would make so much sense why you got italian and Greek dna.

Great breakdown n explanation..by %...

exept if an origin is shared by the two parents ... I could be 4% whatever maybe 2% from my dad and the two others from my mom ...

Angie K not true because you can have hidden DNA that doesn’t show for you but could show for your son, for example

Angie K What is this based on? Doesn’t seem correct at all.

Yes. so many people that do these tests dont know that 🤦🏿‍♀️.

In every generation 50% of the parents genes are thrown out and lost to history. Both parents combined give 46 pairs to the egg, since you only keep 23 pairs, that means 1/2 of your potential genetic history is thrown away!

There were also Northern Canaanites, Arameans, Northern Israelites, Jews, Assyrians, Gutians, Lullubians, Cyrtians, Karduchians, Medians, Armenians and Persians who migrated to Italy for business and education and/or were deported thereto as slaves and war prisioners as a result of the wars between the Roman Empire and the many nations of the Levant, Mesopotamia, Caucasia and Iran.

@AhuraMazda Avestan U dont have even a country so fuck off.

Tiger stop nullshit.

Tiger lol.

Parts of Northern Italy still speak German around the Alps. But watch any episode of Spartacus or other gladiator era age shows... Italians collected people from all over and mixed with them, slaves and non slaves.

Yeh arabs are not phoneicaians the Arabs mixed with Phoenicians . The Arabs are not an unified ethnic group, but a massive mixed identity. The only real Arabs are those from the Gulf states, where they came from. Arabs in Levant, Iraq and North Africa are mostly recognized as Arabized people, whom many of its cultures are not the same to Gulf Arabs except the language. Levant and North Africa, however, had a long contact with ancient civilization, being used to have Roman influences. Arabs came from Arabian peninsula etc gulf . before they invaded other lands and intermarried with the people. Their natural skin tone is mostly tanned olive Hair is usually wavy or curly, but not as curly as Northeast Africans. Eye brows are thicker than most Europeans. Eye lashes are longer than Europeans and the lips are thicker. Levant arabs In the other hand are much lighter than Peninsula Arabs . Due to the crucade, many Lebanese and Palestinians carry European ancestry. Their appearance resembles Southern Europeans, with nose and eyes smaller than most Middle Easterners and the lips look more like Europeans.

@@nooraqueen2716 I didn't say that arabs were phoenicians, I said that both arabs and phoenicians each at their time, with their own methods lets say... Occupied Europe, at least the Mediterranean countries. That's why Mediterraneans might have both arabs and other Mediterranean countries ancestry. Specially Iberians. Do you know what I'm meant now don't you? Have I explained myself ok? If I didn't I'll try again😅. And, as for the rest of the info, was quite interesting, thanks. Best regards from Barcelona!

Maybe you girls are related now that Sofie knows she has English blood!! Can you imagine!

Not only southern Italy, but also wide territories of northern Italy, for about 150 years. There are Spanish influences also in northern dialects (just like French influences obviously).

Conquered by spain? Nope Naples and Sicily had a spanish king (that they were husburgic, so germans) also when they clamed indipendence the kings remains the same surnames. In Europe every kings were related each other. but never were a great imput from spain to italy etnhically

@e y Italians are from Etruscans who was Greek Dorians.

@E These tests try to separate them, but often don't do a great job because the region is so mixed.

True in southern Italy, in northern Italy they are of Celtic origin.

pile333 Italian does exist, in the form of all the populations inhabiting the country since the Iron age (oscans, etruscans, ligureans, veneti etc.) 😊

Etruscans came from what we call today Turkey, according to recent researches.

Other recent researches say that they didn’t have any common cultural traits with populations of that area, so the Turkey guess is debatable.

These test show what one has inherrited not the sum of all of ones ancestors.

There was no Turkey then lol, those were predominantly Greek colonies, like Troy. :) Turkey was established around half of the 15th century. Before that,it was the East Roman or Byzantine Empire for centuries,surely you know that. :)

Central American in myheritage means "Mestizo," not Native American. Myheritage considers her to be 36% Mestizo.

you are confusing Culture Heritage with race . native Americans are all peoples of the American Continent, remember America is not a country but a Continent from Alaska all the way down to Chile in south America just one race same DNA and her DNA test says 36% from the american continent and 64% from the European Continent and yes she is Mix race or Mestizo same thing .

No I'm not. It's saying she is 36% Mestiza. Myheritage defines "Central American" as a mixed race person from Latin America, look it up. Myhertiage uses Mestizo reference samples for the "Central American ethnicity". So she is more than 64% European and less than 36% Indigenous. This guy explains it on a video. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jbieaaVlup2sln0.html&t=

Actually looks quite northern Spanish.

Ctwentysevenj Northern and Southern Spaniards look the same way...

Ctwentysevenj Look for example for Sergio Ramos and Pilar Rubio's family. He is from the south of Spain, blond (dark blond due to the age) with brown eyes. She is from Madrid, brunette with blue eyes. And their children are a mix of them (two blond with blue eyes and one with brown eyes and hair). So there's no difference between Southern and Northern Spanish people... The difference in the peninsula is from west to east. A person from Western Spain is a lot closer to a Portuguese than to a person from Catalonia or the Balearic Islands.

Ctwentysevenj he definitely looks Eastern Mediterranean.

Looks Balkan to me

Aww thank you!
