Thanks for all the comments guys - keep 'em coming! JUST TO CONFIRM, I do now know that siblings do not necessarily have the same DNA :). Thanks to everyone who loved to make that clear to me, haha. Sorry for getting it wrong here. =]
I am a jat but that theory was hogwash created by the British, Jats were pastoralists from the Sindh region, who settled down in the Punjab region, and became a community of farmers.
Yes, but if even one of them mixed with an Indian and that Indian somehow married into a Punjabi family somewhere, or had a kid (who was part British) who did then you have your answer.
Finally an Indian DNA test, even though as the most ancient civilizations and advanced country it's very diverse. I'm kind of glad they're not usually like that. LOVE you accepting overall results yet open, funny and chill too.
Great video guys!! I'm African American and I have Melanesian ancestry as well. I also have East Africa, which is rare for African Americans. South Asians seem to have Melanesian ancestry also. I think there's a connection here. Ancestry DNA tests don't go back far enough though. They calculate our more recent ancestry. Again, great video!
It's interesting watching this. I just got mine back. Im technically Indian from the Fiji islands. N my mix was 80% south Asian, 12% east Asian, 6% malenesian 2% Polynesian. Interesting to compare my results since I was really confused about the later two percentages but it might be common in people of Indian decent.
This might come as a shock but Melanesians, particularly the Aboriginals of Australia, are of direct Indian lineage. Fijians sprouted from these people, intermixing with the Lapita Polynesian people who later settled the east of the Pacific
Let me explain this. India had a series of migrations. The original inhabitants on the subcontinent were Austro-melanesian, negroid and mongoloids (depending on which part of the subcontinent). They were the hunter-gatherers. The first mass wave of immigration was from the Persian Gulf 10,000 years ago - Neolithic Iranian farmers (Caucasoid population), who spoke Dravidian languages. They mixed with the natives. This became known as ASI (Ancestral South Indians). 4000 years ago, Indo-Aryans came from Central Asia and northern Iran (another Caucasoid population). They mixed with the existing ASI people. The resulting population became known as ANI (Ancestral North Indians). EVERY person from the subcontinent is a mixture of ASI and ANI. Meaning EVERY Desi is indigenous to the Indian subcontinent. Northwest Indians have a higher percentage of ANI for obvious reasons. Subsequent invasions came from Persians, Arabs, Greeks (including Macedonians), Scythians, Turks, Mughals/Mongolians,..but their influence on genetics was minimal or non-existent. Later came some colonial forces - British, Portuguese, French, Dutch. The British had a significant influence on genetics, as one of their aim was to dilute the Indian race and turn it into Anglo-Indian. Those who lived married lives were known as Anglo-Indians. As for those who got raped - well, tough life! Punjab was a strong-hold for the British, and given that they had to pass through a lot of farms to get from place to place and a lot of those farmers were Jatts, what do you think happened to the Jatt women??? Of course they got raped. That's where the British genes for Jatts come from. Not from Scythians.
I live in USA but was born in north india near punjab/haryana/delhi in Hindu brahmin family, I know that my last 5 generations lived in the same 50 mile radius, My DNA results are very close to @prem_fresh like 90% south asia, 7% central asia and 2% Melanasia. interesting stuff.
iam south asian like yourself (British Bangladeshi/bengali)..i had 70 percent south asian ,19 percent East asian!! ..pacific islander,melanasia ,small percentage of native America, and Polynesia! ..actually there was alot of mixing with Indians and melanasians at one point and polynesian ! I guess you have similiar ancestry to mine! But but you have a great mix !
Varoon Nepalese have South Asian with significant East Asian DNA, just like Northeast Indians (in the seven sister states). Bengalis also have some East Asian DNA because they're close to the area of Nepal and seven sister states.
Siblings share 50% of their DNA so one half of your mums DNA you might have received but not your sibling, which they might have the other "half" of your mums DNA same for your dad's. that means that your sibling can have different regions in their DNA obviously nothing is conclusive in DNA but some theories are more likely if you take a close look at history and study some of the links between these places; the british in your DNA is probably from the British Raj. The central Asia is probably from all past close relations and proximity with India. Quite a bit of indians especially from coastal regions of india have Melanesian and/or Polynesian this is because the Melanesians were people that migrated in and around east Asia(China, Japan, Indonesia etc..) and finally settled around the islands near Australia but they happened to have passed through India when migrating and also Madagascar hope that helps clear stuff up a bit
Nope ,wrong the European is NOT from the British scientists have already concluded that the British had little impact on the DNA of the subcontinent ,they never mixed with Indians ..heck ,most brits in uk don't even mix Now ..the British were there to loot ,steal and do their brutal business not to mate with the people .thr euro dns is likely to come from the steppes and is linked to the ancient indo European people ..some jats score very high levels of north east European /Caucasus /central /west Asia DNA this can all be explained by looking at the rich history of the Indus Valley civilisation ..Also,given the north west Indias proximity to west Eurasia it's not surprising ..jats for the most part have components that reflect their ancient info European lineage and cluster closely with several mountain groups of India and Pakistan who two have have a complex genetic history especially given that they were part of the silk route
Very interesting, thanks for sharing your results. I took the test not that long ago myself and got 71% European (44% English/GB, 18% Portuguese, 9% Swedish/Scandinavian), 16% South Asian (not overly specific but has to be Indian, etc.), 7% Pacific Islander, 1% West African and around 5% "other" (no idea what this is). Not sure how accurate this is, but it's definitely thrown up some very interesting ideas for me to consider!
Hello Prem! Our family is from Andhra Pradesh, long story short the place where my ancestors lived there were Brits and when I took the test I had 25%British of which 15% english, 7%Scottish, 3% Irish and 5% melanesians and the rest 70% south asian!
omg seriously nothing to be proud of being asshole too. people are mixed and its no big deal. indians married british people during colonization. its just a fact. it could also be before colonization too.
There was a migration out of Africa, the first one, that traveled in a crescent up from the horn of Africa to the southern tip of India over to Indochina, down through the Philippines to New Guinea and Australia. The ones that remained in India are probably the ancestors of the people you call Dravidians. The next wave became the people some call Aryans. Whether or not the locus of those people was in India or central Asia is the question at the heart of the Aryan invasion of India debate. If they were centered in India then the Aryans invaded out, not in. To me it's interesting how much the look of humans changed in only 10,000 years or so, between migrations. They seemed to have become horse riders in that time as well.
Bula (Hi in Fijian 🇫🇯) Prem and Jasmine, I'm Fijian and i believe that my ancestors migrated out East Africa thru south Asia tens of 1000s of years ago. I also believe that some of those descents are still in India like the Bonda tribes of Odisha in East India (not the Siddis tho, as they're more recent). Therefore, there would have been some 'cross pollinating' at the time and could be where you guys got the Melanesian portion of your DNA from.🤔
The Mughals were from central asia. Lots of indians have a little blood from them. The pacific islander thing is because some tribal groups in india are more closely related to papuans/madagascans than the rest of indians. Dates back a very very long way
I am 53% Western European which is my mom she is half Polish half Finnish and Eastern European which is my dad he is half Czech half Moldovan then I am 3% Nepalian. But I speak fluent French because I live in Belgium for most my life. Then I moved to Upper East Side Manhattan NYC where I learned English..
Well India and Australia were a massive continent called Gondwana so its understandable why we could share some DNA with Pacific Islander and Aboriginal people
Maninder Bajwa Nah dude, I think that Central Asian is cause of Aryan attack on Indus Valley civilization. We definitely didn’t migrate from afGUNistan.
After watching your video, which is only 6% central Asian, I think I should be surprised, because I got 40% central asian 😱 also surprisingly I am 7% Scandinavian and 2% Finnish/Siberian.
Actually its normal you have genes from central Asia or Iran. During history many people migrated to India from that region spcially after mongol invasion till age of mughal empi
its easy to say by looking at you guys. She look like Indian with a little british touch, and you look like an afghan, iran, pakistan with a very little british touch. there is nothing to be proud about 2%. it means one of your maternal great great grand mother had a relationship with a britsh male.
Indigenous Malenesian & Fiji have South Asian ancestry & not the other way round. Either way it is literally same, but migration happened from India to Malaysia & Indonesia & then Australia (aboriginals)
2% Great Britain could mean you have 1 full British ancestor 5-6 generations up.. thats not very far back. Lots of Brits in India back then about 150 years ago
Zafarnama why then is that the traditional Brahmins and Kshatriyas have European features and absolutely different from the other castes? Some of the Brahmins are just pale white skinned just like the Europeans
Nice results im punjabi from pakistan and i got 76% south asian 14% west 9% central asian. I still need to upload my results in the other dna results websites does any one know a good one for south asians
Following the Aryan migration theory, initially India was colonized by the same group of people who then made the journey all the way to Australia and other Pacific Islands. Then the Aryans from the Caucasus came into the Subcontinent in large numbers. So the more South you go in India, you'll find people with more similar DNA to Pacific Islanders or Aborigines and also more similar skin features.
your ancestors may have migrted from pakistan or a region in pakistan if you are punjabi it could be city of lahore,peshawarand of pakistan or even kabul or kandhar in afghanistan usually pakistanis contain most dna of central asian descent in any country out of central asian region
Central Asian refers to Iran and a lot of the "-stan" countries. E.g. Tajikstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan etc. This make sense because you guys look North Indian and North India was ruled by the Mughals (Persians) to thats probably why! :)
I'm a Punjabi Jatt and my test results reveal that I'm 58% Central Asian, 25% South Asian, 9% British and 7% Turkish. A big shocker!!! Where did the British/Turkish come from?
Indian history has a lot of migration. Punjab is a reigon that had a lot of migration due to its location, farmland etc. Look up Indian history it is very rich and long, since the earliest written record in history of a religion is Hinduism.
as a historian who studied south asian people i can say you are not indian ,you are Pakistani ,grewals are jatts and had 56 villages in layyalpur/faisalabad before partition and moved to india afterward, regions can't be change so don'y tell me pakistan ws india .no it was not punjab was always punjab not india
You both are soo Awesome and happy 😊. Love your attitude and acceptance...your Polynesian Ancestry % and goal to be related to the “Rock” was the BEST! 🤔🙇🏻♀️🔑💗👩🏻💻✊🏽
don't get confused researchers are now coming around the view that Aryan migration happened from India to all over the world so this European or Central Asian bits but you are Aryan indigenous to India there is nothing like south Asia it is Indian subcontinent
you indians are desperate being aryan. Iranians have caucasic DNA mostly. Like armenians, anatolians etc. central asian means turkic. europeans also migrated from caucasus that doesnt mean they share caucasic DNA same goes for indians.
Not everyone originally spawned from Sub-Saharan Africans. Most people who aren't African didn't spawn from them. The multi-regional theory looks good now that I've been a geneticist for years.
Actually, males and females can get different results as women cam trace maternal lines and men can trace more the paternal genes. Came across your channel by random chance and you two seem like fun. Will likely check out more videos!
fraz waraich Punjabis regardless of whether they are in India and Pakistan seem to have similar DNA results - majority South Asian of course, a lil Central Asia and a tiny bit of European. Funny how many Pakistanis and Indian Muslims are brainwashed into thinking they have a lot of Arab and Persian DNA.
All indian-Pakistanis have 2 to 4% Polynesian genes. The reason being that the settlers of Polynesian islands passed through indian subcontinent. Some stayed on here. As the hindu civilisation extended all over Indian subcontinent to Afghanistan and parts of Central Asia so some central asian genes is always found.
You would have different ethnicity percentages because your parents make up 200% of "x" (mystery), and you only get 100% of that 200, and that 100 may not be the same for your sister. In fact you can get the exact opposite of each other if you are mixed. Hence some twins where one is white and one is black.
I am not very satisfied with the genetic testing of South Asian people.One billion people living in 3%landmass.While European countries genetic break down is country wise likewise a huge country like India should have a regional genetic break-up.
Forget about compositions in DNA, your's smile is 100% Indian. If you study the Mahabharata, Ramayana and our available histories with academic interests, you will find mention of marriages between different demographics, races were very common. Migrations as well as immigration of races were very frequent. Our DNA is the living documentary of our past history.
I wouldn't be really happy to find great Britain in my bloodline. I'd just feel really sorry and sad for my that great grandparent who probably had to go through that experience of violation.
Snow 123 jatts are not central Asians . they are Indians , whose ancestors got fucked by some invading central Asian army . hence , the tiny 4-5% central Asian . Trust me when I say , there are people in the south way more light skinned , with striking Caucasian features that doesn't mean they came from central Asia .
Jatts are a hybrid of Central Asian, the original Aryans (Indo-European peoples) and whoever lived there before that. Most Jatts are not only 4-5% Central Asian. Punjabi Jatts share very little genetically with lower case and South Indians. And no, there are not "way more light skinned" people in the South. There are some light skinned people in the South but not "way more" with "striking Caucasian features". The reason why many South Indians might be light-skinned is to a variety of reasons but it's also related to the fact that they're also part Indo-European. They're just less so than most North Indians.
Jats have pretty diverse DNA results it's pretty fascinating how varied their results are the fact that the jat ethnic group has many sub groups will plays its part in the diversity of those people
wayne h 3 days ago you are not correct .the Pallavas (Parthians) ruled all of Southern India and a branch of the Hittites settled on the West Coast of India ,Southern India had strong trade ties with Rome,Greece,Yemen,Oman,and Nabateans en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Kerala quote"In the last centuries BCE the coast became important to the Greeks and Romans for its spices, especially black pepper. The Cheras had trading links with China, West Asia, Egypt, Greece, and the Roman Empire. In foreign-trade circles the region was known as Male or Malabar.[21] Muziris, Berkarai, and Nelcynda were among the principal ports at that time.[22] The value of Rome's annual trade with the region was estimated at around 50,000,000 sesterces;[23] contemporary Sangam literature describes Roman ships coming to Muziris in Kerala, laden with gold to exchange for pepper. One of the earliest western traders to use the monsoon winds to reach Kerala was Eudoxus of Cyzicus, around 118 or 166 BCE, under the patronage of Ptolemy VIII, king of the Hellenistic Ptolemaic dynasty in Egypt. Roman establishments in the port cities of the region, such as a temple of Augustus and barracks for garrisoned Roman soldiers, are marked in the Tabula Peutingeriana; the only surviving map of the Roman cursus publicus. wikipedia Merchants from West Asia and Southern Europe established coastal posts and settlements in Kerala. < from same atricle Haplogroup J2a-M410 in India was found to be largely confined to the castes[20] with no occurrence in the tribals, but a new study has found it at higher percentages (10%) among the Tharu indigenous people of Terai, Nepal.[31] In India, the J2 haplogroup is almost absent from tribals. Haplogroup J2b is associated with the Neolithic Greeks that spread agriculture. It has been found in the Dravidian middle classes in high frequencies also in the Northwest of India.The frequency of J2 is higher in South Indian castes (19%) than in North Indian castes (11%) or Pakistan (12%).[20] Haplogroup J was found to be even more common in India's Shia Muslim community, of which 28.7% belong to haplogroup J, with 13.7% in J2a-M410, 10.6% in J1 and 4.4% in J2b.[32] The high variance of J2b2 in South Asia indicates a probable pre-Neolithic migration.(wikipedia) A significant presence of J2 (J2b2+J2a) was detected in western and south-western India (the highest being 21% among Dravidian middle castes, followed by upper castes, 18.6%, and lower castes 14%; Sengupta et al. 2006 J2 is widely believed to be associated with the spread of agriculture from Mesopotamia.[1][9]"The main spread of J2 into the Mediterranean area is thought to have coincided with the expansion of agricultural people's during the Neolithic period."[2] The age of J2 has been estimated as 18,500 +/- 3,500 years ago.[1] Its distribution, centered in Western Asia and Southeastern Europe, its association with the presence of Neolithic archaeological artifacts, such as figurines and painted pottery,[21] and its association with annual precipitation have been interpreted as evidence that J2, and in particular its J2a-M410 subclade belonged to the agricultural innovators who followed the rainfall.[22] However, Di Giacomo stressed the role of post-Neolithic migratory phenomenon, specifically that of the Ancient Greeks, as also being important in the dispersal of Hg J2.[7] Haplogroup J2b on the other hand is associated with the Neolithic Greeks that spread agriculture. It has been found in the Dravidian middle classes in high frequencies also in the Northwest of India.
I am a Grewal too and mine showed 67% South Asian, 9% Greek, 3% central Asian and a breakdown of Melanesian and other European... This means Our own Grewal Clan is not as much alike either... I am not sure about this DNA thing either anymore...
South Asian ? It's so diverse ethnically and racially, how does one even grade such a vast genetic coding into just South Asian ? My twin brother looks different than what I do and my elder brother looks a bit between my twin and me. My Dad's family has Caucasian looking members as well as Chinese looking ones. My mom's family has most members looking similar to Yemeni or Gulf natives with a heavy splash of tribal Indians. It's that variant.
And science says that India was the part of a great continent and it was breaked millions years ago and madagascar and Australia and India becomes different parts of the world
Siblings DO NOT have the same DNA, siblings are on avg. Only 50% identical and inherit different chunks of the DNA of their parents. You only have the same DNA and results if you are identical twins which you are not. Accordingly, the results are only accurate for the one of you who took the test.
DNA goes back through all of your ancestors through many, many generations. Unless you can trace back your entire history (which is impossible, you will be very surprised by the results. And all sibling will have different DNA results, nobody has the same DNA.
So I paused it and I can tell you that you are NOT 100% Indian. The Dravidians were more Afro in appearance. They had darker skins, thick curly hair and sharp chiselled features. You guys look like you have a lot of Middle Eastern in you, especially if your family are from the northern, western, north-western, south-western, central or southern parts of India.
Thanks for all the comments guys - keep 'em coming! JUST TO CONFIRM, I do now know that siblings do not necessarily have the same DNA :). Thanks to everyone who loved to make that clear to me, haha. Sorry for getting it wrong here. =]
How do get my test done. I am from India. Chennai.
Also let me know a places in London.UK
cina kakar Grewals are Jats (Aryans of Scythian stock). I'm a Jat myself so I know.
Prem Grewal
no native any American?
north and south
I am a jat but that theory was hogwash created by the British, Jats were pastoralists from the Sindh region, who settled down in the Punjab region, and became a community of farmers.
Indians went to Polynesia and Australia much before Europeans. So, it should not be a surprise
The Brits were in India for 300 years. That's a lot of years of possibilities.
Laura Bunyard fair skinned indians didn't resulted from brits
Yes, but if even one of them mixed with an Indian and that Indian somehow married into a Punjabi family somewhere, or had a kid (who was part British) who did then you have your answer.
Finally an Indian DNA test, even though as the most ancient civilizations and advanced country it's very diverse. I'm kind of glad they're not usually like that. LOVE you accepting overall results yet open, funny and chill too.
I am happy to see a video from someone of South Asian ancestry. Your sister is beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Judging by your surname you are jatt sikh, i am too and i have 77% south asia, 21% central asia, 2% middle east and north africa .
thats true alot of Jatt sikhs score european , i Got alot of south ukraine and EE and some greek .. EE is from scythian invasions
sunlightstream surprisingly i dont have European
What about Minhas, Parmar, and Bhatti's?
Bro u look Arab 😂
they are rajputs and jats and rajputs have similar dna
You cannot pronounce "Islander"? Seriously? The "s" in it is silent and it's pronounced more like aye-lander.
Well English probably isn't their first language so do be surprised if they pronounce it wrong.
eye-lander
they have english accents tho
Anonymous aye-lander is the Irish/Scottish way, you pronounce it as eye-lander :)
+Anonymous they corrected themselves at the end
Great video guys!! I'm African American and I have Melanesian ancestry as well. I also have East Africa, which is rare for African Americans. South Asians seem to have Melanesian ancestry also. I think there's a connection here. Ancestry DNA tests don't go back far enough though. They calculate our more recent ancestry. Again, great video!
Thanks Henry!
It's interesting watching this. I just got mine back. Im technically Indian from the Fiji islands. N my mix was 80% south Asian, 12% east Asian, 6% malenesian 2% Polynesian. Interesting to compare my results since I was really confused about the later two percentages but it might be common in people of Indian decent.
Bula there---- if fiji born indian decided to have a portion of the land- they could just hand over their ancestry result and move right in
because of caste purity, Indians will have very high Indian genetic component.
This might come as a shock but Melanesians, particularly the Aboriginals of Australia, are of direct Indian lineage. Fijians sprouted from these people, intermixing with the Lapita Polynesian people who later settled the east of the Pacific
They straight up look Indian mate
silent-skies they are Aryans who invaded India thousands of years ago and mixed with Indian races
yes so what? Indians don't look a certain way. people from all those countries samoa, papua new guinea etc also have people who look like indians.
Indians do look a certain way, the most notable facial structure in India is Indo-Brachid
silent-skies Indians can look like every race on the planet.
Some might. Not 100% but some might. Also keeping in mind we're talking about Central Asian Indo-Europeans, not Turkic peoples.
Let me explain this. India had a series of migrations. The original inhabitants on the subcontinent were Austro-melanesian, negroid and mongoloids (depending on which part of the subcontinent). They were the hunter-gatherers.
The first mass wave of immigration was from the Persian Gulf 10,000 years ago - Neolithic Iranian farmers (Caucasoid population), who spoke Dravidian languages. They mixed with the natives. This became known as ASI (Ancestral South Indians).
4000 years ago, Indo-Aryans came from Central Asia and northern Iran (another Caucasoid population). They mixed with the existing ASI people. The resulting population became known as ANI (Ancestral North Indians).
EVERY person from the subcontinent is a mixture of ASI and ANI. Meaning EVERY Desi is indigenous to the Indian subcontinent.
Northwest Indians have a higher percentage of ANI for obvious reasons.
Subsequent invasions came from Persians, Arabs, Greeks (including Macedonians), Scythians, Turks, Mughals/Mongolians,..but their influence on genetics was minimal or non-existent.
Later came some colonial forces - British, Portuguese, French, Dutch. The British had a significant influence on genetics, as one of their aim was to dilute the Indian race and turn it into Anglo-Indian. Those who lived married lives were known as Anglo-Indians. As for those who got raped - well, tough life! Punjab was a strong-hold for the British, and given that they had to pass through a lot of farms to get from place to place and a lot of those farmers were Jatts, what do you think happened to the Jatt women??? Of course they got raped. That's where the British genes for Jatts come from. Not from Scythians.
I live in USA but was born in north india near punjab/haryana/delhi in Hindu brahmin family, I know that my last 5 generations lived in the same 50 mile radius, My DNA results are very close to @prem_fresh like 90% south asia, 7% central asia and 2% Melanasia. interesting stuff.
iam south asian like yourself (British Bangladeshi/bengali)..i had 70 percent south asian ,19 percent East asian!! ..pacific islander,melanasia ,small percentage of native America, and Polynesia! ..actually there was alot of mixing with Indians and melanasians at one point and polynesian ! I guess you have similiar ancestry to mine! But but you have a great mix !
Interesting!
Varoon most Nepalese are Koreans. So, u r basically Asian.lol
Varoon Nepalese have South Asian with significant East Asian DNA, just like Northeast Indians (in the seven sister states). Bengalis also have some East Asian DNA because they're close to the area of Nepal and seven sister states.
What did you use to did your ancestry?
They are punjabi ppl and Punjab was invaded by many countries in history . Not all punjabis have the same DNA.
They look Gujarati.Alot of gujarati have Iranian Zoroastrian genetic markers.
Siblings share 50% of their DNA so one half of your mums DNA you might have received but not your sibling, which they might have the other "half" of your mums DNA same for your dad's. that means that your sibling can have different regions in their DNA
obviously nothing is conclusive in DNA but some theories are more likely if you take a close look at history and study some of the links between these places;
the british in your DNA is probably from the British Raj.
The central Asia is probably from all past close relations and proximity with India.
Quite a bit of indians especially from coastal regions of india have Melanesian and/or Polynesian this is because the Melanesians were people that migrated in and around east Asia(China, Japan, Indonesia etc..) and finally settled around the islands near Australia but they happened to have passed through India when migrating and also Madagascar hope that helps clear stuff up a bit
Great explanation- thank you
Nope ,wrong the European is NOT from the British scientists have already concluded that the British had little impact on the DNA of the subcontinent ,they never mixed with Indians ..heck ,most brits in uk don't even mix Now ..the British were there to loot ,steal and do their brutal business not to mate with the people .thr euro dns is likely to come from the steppes and is linked to the ancient indo European people ..some jats score very high levels of north east European /Caucasus /central /west Asia DNA this can all be explained by looking at the rich history of the Indus Valley civilisation ..Also,given the north west Indias proximity to west Eurasia it's not surprising ..jats for the most part have components that reflect their ancient info European lineage and cluster closely with several mountain groups of India and Pakistan who two have have a complex genetic history especially given that they were part of the silk route
Actually, you may inherit different genetic traits than your blood-related siblings.
Very interesting, thanks for sharing your results. I took the test not that long ago myself and got 71% European (44% English/GB, 18% Portuguese, 9% Swedish/Scandinavian), 16% South Asian (not overly specific but has to be Indian, etc.), 7% Pacific Islander, 1% West African and around 5% "other" (no idea what this is).
Not sure how accurate this is, but it's definitely thrown up some very interesting ideas for me to consider!
Hello Prem!
Our family is from Andhra Pradesh, long story short the place where my ancestors lived there were Brits and when I took the test I had 25%British of which 15% english, 7%Scottish, 3% Irish and 5% melanesians and the rest 70% south asian!
nothing to be proud of an Indian have british blood in it. how it happened do you know?
Hey! That's interesting!
omg seriously nothing to be proud of being asshole too. people are mixed and its no big deal. indians married british people during colonization. its just a fact. it could also be before colonization too.
Nothing to be ashamed of either.
You must be anglo-indian then case there is no way that a regular indian especially a south indian would have any European ancestry
Interesting..I'm 97 percent South Asian Indian, and 2% west african..my family is from Guyana and our ancestors first came in the 1830's.
Yours is even more interesting. Not even today's Indians have 97% indian . You are like the Indian.
are you punjaabi jatt sikh like this guy
i would be 100% Indian
There was a migration out of Africa, the first one, that traveled in a crescent up from the horn of Africa to the southern tip of India over to Indochina, down through the Philippines to New Guinea and Australia. The ones that remained in India are probably the ancestors of the people you call Dravidians.
The next wave became the people some call Aryans. Whether or not the locus of those people was in India or central Asia is the question at the heart of the Aryan invasion of India debate. If they were centered in India then the Aryans invaded out, not in. To me it's interesting how much the look of humans changed in only 10,000 years or so, between migrations.

I'm one quarter Indian and I got 21% Asia South, 2% Asia Central,
North India, Punjab :-]
Prem Grewal me too! but i'm pakistani punjab =)
I am 100% native pure ancient Indian in my DNA. Cool though!
The Mughals were from central asia. Lots of indians have a little blood from them. The pacific islander thing is because some tribal groups in india are more closely related to papuans/madagascans than the rest of indians. Dates back a very very long way
Ima guess you're 33% kangaroo, 50% algae, and 19% Michael Jackson.
LMAO! ROFL! LOL! good one!!!
wow thats exotic
I am 53% Western European which is my mom she is half Polish half Finnish and Eastern European which is my dad he is half Czech half Moldovan then I am 3% Nepalian. But I speak fluent French because I live in Belgium for most my life. Then I moved to Upper East Side Manhattan NYC where I learned English..
Well India and Australia were a massive continent called Gondwana so its understandable why we could share some DNA with Pacific Islander and Aboriginal people
He is jatt nd jatt peoples of panjaab region came from central asia in search of fertile lands thats why uh got central asian in ur test
yeap its true.. SAKA SCYTHIANs and white huns but mainly saka scythians came to punjab for farming and a safe enviroment to raise kids
R.u mad 2% central Asian mean you comes from Arab so what about 95%
Maninder Bajwa
Nah dude, I think that Central Asian is cause of Aryan attack on Indus Valley civilization.
We definitely didn’t migrate from afGUNistan.
No. Central Asian doesn't mean you come from Arabs. The Central Asians who became Jatts weren't Semitic/Arabs.
Yes. Most Jatts would have some type of Scythian/Indo-European admixture which is why they carry the R1a gene.
After watching your video, which is only 6% central Asian, I think I should be surprised, because I got 40% central asian 😱 also surprisingly I am 7% Scandinavian and 2% Finnish/Siberian.
Actually its normal you have genes from central Asia or Iran. During history many people migrated to India from that region spcially after mongol invasion till age of mughal empi
its easy to say by looking at you guys. She look like Indian with a little british touch, and you look like an afghan, iran, pakistan with a very little british touch. there is nothing to be proud about 2%. it means one of your maternal great great grand mother had a relationship with a britsh male.
Her hair line is not even. Its annoying me
Did you guys check the new update that Ancestry DNA did? What percentages is it giving you now?
Indigenous Malenesian & Fiji have South Asian ancestry & not the other way round. Either way it is literally same, but migration happened from India to Malaysia & Indonesia & then Australia (aboriginals)
2% Great Britain could mean you have 1 full British ancestor 5-6 generations up.. thats not very far back. Lots of Brits in India back then about 150 years ago
Really interesting, keen for my grandparents to do this now!
Zafarnama why then is that the traditional Brahmins and Kshatriyas have European features and absolutely different from the other castes? Some of the Brahmins are just pale white skinned just like the Europeans
Kushal, what you mean is shared admixture from bronze age steppes.
Nice results im punjabi from pakistan and i got 76% south asian 14% west 9% central asian.
I still need to upload my results in the other dna results websites does any one know a good one for south asians
I would say 95% Indian sub continent 2% caucus mountains 3% Melanesian.
A lot of Indians have a small percentage of Melanesian in DNA . It's quite interesting
I misread 'percentage' as 'penis'
Following the Aryan migration theory, initially India was colonized by the same group of people who then made the journey all the way to Australia and other Pacific Islands.
Then the Aryans from the Caucasus came into the Subcontinent in large numbers. So the more South you go in India, you'll find people with more similar DNA to Pacific Islanders or Aborigines and also more similar skin features.
Retired Chand Evil lol
your ancestors may have migrted from pakistan or a region in pakistan if you are punjabi it could be city of lahore,peshawarand of pakistan or even kabul or kandhar in afghanistan usually pakistanis contain most dna of central asian descent in any country out of central asian region
Central Asian refers to Iran and a lot of the "-stan" countries. E.g. Tajikstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan etc. This make sense because you guys look North Indian and North India was ruled by the Mughals (Persians) to thats probably why! :)
Ashwin Nair Mughals were Turko-Mongols originally not Persian. but over generations due to intermarriages they became very south asian.
now days there is no difference between north n south india they all look same .
no it does not refer to iran! Iranians DNA is mainly caucasic DNA like people from Turkey, Armenia, Kurdistan, Azerbaijan etc
I'm a Punjabi Jatt and my test results reveal that I'm 58% Central Asian, 25% South Asian, 9% British and 7% Turkish. A big shocker!!! Where did the British/Turkish come from?
Indian history has a lot of migration. Punjab is a reigon that had a lot of migration due to its location, farmland etc. Look up Indian history it is very rich and long, since the earliest written record in history of a religion is Hinduism.
no mongolians have more east asian DNA in these tests! turkic and mongol is not the same!
Yeah humans originated in Africa but that was tens of thousands years ago. The test doesn't go back that far
as a historian who studied south asian people i can say you are not indian ,you are Pakistani ,grewals are jatts and had 56 villages in layyalpur/faisalabad before partition and moved to india afterward, regions can't be change so don'y tell me pakistan ws india .no it was not punjab was always punjab not india
Just your Afghan familia passing through ✌🏼
I got 13% South Asian but it was broadly so I’m wondering if anyone gets a specific country
Central Asia was once in India so consider that too in Indian group
You both are soo Awesome and happy 😊. Love your attitude and acceptance...your Polynesian Ancestry % and goal to be related to the “Rock” was the BEST! 🤔🙇🏻♀️🔑💗👩🏻💻✊🏽
How did you get only 89% south asian if both your parents are Indian? Where did you get Central Asian, European or Pacific Islander from?
89% does not mean he isnt 100% indian. People migrated alot back in the day.
I got the same results back. I guess our people did a good job at not mixing with other cultures
don't get confused researchers are now coming around the view that Aryan migration happened from India to all over the world so this European or Central Asian bits but you are Aryan indigenous to India there is nothing like south Asia it is Indian subcontinent
you indians are desperate being aryan. Iranians have caucasic DNA mostly. Like armenians, anatolians etc.
central asian means turkic.
europeans also migrated from caucasus that doesnt mean they share caucasic DNA same goes for indians.
why do people always put extreme facials for there thumbnail its not extreme results
It is best if you can get your oldest relative to take the test.
The Melanesians obviously migrated through India tens of thousands of years ago and are probably very closely related to present day Sound Indians.
Not everyone originally spawned from Sub-Saharan Africans. Most people who aren't African didn't spawn from them. The multi-regional theory looks good now that I've been a geneticist for years.
Actually, males and females can get different results as women cam trace maternal lines and men can trace more the paternal genes. Came across your channel by random chance and you two seem like fun. Will likely check out more videos!
Do the British pronounce the 's' in Islander? Thought it was silent.
no matter which race u both look awsome
where did you did the DNA test?
What DNA kit did you use?
Pretty similar results I have got. 95% South Asia, 4 % Central Asia, 1 % Eastern European. btw Punjabi (Pakistan) here..
fraz waraich awesome, i found a fellow Pakistani's results. thanks for sharing, i will have very similar results to you ☺
S S
FAKE!! wtf is North Asian?
fraz waraich you should upload your raw data to GEDMATCH.com
fraz waraich Punjabis regardless of whether they are in India and Pakistan seem to have similar DNA results - majority South Asian of course, a lil Central Asia and a tiny bit of European. Funny how many Pakistanis and Indian Muslims are brainwashed into thinking they have a lot of Arab and Persian DNA.
i did the test and i got 98% middle east 2% africa , I am arab but people always think i am from pakistan !!!! wtf
where can i test my DNA?
All indian-Pakistanis have 2 to 4% Polynesian genes. The reason being that the settlers of Polynesian islands passed through indian subcontinent. Some stayed on here. As the hindu civilisation extended all over Indian subcontinent to Afghanistan and parts of Central Asia so some central asian genes is always found.
How to know that the Test is Authentic???
sir, can you guide me as so who or were to get the kit for doing this test...
Pradeep Sasidharan
The company is "23 and Me"
I don't think you get this in India.
Only in the Americas maybe
You would have different ethnicity percentages because your parents make up 200% of "x" (mystery), and you only get 100% of that 200, and that 100 may not be the same for your sister. In fact you can get the exact opposite of each other if you are mixed. Hence some twins where one is white and one is black.
love your british accents....indian blood and maybe english.
I am not very satisfied with the genetic testing of South Asian people.One billion people living in 3%landmass.While European countries genetic break down is country wise likewise a huge country like India should have a regional genetic break-up.
Forget about compositions in DNA, your's smile is 100% Indian. If you study the Mahabharata, Ramayana and our available histories with academic interests, you will find mention of marriages between different demographics, races were very common. Migrations as well as immigration of races were very frequent. Our DNA is the living documentary of our past history.
Did you both do a dna test?
why all the giggling? you aren't junior high kids.
Olivia Gomez chill the fuck out granny 😂😂
they’re siblings calm down lol
Are you from Punjab????
Just because they are brother and sister doesn't mean the DNA will be the same, DNA will be different ,
Sadly you people don't know Indian civilization history. Many people from central Asia migrated to India for centuries.
What DNA test did you do? Ancestry.com?
Why not showing screen
That central asian is from delhi sultanate and mughal invasion. The european is of british raj. Simple
This is so cute! My name is Prem and my sister's name is Jasmine!
How to find it out brodha what's the process
Many of Indians and Pakistanis came from central Asia so that's expected...btw south Asian is not an ethnicity either..it's a region
i think most of indians have 3 persent Pacific islanders like i have
I wouldn't be really happy to find great Britain in my bloodline. I'd just feel really sorry and sad for my that great grandparent who probably had to go through that experience of violation.
Is your father from Fiji? As in Fijian Indian? Would be why you got Melanesian, he might have Melanesian blood.
The Scythians inhabited the Punjab region from central Asia.
Peeta Singh
Punjab... not india
Snow 123 jatts are not central Asians . they are Indians , whose ancestors got fucked by some invading central Asian army . hence , the tiny 4-5% central Asian . Trust me when I say , there are people in the south way more light skinned , with striking Caucasian features that doesn't mean they came from central Asia .
Jatts are a hybrid of Central Asian, the original Aryans (Indo-European peoples) and whoever lived there before that. Most Jatts are not only 4-5% Central Asian. Punjabi Jatts share very little genetically with lower case and South Indians. And no, there are not "way more light skinned" people in the South. There are some light skinned people in the South but not "way more" with "striking Caucasian features". The reason why many South Indians might be light-skinned is to a variety of reasons but it's also related to the fact that they're also part Indo-European. They're just less so than most North Indians.
Jats have pretty diverse DNA results it's pretty fascinating how varied their results are the fact that the jat ethnic group has many sub groups will plays its part in the diversity of those people

you are not correct .the Pallavas (Parthians) ruled all of Southern India and a branch of the Hittites settled on the West Coast of India ,Southern India had strong trade ties with Rome,Greece,Yemen,Oman,and Nabateans
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Kerala quote"In the last centuries BCE the coast became important to the Greeks and Romans for its spices, especially black pepper. The Cheras had trading links with China, West Asia, Egypt, Greece, and the Roman Empire. In foreign-trade circles the region was known as Male or Malabar.[21] Muziris, Berkarai, and Nelcynda were among the principal ports at that time.[22] The value of Rome's annual trade with the region was estimated at around 50,000,000 sesterces;[23] contemporary Sangam literature describes Roman ships coming to Muziris in Kerala, laden with gold to exchange for pepper. One of the earliest western traders to use the monsoon winds to reach Kerala was Eudoxus of Cyzicus, around 118 or 166 BCE, under the patronage of Ptolemy VIII, king of the Hellenistic Ptolemaic dynasty in Egypt. Roman establishments in the port cities of the region, such as a temple of Augustus and barracks for garrisoned Roman soldiers, are marked in the Tabula Peutingeriana; the only surviving map of the Roman cursus publicus. wikipedia
Merchants from West Asia and Southern Europe established coastal posts and settlements in Kerala. < from same atricle
Haplogroup J2a-M410 in India was found to be largely confined to the castes[20] with no occurrence in the tribals, but a new study has found it at higher percentages (10%) among the Tharu indigenous people of Terai, Nepal.[31] In India, the J2 haplogroup is almost absent from tribals. Haplogroup J2b is associated with the Neolithic Greeks that spread agriculture. It has been found in the Dravidian middle classes in high frequencies also in the Northwest of India.The frequency of J2 is higher in South Indian castes (19%) than in North Indian castes (11%) or Pakistan (12%).[20] Haplogroup J was found to be even more common in India's Shia Muslim community, of which 28.7% belong to haplogroup J, with 13.7% in J2a-M410, 10.6% in J1 and 4.4% in J2b.[32] The high variance of J2b2 in South Asia indicates a probable pre-Neolithic migration.(wikipedia)
A significant presence of J2 (J2b2+J2a) was detected in western and south-western India (the highest being 21% among Dravidian middle castes, followed by upper castes, 18.6%, and lower castes 14%; Sengupta et al. 2006
J2 is widely believed to be associated with the spread of agriculture from Mesopotamia.[1][9]"The main spread of J2 into the Mediterranean area is thought to have coincided with the expansion of agricultural people's during the Neolithic period."[2] The age of J2 has been estimated as 18,500 +/- 3,500 years ago.[1] Its distribution, centered in Western Asia and Southeastern Europe, its association with the presence of Neolithic archaeological artifacts, such as figurines and painted pottery,[21] and its association with annual precipitation have been interpreted as evidence that J2, and in particular its J2a-M410 subclade belonged to the agricultural innovators who followed the rainfall.[22] However, Di Giacomo stressed the role of post-Neolithic migratory phenomenon, specifically that of the Ancient Greeks, as also being important in the dispersal of Hg J2.[7] Haplogroup J2b on the other hand is associated with the Neolithic Greeks that spread agriculture. It has been found in the Dravidian middle classes in high frequencies also in the Northwest of India.
Brother, you got 6% Afghanistan. carry it with pride it feels good
I am a Grewal too and mine showed 67% South Asian, 9% Greek, 3% central Asian and a breakdown of Melanesian and other European... This means Our own Grewal Clan is not as much alike either... I am not sure about this DNA thing either anymore...
Indian and Pakistani etc are nationalities not ethnicities...
South Asian ?
It's so diverse ethnically and racially, how does one even grade such a vast genetic coding into just South Asian ? My twin brother looks different than what I do and my elder brother looks a bit between my twin and me. My Dad's family has Caucasian looking members as well as Chinese looking ones. My mom's family has most members looking similar to Yemeni or Gulf natives with a heavy splash of tribal Indians. It's that variant.
I'm Pakistani so maybe I will have similar results to you
U r jaat from haryana punjab .
Greywal is surname of jaat people .
And science says that India was the part of a great continent and it was breaked millions years ago and madagascar and Australia and India becomes different parts of the world
Siblings DO NOT have the same DNA, siblings are on avg. Only 50% identical and inherit different chunks of the DNA of their parents. You only have the same DNA and results if you are identical twins which you are not. Accordingly, the results are only accurate for the one of you who took the test.
DNA goes back through all of your ancestors through many, many generations. Unless you can trace back your entire history (which is impossible, you will be very surprised by the results. And all sibling will have different DNA results, nobody has the same DNA.
So I paused it and I can tell you that you are NOT 100% Indian. The Dravidians were more Afro in appearance. They had darker skins, thick curly hair and sharp chiselled features. You guys look like you have a lot of Middle Eastern in you, especially if your family are from the northern, western, north-western, south-western, central or southern parts of India.
there is no such thing as 'middle eastern'
What should I need to do to test my anscestry
You are jatt,all jatt have central Asian gene(not a surprise)
What's your update say
2% is Greek genepole.. Because Alexander came their.
