@@isaiahgowdy7149 I'd Have To Look At It For The Exact Percentages But Cameroon, Benin & Togo (Together) , & Gabon Were The Highest 3 Percentages, w/ Smaller Percentages Of Ghana, Senegal, Nigeria, & Congo.
@@TriniTingz IM SHOCKED YOU ACTUALLY RESPONDED CONSIDERING YOU COMMENTED THAT 2yrs ago😨 but NEVERTHELESS 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥‼️ I’m trying to buy one now!!!! I know I’m a lot of things tho. I just wanna see percentages also just see it confirmed even tho they aren’t exact they are super close. But I was tryna see if I should take either 23andme or Ancestry cause I know sometimes ancestry has a hard time finding Native American blood and that can be a big problem considering my grandads mom was full native( and no I’m not just saying this 😂😂😂 lol she only died a few years back so we seen how she looked and her style. And she always had my grandad wear long ponytails according to my auntie.) but yea I’m leaning more so towards 23andme cause they’re better at the Asian and Native American dna
@@isaiahgowdy7149 Yeah, I've Had Multiple People Tell Me 23&Me Was More Accurate. But I Was Fresh Out Of High School & Broke When I Did It, & Ancestry Had A Deal So That's Who I Went w/. I Already Knew Much Of My Mother's Family History & My Percentages Lined Up Pretty Closely w/ What I Knew, So I Haven't Bothered To Get A 23&Me. Perhaps One Day I'll Get It & Compare The Two For Shits & Giggles. Also, You're Fine. I Like Having These Kinda Conversations.
Its true. But I have a set of Chinese. I have no Idea where this chinese come from. I also have 6% Arawak ancestry. I always assumed my relatives looked Indigenous but I guess its the Chinese too.
marcus fuller I tried telling my mom this. She has 10% Native American and she is from the Caribbean island Aruba which had the Arawaks(a tribe of Tainos). The Caribbean is considered America because it’s near South, Central and North America
Yes its the tribe from Cuba . That's where Columbus went first and enslaved them sent more ships brought Africans. He spread them all over the Carribean .Of course their Spainard blood .
It's all the same race. Taino, Inca, Maya, Cherokee, Sioux, or Navajo. They are all the same Amerindian race. Straight black hair, high cheekbones, aquiline nose, and dark skin.
In the future they may be able to distinguish groups as their reference pool grows. In the past african estimates were very broad and vague as the genetic information these companies had compiled was limited, now those results are becoming more specific and more accurate. Hopefully the same will happen for native american DNA (Native american including all of north, south, central america and the caribbean)
i'm afro latino (mexican) and it gets me mad when people say mexicans have no black in them. damn near all latinos have african in them. i hate when people leave that out. we come in all different colors
That's because they don't. Only small pockets of them do and they are in very specific areas of México such as on the coast of guerrero, Oaxaca and Veracruz. The majority are mixed with native and spanish. Facts are facts.
Your African ancestry is more spread out because Africans are the most genetically diverse people on this planet, sharing DNA across many different African ethnic groups due to the massive Bantu migrations that occurred across the African continent. 👊🏾
Actually it's because the slaves came from many region of Africa and they were purposely mixed with different languages so that they couldn't communicate well to cause a rebellion and they had children together coming from all these different regions
Ramakrishna Shalom Also, it’s important to note that Africans were mixing DNA between ourselves on the African continent and beyond it at least 200,000 years ago. At that point in human history Europeans hadn’t even evolved from their African ancestors yet. They weren’t in existence. An excellent book on this topic is The Journey of Man by Spencer Wells the prominent geneticist from Harvard University.
Taino is Native American, I'm mexican i did mine with ancestry since i am of native descendant it links me to all of the Americas north, south, central. People sometimes think that being native american means being native but to the USA.
They don't want to credit Latin American, Native Americans with any other identity but BROWN. Black Latinos are also supposed to call themselves BROWN. White Latinos are expected to see themselves as BROWN. Only the ones found in the USA who are of non-Latino culture are granted the right to call themselves white, black, or Native American. It is a very racist policy.
Yes your accurate that's why most of our food has a similarly and words and religious practices as well from the Yoruba tribe. Also Bomba assimilate their music too . Love my Nigerians. But also know our Island had other African nation from the Congo that landed as well
@Dr. FDMG Johnson Youre trying so hard to act smart you dont notice youre the one whos not getting it. It says european and then follows up with a detailed breakdown, meaning the spain percentage is a part of the european percentage
My mother is full Puerto Rican and my dad is half and half filipino. I did the ancestry test and my results were: 23% Spain 19% Portugal 18% Southern Philippines 13% Indigenous Puerto Rico 11% Northern Philippines (with communities specifically in Central and Southern Luzon) 6% Cameroon, Congo, and Western Bantu Peoples 3% Senegal 2% European Jewish 1% Ethiopia and Eritrea 1% Mali 1% Nigeria 1% Indigenous Eastern South American 1% Northern Africa It seems that the Ancestry test is more specific than the 23andme one, it was interesting to see your results!
Hey love! I’m Puerto Rican (dad) and African-American (mom) and I got 53% African, 36% European, and 7% Native American with roughly the same subcategories!! 🇵🇷
It's likely that you got the African and European from both your mom and dad and the Native from your dad. It's relatively rare for African Americans to have Native American ancestry (despite what people have been told) besides those who live in certain areas like Oklahoma.
@@godzillamegatron3590 There are not a lot of indigenous people in the Caribbean. There are still elements in the dna, but they were slaughtered or worked to death quite earlier in the islands' histories and because they are islands there was not a continuous flow of new people coming.
@@godzillamegatron3590 They were massacred at the time. Some may have fled to the mountains, but over time they were absorbed into the population. Today, many people who call themselves indio are actually primarily European/African with a small amount of Native.
I took a DNA test and my results were 45% Nigeria, 30% Cameroon, Congo and Southern Bantu People's and 12% Mali, 7% England, Wales, and North Western Europe, 2% Sweden, 2% Senegal, 1% Norway, and 1% Ireland & Scotland.

You are very intelligent woman. You understand but most Latinos. I know even Mexicans who don't know we all are a combination of other regions. Thank you. Continue to wake them up.
I was excited for your results! I actually did both ancestry and 23andMe and I find that ancestry is way more accurate but 23andMe is getting there! 😁, also boricuas actually have a lower percentage of indigenous heritage compared to other Latino people due to the fact that Taínos died out very fast when compared to other native peoples in Latin America. On average boricuas have about 14-18 percent of Taino/Arawak blood In us and taínos also inhabited Cuba, Jamaica, Haiti, DR, Guyana, and northern Venezuela.
Kenneth Joel Ancestry isn’t more accurate for the African part! 23andme is way more. I know because I am Nigerian and we are tested on both, over 20 of us
Latinos really pick up on my black foot features. It's so close to Taino that they think I'm passing for American and denying being Latin. I'm used to it in Miami and New York, but when I went to Grenada where my ex-husband is from... the Venezuelans also assumed that I was one of them. To me, it's just the commonality of what Aboriginal people looked like and the Western Hemisphere.

Nice😊. So I'm Carib & came up with mostly African from all over. Only 1% N American & 6% European. But I'm a researcher so I'm not bias at all. I enjoyed the journey...so I wanted to share this below since I commented on a response. Knowledge is power. And migration (however they got there) is literally proven. Let me add: *Some West African groups call themselves Atlantans. *Tain: a district in Ghana *Tano: Ghana (war) *Tayo Aina: Yoruba name *Arawa: Egba Arawa people *Arawa: Hausa *Locumi Arawa speakers: Benin/ Togo name *AgBemuda: Benin/Oyo surname ...etc.....
The African continent is larger than North America and our west African ancestors came from widely different regions. Often these were on unfriendly terms with each other and spoke different languages. Great video.
Sub-Saharan Africans exhibit more genetic diversity than other population group. Yes, internecine warfare was common in sub-Saharan Africa, and the Europeans exploited this fact to their advantage. Europeans were not running around Africa with nets to catch slaves, they bought black people from other black people.
The American Continent is a single Continent composed of North America, Central America and Southamerica, just like 24 hrs in a day makes morning afternoon and night and Europe is made up of Northern Europe Central Europe , Eastern Europe, Southern Europe and so on. the American Continent is a single Continent.
Taino's are Arawak's and arawaks also lived and live in North and South America. Florida was called Timucua and Arawak lived there and up the east coast. Check out Kurimeo Ahau's youtube channel
Taino and Arawak weren't exactly same people and lets not forget the Caribs nobody seems to mention the Caribs from where the name Caribbean comes from as far as tainos go they are not extinct like people claim the Taino nation has been an established nation of people with their own constitution since 1970 and have been fighting to regain their sacred ritual land which has been used as an amusement park and public place for years now...its a slap in the face for us to say they are extinct.
@@carapo66 Actually Trinidad & Puerto Rico had both Taínos & Kalinagos at some point. But the smaller islands in between them were just Kalinago/Carib.

kiwibrown yeah that’s why I’m saying genetics are interesting. I definitely have African features, just not a dark skin tone. Genes show up in many random ways
Natalia, I did ancestry DNA. I was pleasantly surprised as well. I was 32% Spanish, 26% Portuguese, 15% indigenous Puerto Rican, and 15% combination of several African countries, including Nigeria. It also resulted in a smaller percentage of Ireland/Scotland, France, European Jewish. Needless to say, I was completely pleased with my results. Thank you for sharing your results.
friendly Jew Reason dna companies report Ashkenazi is a that Ashkenazi/Sefaradi are basically the same with minor differences based on whom we mixed with in pre-modern and modern times. We both along with Syrian Jews, Italqim, Romaniote, Non -Sefaradi North African Jews, form the Western Jewish genetic cluster. Our Ashkenazi ancestors from Israel mixed most with Greeks and Romans then also Berbers French Slavs and even a little . Chinese( Silk Road Jewish traders took converted Chinese wives) . Our Sefaradi ancestors , after the Greek and Roman added more Berber and Iberian.
@friendly Jew Lmao they also try to put Black and nigerian for every one. Im half Dominican(white) and half Italian Uruguayan and got over 80% European. My parents are both fully white, But these people tried to put 5% African and 7% Jewish Ashkenazi lol. Just frauds
@@philliparieff7862 Askenzais have majority European ancestry. Alot of them are just european converts, with no blood of Isrealites. Sephardi stayed more true to their bloodline. As well as Mizrahis

Hi I just wanted to give you a heads up on Black History luv! European Countries was Once Black People and It later was Over thrown. This is a little brief INFORMATION However, You can surely look this up in Our History Books, Including Spain. The Spaniards was even Black People too!
No we were not black.. THE MOORS robbed and raped us of our country and culture for 800 years. We just don't sit around bitching and complaining about it like the people of todays generations.. The moors being in Europe is not a compliment and its actually a very bad and negative past that we do not like to talk about. That is why we have so many mosques in spain and Portugal.
Yasmine Rez But the Romans invaded Spain as well and heavily influenced the culture and language. You should embrace your history whether you like it or not.
Yes! Do AncestryDNA too! I would love to see you compare the results. I personally think Ancestry is better because it doesn’t leave any unassigned percentage. Also, I thought you would have more native american because of your phenotype, but hey genetics are crazy! Haha
Im glad you didn't over react of some findings. Puerto Ricans are a mix of Spanish, Taino (native american), african, Dutch, Irish, British, French, Arab and a little of Chinese. In the town of Lares even in the early 70's people use to talk with a r ( a lot of french live there) .
Not a lot of people know that about Lares and Utuado I'm from both places. People don't understand why some Puerto Ricans use the guttural R, but yes, it is French influence that stems from when the French were learning Spanish and could not roll the Rs as the Spanish did.
omg i was so excited to hear the results because i’m puerto rican too. i definitely would like to know what my dna is though since i’m mixed w asian. ugh this stuff is so interesting to me
Do the ancestry one too! I personally did the ancestry one and it was way more specific regional wise. I got a big chunk of European (Portugal, Spain, and France were my biggest ones) and then I got two smaller chunks for African and Native American.
DNA is funny like that. My aunts maiden name is French, legend was her grandfather escaped from Haiti and made it to Trinidad. Turns out he was Dominican. He made up the story, he had 4 wives back home, so on 23 and Me I have a ton of Dominican cousins!
Reading the comments on this page is very shocking. I knew Latinos where a mix but I had no idea they had latinos with such large portions of African ancestry admixture. Thanks for the vid. Very educational
@@ib3scope You are wrong. 90% of the African slave trade went to Latin America with almost half of that to South America. South America has the largest proportion of people of African ancestry in the Americas, not the Caribbean. Also, many places where people consider themselves mestizo are actually triracial. The average person from El Salvador, for example, is about 10%-15% African, even though this is not always acknowledged. There are even large pockets of people of African ancestry in Mexico, especially in Veracruz and Guerrero. La Bamba was an African slave song. DNA actually is showing how much African is a huge part of Latin American history. By the way, there is also a woman from Colombia who is about equal parts European, African and Native American. 1/3, 1/3, 1/3. This is common in Colombia and Venezuela, for example.
@@tsalon5864 No, you're absolutely correct. I'm a bit of a technicalist, and in that sense, don't consider Brazil (Portuguese) as well as many of the former British and Dutch colonial-outposts-turned- countries (Suriname, Belize, Honduras, etc...) to be consistent with being of Latin origin.
Ahmedics82, the Spanish and Portuguese were the first slave traders to the Americas. England got involved last. That's why most of the African slaves went to Latin America and blended in heavily into the population. Brazil, for example, almost received 50% of the slaves alone compared to 5% who went to the United States. There are places in Brazil that have still retained much of the African culture. Latin American music is also heavily influenced by West African music.
This is an example of how close the two styles are to each other. This is an African performer. "Damia Ft. Bonga Kisselenguenha- PROJECTO - MANEIRA ANGOLANA"
It’s interesting that they mention Malta. The people of Malta are actually a mix as well with roots from Spain, France, the Middle East. Their language is a mix of Spanish, French, and Arabic as well.
Natalia FINALLY a Caribbean Latin sistah that gets & can relay the true ethnicity mixture of Puerto-Ricans. As a New Yorker it's refreshing 2 hear an educated Puerto-Rican who doesn't deny their roots or is in denial about they only want 2 associate w/the colonizer. Who BTW denies them from identifying themselves as Spaniard because they are Blanco folks and they make it very clear to Caribbean Latin folks that visit Spain. Once a race mixes which occurs in every location of the universe since the beginning of time. You are beautiful your looks show all 3 ethnicities. If I may suggest to you in the future when you describe African folks that were forced 2 inhabit the Caribbean, North & South America. Please consider using the term "Africans who were forced into slavery" opposed 2 saying "African slave". I hope you understand the correction I'm pointing out regarding the term "African slaves" is insulting 2 our ancestors & the horrific horrors of being enslaved. They had an identity prior 2 being captured on the mother land soil. So I reference our ancestors as "Africans who were forced into slavery" acknowledging that they were not just slaves. I hope you get my point & perhaps agree. I do love that our Cuban & Puerto-Rican cousins as I reference us folks from the diaspora lucky that you guys were allowed 2 keep the music of the motherland. In America we were not allowed 2 keep the music because racists en-slavers knew that music was not just for entertainment but communication. The band any drums so that they would not be able 2 communicate escapes. I love 2 salsa or watch Cuban & Puerto Rican's get down ya'll do it the best...also regarding South America the Columbians get down also. Speaking of getting down w/some Salsa I'm looking for my Marc Anthony music!! This New York sistah LOVES me some Marc Anthony SMILE!!! PEACE
Fellow Puertorican. Mine was similar. Off the top of my head it was about 53% European (Iberian Peninsula/Greece), 35% Western Africa, 11% Native American and the rest traces of English and Asian but not worth mentioning bc the low percentage (1% or less)

Hey, Natalia, so I did my 23andme test around the same time you did, got my results last week, and only knowing that I was 50/50 PR and African, I got oddly similar results to yours, the European aspect with 20% Spanish/Portuguese, the 38.2% Sub-Saharan African, 9.3% Native and 2.8% North African. Idk, feels kinda strange, but that's just me, qué piensas
This isn’t odd at all boss, Puerto Ricans vary heavily especially by regions. Natalia only has 2% more native than me, so I’m 10% but my european is dead 73%
Why is it strange??? Because youre heavily mixed with African?? You do realize God never thought of creating a latino or hispanic, he only created black Africans?? Its scientifically and biblically documented, you should be happy to be mixed with African.
Hello, thank you for sharing your results! I am writing from Valparaíso, Chile and I took the Genographic Project test (NatGeo) and then I transferred teh results to the Family Tree DNA. The results were quite similar, with some differences. According to the Genographic Project, I am 52% southern Europe, 26% Native American, 7% Eastern Asia, 7% Great Britain and Ireland, 2% Northen Africa and 2% Central Asia. In turn, according to the Family Tree DNA, I am 50% European (Iberian), 39% New World (the Americas), broken down into 35% of North and Central America and 4% South America, and 4% West Middle East.
let me explain to u something about native american percentage, when u see 1.9% for native american it does mean that it is a very longtime ago ancestor, because after 8 génération of mixing couple you can only see 1.9% native taïno, and at contrary the african dna is much more recent that's why it seems to be more
If you have more family members take the test, your results tweak and become more defined. My sister had a couple of regions I didn't have and my brother's results made my percentages change. And it tweaked again when I got my parents to do it!
I am from Nigeria. My dna puts my paternal ancestry in East Africa, 50,000 years ago. I would think this explains the "broadly" category for you. I just met my Puerto Rican sister.

I might try it though!
Darker doesn't always mean more African and looser curls and light skin doesn't always mean less African.... I have darker family that are less African than some of my lighter family.

@@TriniTingz IM SHOCKED YOU ACTUALLY RESPONDED CONSIDERING YOU COMMENTED THAT 2yrs ago😨 but NEVERTHELESS 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥‼️ I’m trying to buy one now!!!! I know I’m a lot of things tho. I just wanna see percentages also just see it confirmed even tho they aren’t exact they are super close. But I was tryna see if I should take either 23andme or Ancestry cause I know sometimes ancestry has a hard time finding Native American blood and that can be a big problem considering my grandads mom was full native( and no I’m not just saying this 😂😂😂 lol she only died a few years back so we seen how she looked and her style. And she always had my grandad wear long ponytails according to my auntie.) but yea I’m leaning more so towards 23andme cause they’re better at the Asian and Native American dna
Also sorry I talked your head all the way off😬

Its true. But I have a set of Chinese. I have no Idea where this chinese come from. I also have 6% Arawak ancestry. I always assumed my relatives looked Indigenous but I guess its the Chinese too.
Taino is considered native American
marcus fuller I tried telling my mom this. She has 10% Native American and she is from the Caribbean island Aruba which had the Arawaks(a tribe of Tainos). The Caribbean is considered America because it’s near South, Central and North America
Yes its the tribe from Cuba . That's where Columbus went first and enslaved them sent more ships brought Africans. He spread them all over the Carribean .Of course their Spainard blood .
@@floridababe05248 hello
It's all the same race. Taino, Inca, Maya, Cherokee, Sioux, or Navajo. They are all the same Amerindian race. Straight black hair, high cheekbones, aquiline nose, and dark skin.
In the future they may be able to distinguish groups as their reference pool grows. In the past african estimates were very broad and vague as the genetic information these companies had compiled was limited, now those results are becoming more specific and more accurate. Hopefully the same will happen for native american DNA (Native american including all of north, south, central america and the caribbean)
i'm afro latino (mexican) and it gets me mad when people say mexicans have no black in them. damn near all latinos have african in them. i hate when people leave that out. we come in all different colors

@@achi191 you implied it

Your African ancestry is more spread out because Africans are the most genetically diverse people on this planet, sharing DNA across many different African ethnic groups due to the massive Bantu migrations that occurred across the African continent. 👊🏾
NKosi* I agree including massive migration into the majority of the countries in the world. Keep up the good work.
Actually it's because the slaves came from many region of Africa and they were purposely mixed with different languages so that they couldn't communicate well to cause a rebellion and they had children together coming from all these different regions
Ramakrishna Shalom Also, it’s important to note that Africans were mixing DNA between ourselves on the African continent and beyond it at least 200,000 years ago. At that point in human history Europeans hadn’t even evolved from their African ancestors yet. They weren’t in existence. An excellent book on this topic is The Journey of Man by Spencer Wells the prominent geneticist from Harvard University.
Africa genes are dominant too all others.
@@paulturner6334 facts ✊🏾✊🏾
Taino is Native American, I'm mexican i did mine with ancestry since i am of native descendant it links me to all of the Americas north, south, central. People sometimes think that being native american means being native but to the USA.
My argument exactly when ppl discriminate against Mexicans, Hondurans etc
They just migrated south after getting to America.
They don't want to credit Latin American, Native Americans with any other identity but BROWN. Black Latinos are also supposed to call themselves BROWN. White Latinos are expected to see themselves as BROWN. Only the ones found in the USA who are of non-Latino culture are granted the right to call themselves white, black, or Native American.

I was excited for your results! I actually did both ancestry and 23andMe and I find that ancestry is way more accurate but 23andMe is getting there! 😁, also boricuas actually have a lower percentage of indigenous heritage compared to other Latino people due to the fact that Taínos died out very fast when compared to other native peoples in Latin America. On average boricuas have about 14-18 percent of Taino/Arawak blood In us and taínos also inhabited Cuba, Jamaica, Haiti, DR, Guyana, and northern Venezuela.
I did both, as well. Once I had most of my tree built, I agree 100% that ancestry is more accurate.
Kenneth Joel Ancestry isn’t more accurate for the African part! 23andme is way more. I know because I am Nigerian and we are tested on both, over 20 of us
Latinos really pick up on my black foot features. It's so close to Taino that they think I'm passing for American and denying being Latin. I'm used to it in Miami and New York, but when I went to Grenada where my ex-husband is from... the Venezuelans also assumed that I was one of them. To me, it's just the commonality of what Aboriginal people looked like and the Western Hemisphere.

The African continent is larger than North America and our west African ancestors came from widely different regions. Often these were on unfriendly terms with each other and spoke different languages. Great video.
Sub-Saharan Africans exhibit more genetic diversity than other population group. Yes, internecine warfare was common in sub-Saharan Africa, and the Europeans exploited this fact to their advantage. Europeans were not running around Africa with nets to catch slaves, they bought black people from other black people.

Im glad you didn't over react of some findings. Puerto Ricans are a mix of Spanish, Taino (native american), african, Dutch, Irish, British, French, Arab and a little of Chinese.

Yees, yes, yes!
Not a lot of people know that about Lares and Utuado I'm from both places. People don't understand why some Puerto Ricans use the guttural R, but yes, it is French influence that stems from when the French were learning Spanish and could not roll the Rs as the Spanish did.
omg i was so excited to hear the results because i’m puerto rican too. i definitely would like to know what my dna is though since i’m mixed w asian. ugh this stuff is so interesting to me
I made my test a few days ago:
70%-European
18%-Native Taíno
10%-Sub Saharan African
3%-Nor African African
Im from PR too
Do the ancestry one too! I personally did the ancestry one and it was way more specific regional wise. I got a big chunk of European (Portugal, Spain, and France were my biggest ones) and then I got two smaller chunks for African and Native American.
I'm Puerto Rican and proud I consider myself a mutt and proud I'm light skinned and red hair and green eyes a true mutt 😄😄
Speak like someone who has integrity and education. Thank you!
Captives were also taken from Madagascar to North, Central, South America and the Caribbean and your Southeast African DNA may come from there.
Yes, you look Cuban. 🇨🇺. That was my initial thought when I 1st saw you.
Lmaoo how cubans look?
def not. never seen a cuban that looks like her
She looks black... End of story, Whites see black not Cubans😋😋😋
@@aliceransom3483 F whites I'm a Spanish Creole Proud from Louisiana ✊🏾🇪🇦.
these comment selections are pure nasty. she just gave her opinion yall need to chill tf out
Whatever you are, you're GORGEOUS and have beautiful facial features. 💜
I found another new Puerto Rican youtuber:
Melanie's Fashion Room! Love you Natalia 🇵🇷💗
Did u do 23andMe also ?
DNA is funny like that. My aunts maiden name is French, legend was her grandfather escaped from Haiti and made it to Trinidad. Turns out he was Dominican. He made up the story, he had 4 wives back home, so on 23 and Me I have a ton of Dominican cousins!
Funny 😂
I respect ✊ the fact you express your African roots seriously
Puerto Rico all the way.
I was shocked that I had Puerto Rican family around 😉
Reading the comments on this page is very shocking. I knew Latinos where a mix but I had no idea they had latinos with such large portions of African ancestry admixture. Thanks for the vid. Very educational
They don't. It's very much isolated to specific Caribbean islands
@@ib3scope You are wrong. 90% of the African slave trade went to Latin America with almost half of that to South America. South America has the largest proportion of people of African ancestry in the Americas, not the Caribbean. Also, many places where people consider themselves mestizo are actually triracial. The average person from El Salvador, for example, is about 10%-15% African, even though this is not always acknowledged. There are even large pockets of people of African ancestry in Mexico, especially in Veracruz and Guerrero. La Bamba was an African slave song. DNA actually is showing how much African is a huge part of Latin American history. By the way, there is also a woman from Colombia who is about equal parts European, African and Native American. 1/3, 1/3, 1/3. This is common in Colombia and Venezuela, for example.
@@tsalon5864 No, you're absolutely correct. I'm a bit of a technicalist, and in that sense, don't consider Brazil (Portuguese) as well as many of the former British and Dutch colonial-outposts-turned- countries (Suriname, Belize, Honduras, etc...) to be consistent with being of Latin origin.
Ahmedics82, the Spanish and Portuguese were the first slave traders to the Americas. England got involved last. That's why most of the African slaves went to Latin America and blended in heavily into the population. Brazil, for example, almost received 50% of the slaves alone compared to 5% who went to the United States. There are places in Brazil that have still retained much of the African culture. Latin American music is also heavily influenced by West African music.
This is an example of how close the two styles are to each other. This is an African performer. "Damia Ft. Bonga Kisselenguenha- PROJECTO - MANEIRA ANGOLANA"
It’s interesting that they mention Malta. The people of Malta are actually a mix as well with roots from Spain, France, the Middle East. Their language is a mix of Spanish, French, and Arabic as well.
Along with the surprising update they just did, I got 65% Central African 31% Euro and 4% Arabic.
Natalia FINALLY a Caribbean Latin sistah that gets & can relay the true ethnicity mixture of Puerto-Ricans. As a New Yorker it's refreshing 2 hear an educated Puerto-Rican who doesn't deny their roots or is in denial about they only want 2 associate w/the colonizer. Who BTW denies them from identifying themselves as Spaniard because they are Blanco folks and they make it very clear to Caribbean Latin folks that visit Spain. Once a race mixes which occurs in every location of the universe since the beginning of time. You are beautiful your looks show all 3 ethnicities. If I may suggest to you in the future when you describe African folks that were forced 2 inhabit the Caribbean, North & South America. Please consider using the term "Africans who were forced into slavery" opposed 2 saying "African slave". I hope you understand the correction I'm pointing out regarding the term "African slaves" is insulting 2 our ancestors & the horrific horrors of being enslaved. They had an identity prior 2 being captured on the mother land soil. So I reference our ancestors as "Africans who were forced into slavery" acknowledging that they were not just slaves. I hope you get my point & perhaps agree. I do love that our Cuban & Puerto-Rican cousins as I reference us folks from the diaspora lucky that you guys were allowed 2 keep the music of the motherland. In America we were not allowed 2 keep the music because racists en-slavers knew that music was not just for entertainment but communication. The band any drums so that they would not be able 2 communicate escapes. I love 2 salsa or watch Cuban & Puerto Rican's get down ya'll do it the best...also regarding South America the Columbians get down also. Speaking of getting down w/some Salsa I'm looking for my Marc Anthony music!! This New York sistah LOVES me some Marc Anthony SMILE!!! PEACE
Fellow Puertorican. Mine was similar. Off the top of my head it was about 53% European (Iberian Peninsula/Greece), 35% Western Africa, 11% Native American and the rest traces of English and Asian but not worth mentioning bc the low percentage (1% or less)
Girl, I know so many Puerto Ricans who have done the DNA tests
Soooooo many of us have the the same DNA but but we all come from the best
Yesssss!!!!!! YABUCOA!!!! I feel like we’re family and I don’t even know you 🤣🤣🤣 Wepppppaaaa 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻 Puerto Rico 🇵🇷....by the way my family is from “El Aguacate, Yabucoa”...just in case 😉😋
Like Frfr you inspire me to learn spainish keep grinding 💪🏽💯💚‼️ period Pooh
very cool results! 💕 i also just recent found about my ancestry (video on my channel) and it was so cool finding out my ancestors are from all over the world! 🥰🗺
44%European 23% african native American 12% 4% Asian
We practically have the same results!!! This is SO COOOOOOLLLLL!!
We have almost the exact same DNA but I’m Colombian and Dominican lol that’s crazy
Most latino Hispanics are of African indigenous and European descent some are more African some more indigenous and some more European
Guayama in the house woohoo!!!🇵🇷✊🏽
It's refreshing to hear someone who actually understands.
Hey, Natalia, so I did my 23andme test around the same time you did, got my results last week, and only knowing that I was 50/50 PR and African, I got oddly similar results to yours, the European aspect with 20% Spanish/Portuguese, the 38.2% Sub-Saharan African, 9.3% Native and 2.8% North African. Idk, feels kinda strange, but that's just me, qué piensas
This isn’t odd at all boss, Puerto Ricans vary heavily especially by regions. Natalia only has 2% more native than me, so I’m 10% but my european is dead 73%
Why is it strange??? Because youre heavily mixed with African?? You do realize God never thought of creating a latino or hispanic, he only created black Africans?? Its scientifically and biblically documented, you should be happy to be mixed with African.
Hello, thank you for sharing your results! I am writing from Valparaíso, Chile and I took the Genographic Project test (NatGeo) and then I transferred teh results to the Family Tree DNA. The results were quite similar, with some differences. According to the Genographic Project, I am 52% southern Europe, 26% Native American, 7% Eastern Asia, 7% Great Britain and Ireland, 2% Northen Africa and 2% Central Asia. In turn, according to the Family Tree DNA, I am 50% European (Iberian), 39% New World (the Americas), broken down into 35% of North and Central America and 4% South America, and 4% West Middle East.
What’re your X chromosomes mixed with ?
Aww Natalia such a cool video. I love this!! You have a great TH-cam personality. I’m sure your channel will blow up at one point.
let me explain to u something about native american percentage, when u see 1.9% for native american it does mean that it is a very longtime ago ancestor, because after 8 génération of mixing couple you can only see 1.9% native taïno, and at contrary the african dna is much more recent that's why it seems to be more
I dont think a lot of people get the higher the percentage the more recent the lineage. I am glad you brought that up.
You are right. It only covers 300 years
None of this shocks me.
If you have more family members take the test, your results tweak and become more defined. My sister had a couple of regions I didn't have and my brother's results made my percentages change. And it tweaked again when I got my parents to do it!
I am from Nigeria. My dna puts my paternal ancestry in East Africa, 50,000 years ago. I would think this explains the "broadly" category for you. I just met my Puerto Rican sister.
This girl is smart. A lot of Hispanics and Latinos... ppl in general are ignorant when it comes to history, race, ethnicity, nationality and cultural background
I'm Franco-Latino 🇫🇷 and most Americans are ignorant to the term Latino and culture! Americans tend to associate the Latino culture of only Spanish culture smh! Latino is the umbrella term for any persons in the Americas of colonial Latin decent such as: France, Portugal, Spain, Italy and Romania.
Ninpo Budo if you’re mean America as in north, central and South America then yes. But if you’re just talking about the USA then you’re wrong because there’s plenty of Latinos who are ignorant on this subject matter. Plenty of TH-cam videos displaying their ignorance and I’ve witnessed it in reality.
@@cortion730 Fair enough!
Most people in America don't realize that French-Canada is Latino (Franco-Latino) or Louisana Creoles, Cajuns, Guadolpe, Hatti, Dominica, Martinique, St. Luica to name a few Franco-latinos.
Luscophone-Latinos Portugese 🇵🇹 culture/heritage *Brazil and Luscophone-Latino Arubians and islands connected*
Itialphone-Latinos Itialian culture/custom *They have Itialphone-Latino communities in Venezuela and Argentina!*
Alot of people don't understand this
Natalia....you definitely need your own talk show or realty show.....you definitely shine.....
This is sooooo interesting!! I would love to do mines! Both of my parent are black, my dads side has a lighter complexion with fine, loose coily hair, did ancestry and somewhere down the line we were white and French (Louisiana ppl, I’m from Texas though) my moms side is more African.. idk what I am!! I want to try this soooo bad!!! I don’t see why we have to pay for it though 🙄 wipe out our history, separate us, then make us pay to find out where we came from like they’d really know.. if it was that easy we’d be able to find this out right.! I might try it though!
Sounds like your creole, Beyonce has similar ancestory history. You should research on TH-cam to see how the that came about.
Darker doesn't always mean more African and looser curls and light skin doesn't always mean less African.... I have darker family that are less African than some of my lighter family. Genes is a funny thing but yes, go ahead and get the test done girl, lol. I really enjoyed and was surprised by my results. 😊
I did ancestry and my results were shocking 35% Cameroon and some Irish and Scottish
Girl at 14% Native American you qualify for a cash payment. That’s a lot of NA DNA! ✨✨✨✨
I'm Italian and black and some people confuse me with Puerto Rican , it makes sense because Puertoricans are just mixed people.
There's fully black and white Puerto Ricans Puerto Rican is not a race neither is Italian by the way
Puerto Ricans can be any race, including mixed.
@@Dominican1923she never said italian was a race
