a lot of people say they thought they'd have more Native American but there results show quite a bit of East Asian... genetically, native Americans originated from East Asia (Japan, Korea, etc)
Funny...we went to high school together, Matthew. I was watching a few of these vids and then yours popped up. I thought it looked like you and then looked you up on Facebook! Yep, it's you! haha Greetz from Zurich... James (Mister)
Happy for you!! I've had specific lineages tested and received results, but haven't done the admixture test done yet. I will get it done,....Genetics is interesting!!! According to geneticists Africans are said to have the oldest most complex genetic make ups in the world,....and all other ethnic groups according to them,....appear to be mere recent subsets of what the African consist of. This is why, it's kind of arbitrary if someone would say, they can notice your Asian features, being the fact, non mixed Ghanaians and Nigerians look identical to you without Asian admixture. You remind me of the Akan and Ga people in Ghana, and particularly the Yoruba and Igbo in Nigeria. When I had my direct maternal lineage tested it went back to the Yoruba in Nigeria, and my direct paternal line went back to the Akan(Ashanti) in Ghana. I'm excited about taking the admixture test soon!
+Windsingerful The company African Ancestry (africanancestry.com) tests direct maternal lineages and paternal lineages. They have the largest database of African dna samples in the world right now. They can tell you where that lineage originates from in Africa(the country) and the tribal group it is associated with. What I mean, by the fact they test direct lineages, these are those that are completely male (forefathers) or completely female(foremothers). For example, your mother, her mother, her mother,...is your direct maternal line, and your father, his father, and so on is your direct paternal line. There are of course several other direct lines in your family for example, your mother's father's lineage, and the males that preceded him, etcetera. You, a male will have your y dna tested for your direct paternal lineage, and your mitochondrial dna tested for your maternal lineage. The only thing is if you have a sister, she could not have her dna tested to find out about her direct paternal lineage because she doesn't have y chromosome dna (being female), so you as a male would have to do the testing. Males and females carry their mother's mitochondrial dna though. It's just a simple q-tip swab process using the saliva in your mouth.
Honestly, I'm a little bit suspect with this one. I've seen a few people who used it report that they were 100% a particular tribe....which realistically is not likely, considering the reality of slavery and how our ancestors were dragged from all parts of west Africa and thrown together. Well... one step at a time. I might give it a whirl down the line at one point. Thank you for sharing!
+Windsingerful Lol!!!.....They're not 100 per cent that tribe. The average person doesn't know much about science or scientific jargon,....so when they get the results from African Ancestry(the company)they don't know how to read them. The report often states their dna sequence is 100 per cent match for that ethnic group or 98 per cent, whatever. That has to do with the sequence similarity of their dna and that tribe, on either their (direct) maternal lineage or (direct) paternal lineage. Direct lineages are never representative of everything in your dna,...since they are selectively lineages you tests based only solely a lineage of males(forefathers) or females(foremothers). I explained in detail in a previous message I sent you.
Nikki Keefe she doesn't have Vitiligo....lol if she had vitilgo everyone would know that by now and it would be way more rapid.d Hahha don't be ridiculous
Nikki Keefe I dont agree that she looks half bleached though like the girl up above says, I just don't think she looks like a mixed woman, but at the same time, what does mixed even mean? any mixed person can look anyway but on The Real all of the women did a DNA ancestry test and she was well over 80% African so yeah lol.
First of all, congratulations on your DNA results! I'm glad you enjoyed and made this video. Secondly, you made a comment about someone who "looked like a mixed person". I just wanted to give you some friendly information. Your genetics make up all of you so it's easy for some people to think that if they are mixed, it will show in their looks but remember that your DNA also affects your personality. It is an interesting phenomenon that many people who are mixed show it by comparing their attitudes, outlooks or even appetites as opposed to looks. For example, your being mixed Asian might show more in a smaller body frame, it could show more in a bigger appetite for white rice or it could even show more with your memorization skills. So for example, someone can look jet black obviously African but still be half white because maybe the half black is in their looks and their half white is in their personality, if that makes more sense? I hope that helps you understand your genetic mixture better!By the way, as far as looking Nigerian, I don't mean to veer too far from what you originally asked but just wanted to let you know that Nigerians (from Nigeria) would say you look American or Westernized. You look like you come from a mixed culture background. As far as whether or not you look part Nigerian, I cannot say.
By the way, no doubt the holidays were a part of it but another reason why your test took a bit longer to receive results is because of how mixed you are (making the process take a bit longer). Same thing happened to me, my test took about a month or maybe even a little longer. (I'm 51% European, 23% Native American, 15% Asian, 6% Pacific Islander & 5% African.)
Siusaidh Chaimbeul He does have a percentage of Native American. Like most of Black Americans, it's the races we did not think of that is more over prominent. Good video!
Congratulations on your results and thanks for sharing!👍✌ Its written all over your face ! This is all new to me and I find it fascinating and informative. Its so good to be able to know that a lot of what I think I see I see and some of what I thought I saw is something else. When I first looked at you I thought African and Asian & I was close !
Cool results!! nice video. At the beginning you actually gave my results, lol. I recently got mine back. I'm in the 90% African range. The rest being Scandinavian, Great Britain, Iberian Peninsula, Europe West and Pacific Islander, Melanesia. Your two top regions were two of my top regions. I see a resemblance, although I'm not as light as you are. I see the Asian in you as well. Congrats again!
Ah cool your results are similar to mine ! Mines came back 70% African, 15% East Asia 2% Asia Central and 12% Europe and 2% Pacific islander. my dad has Chinese ancestry. My dad also did the test as well. Your results were really interesting, thanks for sharing :) Really find it intriguing seeing others results, spesh if they are similar
Awesome results, your family history sounds kinda similar to mine except my grandmother was from Thailand. I got my results back today and got a similar result like yours lol mine was 62% African,
DNA isn't mainly about how you look it's more about what you inherit from both parents you inherit more from one parent than the other and so will siblings be different. Skin color is only about 10% or under
Wow your results are almost overwhelming! So many similarities in the 'my name is this, but how much of this am I?' I went as far as teaching myself the language, and my DNA test will tell me if I wasted my time or not haha >_> I was told Samoan, then started learning the language, but Later saw the name is associated with Samos, not Samoa, so I learned Greek... ahh I nees my results lol.
+Quinn I'm not claiming that I look like people from that area. I work with an older Sudanese lady and she said that I favor people in Sudan. I agree, that I do not look like the Sudanese(or Somalis, which I don't think I look like at all) that are usually advertised, but Sudan is very diversed. I received my results and from ancestry and it says I'm 88% African, 7% European, and 3% Middle Eastern. The other 2% were trace regions in the Americas. Cameroon had the highest percentage followed by Benin/Togo. When I uploaded my DNA to GEDmatch and Family Tree DNA, my results were pretty much the same, except both sites showed that I had a significant amount of DNA from Sudan and Ethiopia.
Erica Handy Nice results. North Sudan has a lot of mixed people (looks like a mixture of Arab and black), and the South has a lot of people who are very dark(literally the color of black) in complexion, you don't really fit in any of those categories, I don't see why people say you look like them, I really don't see it. I can see you passing off as an Ethiopian or a Nigerian, but not a Sudanese. Btw I never said you claimed that you looked like the people from the area, js you don't like them to me. Anyways, Africa is a very diverse continent with beautiful people who come in different shapes, sizes, hair textures, and colors.
My family is quite a mixture so I decided to take 23 and me. The results are 48% Ghana, 38% Cherokee Nation, 6% Iberian Peninsula and 5% Germany. I was surprised that all of my African Heritage came from one place. Both of my biological parents were tested and these are my results from both parents. From what I understand, my great, great, great, great grandparents all came from Ghana. They took almost the whole tribe and brought them here. My first cousins are almost all from Ghana or atleast a large percentage. I am proud. My family, are all apart of the Cherokee Nation in Virginia since birth. It is amazing.
Can you make an updated video of your Ancestry DNA results. Ancestry DNA has updated now. They're more specific on where you're from now. For example Asia is more specific... Philippines, Vietnam, China, Japan. Europe is specific to. Spain, France, England, Germany, Greece and the Balkans.
filipino isnt pacifc islander mate, but they are part of austronesian(malayo-polynesian) which originated in taiwan i think? It's always keep me irritated that everybody said we're(filipino) Pacific Islanders. I'm a filipino and i say we're asian man. Im just sayin'.
West Africa is the same. You look like an Igbo man from nigeria. Igbo tribe is in the eastern part of Nigeria.They are mosty lighter skinned, tall and very handsome like you. I am Igbo Nigerian too.
You really got interesting results. I love watching these b/ c us AA ppl don't know much of our ethnicity. This is an ethnicity estimate. And sorry dear but Tamar doesn't look mixed to me either. I do think her dad is though.
Thx for sharing...there are quite a few African Americans that have that slight Asian look to them like you do, so there's probably more that have some Asian DNA than we realize.
Nappyboi Thx brother, hey I just got my results yesterday, (I'm Puerto Rican BTW), and well, as expected, I'm a MUTT and proud of it, lol...From high to low percentages, Spanish, American Indian, Italian/Greek, Irish, and 11% African...love it...take care, be good.
Nappyboi: The 31% Ivory Coast/Ghana is the Akan ethnic group. Same people, language and culture split between two countries. It would be better if the results were done based on ethnic groups because during the Scramble (by the Colonialists) for Africa, ethnic groups were routinely split between numerous countries. Some people also get a lot of Togo/Benin in their results. These are the same people as well. Sometimes you could literally have cousins from 2 different countries. Look at the map of Africa, you are bound to see a lot of this happening if the countries are neighboring countries
+SoFrolushesTV Im still trying to understand it lol, I feel like I gotta do research or something cause I don't know what half of the acronyms stand for.
Just letting you know ghana/ivory coast means Akan so if you want to look further into it you are 68% of the Akan ethnic group which was once the ashantiland before colonization split it into ghana (britian) and ivory coast (france)
cool results.... im just wondering, how is your skin so clear??? i need to take notes! lol! I wonder if, in having African parents (Nigerian), I should bother to take this test lol... but I feel like there's something else in there from way back...Someone was light skinned on my ancestor tree XD
how did you get 4% polynesian how did that get in there polynesian is native hawaiian, tahitian ,maori I think they jut added these for no reason I wonder if people could actually observe these people carrying out these testing
Is it possible for Filipino's to have some of that ancestry in them? Anyway I don't think these tests are random because after the latest update they specified that the 14% East Asian came from the Philippines which was the only ethnicity I knew for sure besides West Africa. They put Polynesian in the high confidence category along with Ghana, Nigeria, and East Asia so they must have been able to trace it directly. Meanwhile all of my European ancestry was placed in the low confidence category. It makes sense because I don't know of any full blooded European ancestors so that DNA most likely came from waaaaay back in the 1700's.
Definitely a popping blend did u press on East Asian it shud show u what type of Asian 31% of one country is intense I'm 26% Nigerian so im proud as well I thought I'd be a higher percentage European n I thought from how I dress and things and features about myself I'd be part Asian that did not come up but my dad's side has mostly 1-2% Asian ancestry so therefore I called n they said it cudve just not hit me still a shocker found his whole family including him as well lol but thanks fr sharing man 😉
I was 80% African but nothing was over 20% So Im the typical AA mutt with about 8 different ethnicities that you were hoping you'd avoid. Im pretty light skinned and I get mistaken for mixed all the time.
African doesn't mean "black". They are just telling you that people who share the same DNA in that region. Africa is extremely diverse so the people in that region could be anything.
00700556 Oh my goodness, you had nothing to add did you? You know VERY WELL what the term black means in the African diaspora, slang and all the sort. I'm laughing because you know this. And its exhausting when people comment on something attempting to correct something that never needed correcting. But feel good about you "well, actually" moment that isn't one. *slow clap*
Dont know you family’s history but you should look up the manila men (early filipino settlers) of Louisiana. They were really early arrivals to the state and mixed with African American people in the region. A lot of people from the state have filipino ancestry but don’t know it because they integrated so long ago into other groups.
youre an American! just like me! Im waiting on my DNA results, just sent in Thanks for sharing your story I bet I have bunch of boring cold ass country genes, grandma from Sweden! Thanks for the video Devin your sunburned brother from Texas
Alright! I'll claim you as a bonafied Filipino bro, man! I called Asian ancestry early on the video and I was right! You have a distinct trace in your eyes.
Sometimes people who wish they have less african end up having more african while the ones who dont care if they are more african end up being less. its funny how that works out, i got my test and waiting on results.
Wow,we look alike.I haven't submitted my saliva for results .My sister got her results and they showed,can't remember the exact breakdown,41% Nigeria,18%Sierra Leone,15%Kenya with the rest being central Africa.20% Iberian Peninsula,1% Scandinavia,1% Finland,1.8% central America.I assume we have about the same numbers given we have the same parents.Just commenting because we look alike.
I can definitely see the Asian influence!
I see a little bit of too...

WELCOME HOME BRO, FROM NIGERIA
Great Video, and results.
Did your results also name distant relatives? I ordered my kit 2 days ago, Im sooooo READY to do this!!!
I could not stop looking at your face &lips they're so ✨
+Enrrique Chinchilla thanks I think lol.
+Nappyboi I'm sorry, I had to say that . 😅
you gay????????
Will you compare this on GEDmatch?
+SoFrolushesTV Im still trying to understand it lol, I feel like I gotta do research or something cause I don't know what half of the acronyms stand for.
Nappyboi ok. cool
When I get mine I'm going to those countries and learning about the culture.
Just letting you know ghana/ivory coast means Akan so if you want to look further into it you are 68% of the Akan ethnic group which was once the ashantiland before colonization split it into ghana (britian) and ivory coast (france)
How old are you? I've been thinking about getting it done...just seems expensive.
Hey bro welcome to Ghana (akwaaba).... No doubt you got rich Ghanaian blood in there because you really look Ghanaian
thanks, I looked up the soccer player people said I looked like and I see the resemblance!
Cool results.
+goov47 thanks!
you didn't say what your y haplogroup was, that's what I was waiting for
Doesn't he kind of look like 21 savage
Very cool.
cool results.... im just wondering, how is your skin so clear??? i need to take notes! lol!
I wonder if, in having African parents (Nigerian), I should bother to take this test lol... but I feel like there's something else in there from way back...Someone was light skinned on my ancestor tree XD
how did you get 4% polynesian how did that get in there polynesian is native hawaiian, tahitian ,maori I think they jut added these for no reason I wonder if people could actually observe these people carrying out these testing
Is it possible for Filipino's to have some of that ancestry in them? Anyway I don't think these tests are random because after the latest update they specified that the 14% East Asian came from the Philippines which was the only ethnicity I knew for sure besides West Africa. They put Polynesian in the high confidence category along with Ghana, Nigeria, and East Asia so they must have been able to trace it directly. Meanwhile all of my European ancestry was placed in the low confidence category. It makes sense because I don't know of any full blooded European ancestors so that DNA most likely came from waaaaay back in the 1700's.
+Nappyboi filipino is austronesian but not polynesian theres only nine or ten polynesian countries in the world
Yeah you look so much like my ex, you even sound like him and your smiles are pretty much similar, he is Nigerian too you could pass as Nigerian.
Love your name.
Very cool! I really want to do it too!
how did it turn out your dad being part Filipino If i may ask?
+Worldtraveler8899 His grandfather was from the Philippines.
Definitely a popping blend did u press on East Asian it shud show u what type of Asian 31% of one country is intense I'm 26% Nigerian so im proud as well I thought I'd be a higher percentage European n I thought from how I dress and things and features about myself I'd be part Asian that did not come up but my dad's side has mostly 1-2% Asian ancestry so therefore I called n they said it cudve just not hit me still a shocker found his whole family including him as well lol but thanks fr sharing man 😉
I was 80% African but nothing was over 20% So Im the typical AA mutt with about 8 different ethnicities that you were hoping you'd avoid. Im pretty light skinned and I get mistaken for mixed all the time.
African doesn't mean "black". They are just telling you that people who share the same DNA in that region. Africa is extremely diverse so the people in that region could be anything.

Oh my goodness, you had nothing to add did you? You know VERY WELL what the term black means in the African diaspora, slang and all the sort.
I'm laughing because you know this. And its exhausting when people comment on something attempting to correct something that never needed correcting. But feel good about you "well, actually" moment that isn't one. *slow clap*
+thegazette hush.
Nope :)
Well, he looks pretty good no matter where that box of sweets come from. Keep smiling 😘
Defo want to do this test!!!
+Sunny Dee You should! They have it for 20% off right now I believe.
You got a old school black man look. Like when you look at them old pictures of soldiers.
Enjoyed watching nice video
Please post more videos!!!
Dont know you family’s history but you should look up the manila men (early filipino settlers) of Louisiana. They were really early arrivals to the state and mixed with African American people in the region. A lot of people from the state have filipino ancestry but don’t know it because they integrated so long ago into other groups.
youre an American!
just like me!
Im waiting on my DNA results, just sent in
Thanks for sharing your story
I bet I have bunch of boring cold ass country genes, grandma from Sweden!
Thanks for the video
Devin
your sunburned brother from Texas
Alright! I'll claim you as a bonafied Filipino bro, man! I called Asian ancestry early on the video and I was right! You have a distinct trace in your eyes.
I'm sure you've got "you look like Derrick Rose" a lot of times.
The Nigerian shows no doubt! It's funny how I guessed it before you said it. I probably figured cos I'm Nigerian :)
+Oyindamola Odetola lol thanks!
I knew you weren't going to be 90% African. I was thinking you would probably be about 80%. Make me wonder what my results are.
+Kent Peterson Are you African American?
+Nappyboi yeah I am.
Kent Peterson You should totally take the test if you haven't already!
This is cool
you're super handsome and yes looks can be deceiving.. skin color and hair texture don't really much when your mixed 😘
Tamar does not look mixed
Tamar had tons of surgery on her face. And she has a skin disease. The orginal tamar braxton doesn't look mix.
90% is a stretch lol Black Americans are on average a quarter White but the Eastern Asian is quite surprising!
we come from anywhere hot hence the need for melanin and genetics.
I’m 89.9 and 100% African American
A little off. 82% is the average now
I Love your Video
+Cédtavious Miguel Thanks!!
+Nappyboi you're welcome
Enjoy your results handsome
i was like 54% south asian , 45% west african and like 3.5% european
MIXED POWER!
Joh-Van James indeed Guyana to be exact
Well I'm not a coolie, I'm actually a Dougla.Also coolie as u know is a racial slur. Lastly my dad has some Trinidadian ancestry aswell
+Joh-Van James
Spot on
What in the world is coolie?
+Joh-Van James ooooo thank you
man those asian genes seem strong 0_0. Lol nice results :)
+SuperWinter1987 lol thanks,
So your great grandpa was Filipino? Is that where the last name came from.
Central Asia includes Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kirghizistan, which are turkic countries. Not India or something else
Sometimes people who wish they have less african end up having more african while the ones who dont care if they are more african end up being less. its funny how that works out, i got my test and waiting on results.
+zeuperm i sent in my sample on March 20 and they received it by March 23rd, so now im just waiting...feels like forever though.
Dude, that's legit! My African is broken down in small percentages unlike yours! My Ivory Coast/Ghana is 17%.
i thought you were igbo tbh
Wow,we look alike.I haven't submitted my saliva for results .My sister got her results and they showed,can't remember the exact breakdown,41% Nigeria,18%Sierra Leone,15%Kenya with the rest being central Africa.20% Iberian Peninsula,1% Scandinavia,1% Finland,1.8% central America.I assume we have about the same numbers given we have the same parents.Just commenting because we look alike.
I want to take this test so bad!!!
Thanks for the warning on when to get the test. lmaoo
I am guesting some Nigerian and Ghanaian / Ivory Coast before you start.
