Malika Zekaria when I was young someone told me harari and silte are originally turk! I was wondering that, do u have any idea? Masha Allah I love harari a good muslims
Western Asian is Middle Eastern!! Western Asian is a modern more scientific term for Middle Eastern. I’m Lebanese, so I’m all Western Asian 😊 Sub-Saharan African refers to all of the areas of Africa that we typically perceive as “Black African”. North African refers to the countries like Libya, Morocco, Egypt, etc., the countries closer to the Mediterranean&Middle East.
Mesfin Gondar Serqe Berhan Hi, I chose my verbiage very particularly. ‘Typically perceived as “Black African”’. Its really hard to put ethnic populations in to definitive homogenized groups. You’re correct in that many sub-saharan Africans don’t perceive themselves as black, hence the quotation marks. Often times, using outdated euro-centric terminologies are the only way to define ethnic groupings bc they’re who invented them. Its why theres been movement away from the term Middle Eastern. And I never said North Africans are white? Also I’m Christian Lebanese and we all identify as Arab..... Even the few who don’t do not identify as Phoenicians or Canaanites.... I’ve never heard of that ever.... I’m not trying to pick a fight, btw! I understand it can be tricky to talk about ethnic terminologies or understand them, so I’m jsut expanding on what I was trying to say.
Lol I was liking this video until u stated misinformation u can see your dna matches and compare them on 23&me you just go to where it says DNA relatives tool
23andme is far more accurate because they expanded their project to asses African heritage specifically east African. The human genome project, like most things, largely served European communities. Then again, east African genes were harder to acquire given the perpetual geopolitical conflict. Insightful video though, saving loads of africans from wasting their money with other biotech giants. 💕
Amal Mohamed Yes, I saw some videos of people's DNA results that just didn't sound right at all. Some were getting a whole lot European, Native American and other things that just didn't match up with histort. Makes sense now. Thanks
Amal Mohamed It is true that you won't find Horn African dna outside the Middle Eastern region and at most in Southern Europe usually in Italy and surrounding areas. Most African dna is West African around the world.
E Jackson Bruh...east African is east African. We're not related to Arabs and Europeans. That's just some antiblack bs I'm tired of hearing. Just stop. We existed as a population far before Europe or Asia was a thought.
SAMAND33 I was not speaking to you. Pipe down, aint tryna read that thesis statement of yours. Reading comprehension is your friend. Consider using it with your mighty doctors brain. Aysha's page is a positive space, see ya way out.
SAMAND33 you are absolutely right. This "23andme is accurate for ancestry" is a myth they only project very recent history and thus is a waste of money for Somalis because most Somalis know back to their great grandfather is somali hence the huge East African percentage . This doesn't make ancestry DNA test accurate though, they use south eastern Bantu as a misnomer for East Africans and their sample size is small.
I am from Burundi and have 70% East-african. Some Rwandans score 94%. The Maasai, Ethiopians and Somalis are the specific groups used for the East-african section so your score makes sense. I feel like Gedmatch goes way deeper than both companies.
Abdiqafar Abdullahi No they don't. I wrote that DNA companies look up for people to form samples that will represent a region. In this case the sample, as I mentioned above, is from Maasai, Somalis and Ethiopians. These people do not definitively and utterly define East-Africa. Their countries are in fact made of numerous cultures, tribes, clans, phenotypes, ancestry and genetic origins but are closely related. Doesn't mean they descend from each other, could be but not necessarily.
Gambella Represent. I’m Nuer but my parents are from Gambella and my extended family lives there so I like to rep Ethiopia and South Sudan. Cause S.Sudan is the historic Nuer homeland
aysha we love our east african ppl but the reality is hareri ppl and somali are more related to each other culture religion and looks good luck u humble and nice person
faisal nur no they are not Hareri language is shemetic like amharic Somali language is totally different Just because u have same religion doesn't mean your the same people, they are Ethiopian period.
Both of you are wrong... genetically speaking there's no difference from a close to pure Ethiopian and Somali. The reason why Aysha looks Somali is because like the average Somali she is close to pure East African. Ethiopians of the northern highlands, on the other hand, have on average significant middle eastern ancestry so they will have a much different look from the average Hareri person.
Robel- east Africans have all come to an agreement that 23andme is accurate and not ancestry DNA. But I think the percentages can be somewhat misleading I only take interest in the haplogroups.
Because you are female, the tests can only trace your maternal line - your mom, her mom, her mom, and so forth. If you have a brother who will take the test, you'll know the maternal and paternal lineage on your dad's side and you'll gain the knowledge of the paternal line on your mom's side. My ancestors are from England, Croatia, Netherlands, Germany, France, Senegal, Nigeria, Iran, Eastern Africa (listed as broadly Eastern African) and South Asia(which unfortunately didn't break down further) Iberia, Serbia, and Scandinavia. I tested and so did my dad, so those are combined. I'll have to get one of my mom's brothers to test to find out the paternal lineage on my mom's side.
I clicked b/c I thought you were Somali. I love Harari people and culture. I stayed in Harar for two weeks years back, the house decoration and design is very unique.
I'm also Ethiopian (Amhara), and I've always considered doing one of these tests. I'm pretty sure I'll get 90% or more EA like you did, so I'm more curious about the health report than I am about anything else. Seeing your ancestry laid out on a timeline like that does seem pretty interesting though.
inalienable rights its possible cuz some arabs call all Ethiopians “abeed” which is a curse unfortunately regardless of Ethiopians backgrounds and ethnic groups
@@ra8682ra possibly. There are many cushite subclans followed amhara while most of cushites are followed islam(muslim).waaq time than went to Christian.anyhow we have same lineage genes.somalis .oroma.afat agew.sidamo.saho.iraqw.subclanes be became amhara But most more.
African Ancestry helps trace you back to an ethnic group and country. The problem with both 23 n Me and Ancestry is that it was made mostly for Europeans. They didn't bother to look up ethnic groups in Africa as much. So I would recommend this, it's more expensive, but it also caters specifically those of African decent.
Ethiopia is a country that was formed in the last century and occupies land of certain ethnicities. For example, they occupy the ogaden region that belongs to somalia and there was a war that was fought for the land. There's also the ormos, the largest ethnic group in ethiopia that have been marginalised ever since the country was formed. When you think of ethiopia, it's mainly go to do with the habeshas which are a different ethnic group. Hararis are a semtic speaking group of people and they had a close history with somalis afars etc.
If Hararis have no kinship to Somalis, then explain for me why they fought with Somalis in 1977 war? Many of them even wanted to be apart of the Somali republic. Anyways, who gives a fuck about Hararis, the Oromos are running them over and Harar today is basically apart of Oromia, thanks to the Qeerroo.
I did mine with National Geographic and the results were interesting. Sub-Saharan Africa are all the countries below the Saharan desert...basically all of Africa except t he "Middle East" aka North Africa.
E Jackson I'm from Kenya and my results were: 36% Western African, 21% Eastern Africa, 12% Italy & Southern Europe, 7% Southern India, 6% Nothern India, 5% SouthwestAsia/Persian Gulf, 4% Nothern Africa, 2% Asia Minor and 3% Jewish Diaspora.
Sub-Saharan Africa, which includes Ethiopia, covers many countries in the continent excepting north African countries, but you can easily Google it. Also love to all Africans, as part of the same continent, it's important to be more inclusive, not dividing pride to east, west, north or south. It shouldn't be a surprise to share dna with anyone from any region within your continent, and yet not be surprised to share dna from a region outside of your continent.
A very interesting result!! I appreciate that you showed us the DNA results of both DNA Ancestry & 23andMe to contrast. I think they both do not have the right DNA data base for the region but it gives some sense for me. Despite huge differences between the two, they both can be used depending on your purpose of DNA testing. If you want the very old root of your ancestry (5-10T), choose DNA ancesstry, you still find similar results with other Ethiopian (those used DNA ancesstry). Do you see our ethnic identity and claimed roots are made up of just religious myths? We are always in one cluster.
Hi Aysha, just wanted to let you know that the population of Harari people has grown tremendously. Ethiopia's population has grown from 50 million to 115 million in about 30 years! Hararis are about 200,000 now. They are still tiny compared to the more prominent tribes of Ethiopia that are mostly in the millions. If you count half Hararis like me I'm sure the number rises to at least 350,000. If the population of Ethiopia keeps on growing by the same rate there will at least be 500,000 Hararis in no time. 😊
I did both tests. The results were very similar, but one is more detailed than the other.. But my problems with both tests is that I would really like to know more specifics about my African ancestry in respects to tribes.
I did ancestry and I have wanted to try 23 and me for a while. I am 28% Benin/Togo, 18% Southeastern Bantu, 12% Mali, 10% Nigeria, 9% Scottish, 5% Cameroon/Congo, 4% Sengal, 4% Finland, 4% South Europe, 2% West Europe, 1% Ivory Coast, 1% Iberian peninsula, 1% Great Britain, 1% Native American.....lol that's a lot.
Cliff Smith because my culture is a beautiful culture that's why and im proud. There are some practices that i don't agree with but i still love my culture, country and people. Where are u from?
"Broadly" mainly means very old genes that goes many thousands of years in the past so are not related to a location, they are just indigenous everywhere.
I took a test with myheritage and it came back saying: 95% Somali, 4.3% Middle eastern & 0.07% Chinese and Vietnamese. My mom is btw from Mogadishu (southern Somalia) and my dad from Hargeisa (northern Somalia)
I took the ancestry one and it pretty much came out as I expected to since I’m African American, but seeing how different your results were for this test I really want to try 23 and me just to compare.
Are you a true African American or are you just a black American with distant African ancestors? I will never understand why black Americans insist on calling themselves Africans when they have nothing in common with Africa except that they have black skin and know nothing about that continent and its populations...
@@sparkle408While 4 years too late,that is the stupidest I've ever heard. Africa is a continent and having origins from there doesn't make any group non-African if they still exist and retain cultural elements. Now if you meant a specific African group,you would be somewhat right as Black in the Americas are a mixed African population.
I have 23 and me, I'm european and it does show up relative matches, you get updates all the time as new people that are related to you register. But I can understand that not so many people from Ethiopia have tried it. My wife is from Somalia, so I am going to order a test for her, it will be really interesting to see if its as accurate as yours was. Great video.
Not a surprise really because harar is known for having a lot of different ethnicity mostly middle eastern personally I'm harari too but my mom side there is hadrami/Syrian my dad side is Yemeni
I do not need to explain myself and show how much proud I am of my ancestry and I do not need a test to prove it I come from Mohammed peace be upon him ancestors and who said that I don't have African blood in me ?
Sofia A. It's funny how irrelevant person who doesn't know a damn thing about your ancestry or your family's nationality assume what ever they want 😀 have a nice day
Yes, I thought you were Somali when I clicked on the link. I lived in Saudi Arabia 1 year and Qatar for 6 years. I knew a lot of Ethiopians. However, I had friends that lived near the borders to other countries and had those features. Could that be why? Is your family located near the Somali or Kenyan border? Update @ 8:00 answered my question.
I guess I'll go with 23 and me, because me being an African American I don't know much about my African heritage. That's because no one really teach us African Americans much about Africa in the U.S. Usually we got to find out for ourselves through the internet or find a class in college that teaches us things about Africa. So, wish me luck.
Yes!!! I’m so glad you took the 23 and me dna test! A lot of East Africans took the ancestry dna test and people(non-east African) were running with it saying dumb stuff like “I knew they were mixed” lol
Most east Africans are mixed. 23 and me only tries to match with current ancestry with a definite which means it looks at matching up genetic diffusion going back about 300 years before it tries to match you with other groups.
@@axumitedessalegn3549Most East Africans are Bantus, they're are not mostly Horners. The fact you don't know this shows how ignorant you are about the region and that your claim that East Africans are mixed, when you really meant Horners, is based in ignorance and assumptions. Most Horners are not mixed. Those that are mixed are mainly Habeshas.
@brucewinters-cr4it not all east Africans are bantus. But I know most east Africans are bantu hybrids, south west of ethiopia all the way to south Africa other than some tribes in south africa. Most of the bantu in east Africa are mixed with ancient east African hunter-gatherers that are now extinct and eurasian, especially in rawanda.
I was so happy to get the notification for this, because I’ve been waiting for your results 😃. I’m currently waiting on mine from Ancestry DNA. They had a $59 special for it.
I have always been super interested in genetics and really want to do this but I don't know if it would be a waste of money for me since as far as I know my family are all from the same part of the UK.
Gelila why make up shit? ogaden region is somali, and is named after the ogaden clan which is a somali clan. the ogaden desert was controlled by Britain and was transferred to ethiopia, even today the region is called "somali regional state" in the ethiopian federal system, ogaden desert is suitable for somali nomadic pastoralists not the highland habesha ruling class. go do some research idiot,
Hi sister. I was listening your video, and I was exciting but you didn't say anything about region, my Niece has done 23andme and it gave her exact place in Ethiopia with 97%. would you mind if you tell us about region . Thank you
Did they say what your haplogroup group was? I found out that mine is only found in Ethiopia and Sudan today which is a surprise to me because I am African American
East africa has a large geographical spread. There are about ten countries that make up east africa, not just Ethiopia or the horn. Also, what's your maternal haplogroup?
Remember since your are female your DNA is only maternal or your mother’s side, in order to get your full DNA report you need to ask your dad or brother to get one to get your paternal side , there maybe more Somali or something else on your paternal side
There’s an important reason for the difference in results. Humans have a total of 23 pairs of chromosomes, 22 pairs are autosomal and the 23rd pair is the sex chromosomes. Ancestry only tests the 22 autosomal which has more detailed information. 23 & Me tests all 23, hence the name. Also, modern Ethiopians are not a homogeneous group of people with no admixture, so 90% Ethiopian still likely means significant shared dna with Middle East since the Ethiopian blood people has mixed with that region for centuries.
It has already been proven in peer reviewed studies done on the Horn African genome that Horners descend from ancient African and ancient Middle Eastern ancestors. These Middle easterners were Neolithic farmers from the fertile crescent (Syria,Iraq). This admixture occurred approximately 3k years ago. genetic studies done Ethiopian crops and animals also prove an ancient migration from the Middle East. The second most frequently occuring Y-DNA in Somalis, Haplogroup T has a Middle eastern origin, Somali mtDNA hapllogroups N1a and M1 aslo have their origins in the Middle east, so does the J haplogroup found among Northern Ethiopians. So Horners denying admixture with Middle easterners are deluded and in serious denial. Equally deluded are the people who think this admixture comes from Arabs when its clearly ancient and preceded the existence of the Arab Ethno-linguistic group. Ancestry and 23andMe just interpret the same genes differently. Ancestry takes the reductionist route and breaks your genome down to its component parts, that's why it gives Horners both East African and Middle east. Whereas 23andMe just combines it and labels it East African. Heres an analogy with food lol. Say you have a dish of lasagne, if you were to say that it is 100% lasagne, you'd be right (23andMe). If you were to be a reductionist about it and break it down to its component parts you could say it is 70% pasta sheets , 20% cheese and 10% tomato sauce and you'd still be right (Ancestry), that's the difference between them.
Theory* The term your missing. The same haplo thought to originate in the middle east is quite populous closer to the horn, peaking its highest percentage in soctra island, with people whom don't look "arab". I'd say every group is mixed but the tone given towards african groups, especially eastern africans is almost to explain away their features. The same found among less "admixed" groups. As theories emerge on african genomes, and horn africans in general we should be careful. As racist tones are left in the mouths of these publishers so too will the truth emerge. It wasn't till recently, even with dna, did "science" (white science) accept east africans were indigenous africans and not white\black cross breeds. This neolithic farmer theory is a modern branch from this tree. If we can't prove they're mixed we'd credit their existence (which ties heavily to ancient egypt) to eurasians. Too many racial motives at bay to call this neolithic farmer theory unbiased. As neolithic farmers weren't genetically one group but several (thus far), and their genetics are based on a few remains, you never really know the full story. If horn africans are mixed its to the same degree EVERY ETHNIC GROUP IS. Chinese are mixed, scandinavians are mixed, an indians too. Let's keep it 100.
Its odd we acall out african admixture as being mixed but with non-africans it's "cool ancestry". Why? Because it's a eurcentric mind's chance to equate africa's existence to non--afrians again. What of north-east africans admixture throughout arabia and north africa? Is it every addressed as horn african meets arab? No? Wonder why...
The mix with Africa and middle eastern is ancient, I’d say around 3000 years ago. Also, the ancient Aksum empire conquered large parts of the Middle East. That could explain the admixture. The majority of the Somali people have the haplogroup E1b1b and T. E1b1b originated in the upper Egypt along the Nile and T originated in lower Egypt and the Levant
That's not true. 23 and me does NOT combine East African and middle eastern. Middle Eastern can be any race, there are black middle easterners. 23 and me separates East African, as just East African. Lots of people were admixed 3000 yrs ago and everyone came out of Africa. At one time the modern humans were all black. It makes no sense to mention 3000 year old DNA. Additionally, 3000 years ago many populations, including Europe was different.
I think the pure african results can come back confusing sometimes because africa is the homeland of humanity. The first test probably said you were middle eastern because the middle eastern people were probably originally people who came from your group of people in Africa.
Western Asian *is* arab! Ethiopians are essentially a mixture of Sub Saharan African - basically just Bantu - and Arabs from like Yemen that used to go to the Horn of Africa to trade. So Ancestry.com wasn't necessarily *wrong*. They just defined your Ethiopian heritage *differently*. 23 and Me says = you're Ethiopian. Full stop. While Ancestry.com says = you're Sub Saharan African mixed with Arabs - which is what Ethiopians are a mixture of....
You can show video in You tube about "tachelhit music " ( north african 's music of morocco=berbères Iam come from here ) and You can find similarities between berbères people and ethiopian people. i'm not choked about your dna results.
Jamila Nait *shocked. I found out I'm part berber (15 percent) i have been asked if i was part north african or middle east but I'm just black carribean. Can you please tell me some things about your culture and music?
Juice Cool! Amazigh people are the indigenous to North Africa found in Morocco, Algeria, tunsia, and Libya And part of canary islands They speak berber language (Tamazight) And it's consist of many varieties/dialects.

Juice Sorry for my fault. I'm French too and I created a word mixed with French by mistake...haha! Spain (and a part of portugal) has been Muslim for 8 centuries and there is a mix of culture and therefore population with North Africa. That is explains many People have african nord genes.
thank you for the info. i uploaded my results from Ancestry to My Heritage for free and it showed where in East African ..like mine showed Kenya and Somalia

I plan on doing 23 & Me; but I’m not so sure the two reports on you were conflicting. AncestryDNA does broader country assignments (It lumps a bunch of countries into one category) - seems like 23 does more specific assignments (Specifically Ethiopia). I’d be curious to know why the differences in reports and justification for the differences. Also, Somalia was indicated - celebrate it all!
Ethiopia is a Political State, but not an ethnic group of people. For example, people from the Afar region are different from people from the Amhara region and people from the Harar region are different from people from Benishangul-Gumuz and all these are different from people in the Oromo or Tigray region. This test told you that you are from Ethiopia, and you need no one to tell you that. What you is a test that can identify to which ethnic group in Ethiopia you belong.
Aysha was both of these test only your mom's side lineage? I think with you not having a y chromosome they only maternal side. Also with the ancestry DNA did you do the African ancestry DNA or the basic one. I would to see you do both test on your parents or brother.
did your Ancestry results change or get updated...mine did and it changed a lot of the smaller (under 10% results) some disappeared as others increased...i will be doing a 23&me one also
Your DNA results are exactly the same for both Ancestry and 23andME... Meaning your DNA in Ancestry DNA is still accurate, just that once 23andme got enough samples of Ethiopian dna, they started categorizing that particular mix of sub-saharan, middle Eastern and North African as Ethiopian...
This was a nice video and I like how you listened to comments and did another test when people said ancestry DNA is not accurate for East Africans (true) but where did people get this idea that 23andme is accurate in reflecting the ANCESTRY of East Africans? It's not. I've seen so many East Africans and Somalis saying we are pure blooded and using 23andme as their "evidence" don't let this test fool you into thinking it reflects the genetic ancestral composition of East Africans because it doesn't. It projects very recent admixture, like 300 years max.
Where did you get that hijab from please?! The colour suits you so much, also I took both 23andme and ancestry tests and both ests I broadly got smilar results. I am east african as well, and I got less than 50% sub saharan african! And 30% west asian and 8% south european, even though I am not mixed nor my mother or father or grandparents. Im so sad I thought I would at least 80% or more african.
If you tested recently it's probably because you are on a newer version of 23andme and from what I see you cannot compare older to newer versions.. All of my newer Habesha matches (Eritrean) seem to be 90%+ East African while every one of them before was 60-70% "East African." I thought this was strange and so i double checked with a couple of friends on there to confirm, same thing for their matches... The change happened somewhere around mid 2017.
Cool Mariam yes for trading but peoples of african horne and west asia have dominated each others if we go back to history even old african power have ruled some pat of arab world before, these region were connected for example old Ethiopian kingdom like Kingdom of Aksum which extended to southern arabia and also yemen was part of kingdom of Saba and there is long list ...
If you have middle eastern ancestry, ancestry dna is better than 23andme for a simple reason; 23andme lumps middle eastern and north African together under north African tag, however, middle eastern tag is more of Asia minor/Caucasus.
Is amazing how many people from east African have north African blood some they have a lot and little middle eastern which means is an older component so north Africans are supposed to come from the east
It is interesting about the disparity in your DNA results. I've taken the Ancestry DNA and National Geographic DNA test. My DNA is all over the place because I'm super mixed. I have had my parents take the Ancestry DNA test because my focus is genealogy research and connecting with DNA matches has helped build my family tree. The technology is advancing and these sites are taking those advances to improve the DNA results you already have. My mother is from the Philippines and Ancestry confirmed her East Asian component comes from the Philippines specifically. I'm interested to know if Ancestry pinpointed your region in Africa? My African DNA percentage is all from West Africa, specifically Nigeria and Cameroon (American here). Ancestry also locked down my African-American heritage to North Carolina, where my family is originally from.
These borders in Africa which separates countries are boundaries created by colonial europe. Look at a map and you will see that Ethiopia, sudan,somalia,Eritrea and Kenya are next to each other you are all basically the same people different tribes. That's why you look alike. Indians and Pakitani same thing.

23andme is far more accurate because they expanded their project to asses African heritage specifically east African. The human genome project, like most things, largely served European communities.

SAMAND33 you are absolutely right. This "23andme is accurate for ancestry" is a myth they only project very recent history and thus is a waste of money for Somalis because most Somalis know back to their great grandfather is somali hence the huge East African percentage . This doesn't make ancestry DNA test accurate though, they use south eastern Bantu as a misnomer for East Africans and their sample size is small.
I am from Burundi and have 70% East-african. Some Rwandans score 94%. The Maasai, Ethiopians and Somalis are the specific groups used for the East-african section so your score makes sense. I feel like Gedmatch goes way deeper than both companies.
Guillaume Rusengo
Some tribes in Rwanda and Burundi have somali ancestors.
Abdiqafar Abdullahi No they don't. I wrote that DNA companies look up for people to form samples that will represent a region. In this case the sample, as I mentioned above, is from Maasai, Somalis and Ethiopians. These people do not definitively and utterly define East-Africa. Their countries are in fact made of numerous cultures, tribes, clans, phenotypes, ancestry and genetic origins but are closely related. Doesn't mean they descend from each other, could be but not necessarily.
Can you use the 23andme data or AncestryDNA data and put it into Gedmatch or is that a separate thing?
Gambella Represent. I’m Nuer but my parents are from Gambella and my extended family lives there so I like to rep Ethiopia and South Sudan. Cause S.Sudan is the historic Nuer homeland
aysha we love our east african ppl but the reality is hareri ppl and somali are more related to each other culture religion and looks good luck u humble and nice person
faisal nur no they are not Hareri language is shemetic like amharic Somali language is totally different
Just because u have same religion doesn't mean your the same people, they are Ethiopian period.
Both of you are wrong... genetically speaking there's no difference from a close to pure Ethiopian and Somali. The reason why Aysha looks Somali is because like the average Somali she is close to pure East African. Ethiopians of the northern highlands, on the other hand, have on average significant middle eastern ancestry so they will have a much different look from the average Hareri person.
Moses T dont buy to much into that DNA stuff Aysha's video is living proof of that she had 51% middle eastern the last time now its 91.6% East african
Robel- east Africans have all come to an agreement that 23andme is accurate and not ancestry DNA. But I think the percentages can be somewhat misleading I only take interest in the haplogroups.
jerina shooting star
somalis outnumber hararis by millions in ethiopia so saying they're ethiopian makes no difference
Because you are female, the tests can only trace your maternal line - your mom, her mom, her mom, and so forth. If you have a brother who will take the test, you'll know the maternal and paternal lineage on your dad's side and you'll gain the knowledge of the paternal line on your mom's side. My ancestors are from England, Croatia, Netherlands, Germany, France, Senegal, Nigeria, Iran, Eastern Africa (listed as broadly Eastern African) and South Asia(which unfortunately didn't break down further) Iberia, Serbia, and Scandinavia. I tested and so did my dad, so those are combined. I'll have to get one of my mom's brothers to test to find out the paternal lineage on my mom's side.
I clicked b/c I thought you were Somali. I love Harari people and culture. I stayed in Harar for two weeks years back, the house decoration and design is very unique.

I'm also Ethiopian (Amhara), and I've always considered doing one of these tests. I'm pretty sure I'll get 90% or more EA like you did, so I'm more curious about the health report than I am about anything else. Seeing your ancestry laid out on a timeline like that does seem pretty interesting though.
I know an amhara friend who got 98 EA (huge percentage was in Ethiopia and Eritrea , small percentage Rwanda and Kenya ) and 2% NA (Egypt and Sudan)
She did it on ancestry
AMHARA 98% east african is NOT possible... Your a east african only speaking amharic.
inalienable rights its possible cuz some arabs call all Ethiopians “abeed” which is a curse unfortunately regardless of Ethiopians backgrounds and ethnic groups
@@ra8682ra possibly. There are many cushite subclans followed amhara while most of cushites are followed islam(muslim).waaq time than went to Christian.anyhow we have same lineage genes.somalis .oroma.afat agew.sidamo.saho.iraqw.subclanes be became amhara
But most more.
African Ancestry helps trace you back to an ethnic group and country. The problem with both 23 n Me and Ancestry is that it was made mostly for Europeans. They didn't bother to look up ethnic groups in Africa as much. So I would recommend this, it's more expensive, but it also caters specifically those of African decent.
The city of Harar has had a long history with somalis. Also somalis live in ogadenia which is close to harar.
shums knowels it was founded by Somali leader Ahmed gurey
shums knowels sheekhaal e m123
Mohammed Baddar they are Harla
Ethiopia is a country that was formed in the last century and occupies land of certain ethnicities. For example, they occupy the ogaden region that belongs to somalia and there was a war that was fought for the land. There's also the ormos, the largest ethnic group in ethiopia that have been marginalised ever since the country was formed. When you think of ethiopia, it's mainly go to do with the habeshas which are a different ethnic group. Hararis are a semtic speaking group of people and they had a close history with somalis afars etc.
If Hararis have no kinship to Somalis, then explain for me why they fought with Somalis in 1977 war? Many of them even wanted to be apart of the Somali republic. Anyways, who gives a fuck about Hararis, the Oromos are running them over and Harar today is basically apart of Oromia, thanks to the Qeerroo.

Salam sister! I would love to see an updated video on your results as they have likely changed over the years and have gotten more specific :)
Sub-Saharan Africa, which includes Ethiopia, covers many countries in the continent excepting north African countries, but you can easily Google it. Also love to all Africans, as part of the same continent, it's important to be more inclusive, not dividing pride to east, west, north or south. It shouldn't be a surprise to share dna with anyone from any region within your continent, and yet not be surprised to share dna from a region outside of your continent.

23andme is updated now. Check your results again.
A very interesting result!! I appreciate that you showed us the DNA results of both DNA Ancestry & 23andMe to contrast. I think they both do not have the right DNA data base for the region but it gives some sense for me. Despite huge differences between the two, they both can be used depending on your purpose of DNA testing. If you want the very old root of your ancestry (5-10T), choose DNA ancesstry, you still find similar results with other Ethiopian (those used DNA ancesstry). Do you see our ethnic identity and claimed roots are made up of just religious myths? We are always in one cluster.
Dang, girl! Your skin is glowing! Red looks great on you.
Hi Aysha, just wanted to let you know that the population of Harari people has grown tremendously. Ethiopia's population has grown from 50 million to 115 million in about 30 years! Hararis are about 200,000 now. They are still tiny compared to the more prominent tribes of Ethiopia that are mostly in the millions.
If you count half Hararis like me I'm sure the number rises to at least 350,000.
If the population of Ethiopia keeps on growing by the same rate there will at least be 500,000 Hararis in no time. 😊
I did both tests. The results were very similar, but one is more detailed than the other.. But my problems with both tests is that I would really like to know more specifics about my African ancestry in respects to tribes.
Love that you’re so proud of your background.
*Yasss keep taking pride in your culture . i would wanna do this test*
I did ancestry and I have wanted to try 23 and me for a while. I am 28% Benin/Togo, 18% Southeastern Bantu, 12% Mali, 10% Nigeria, 9% Scottish, 5% Cameroon/Congo, 4% Sengal, 4% Finland, 4% South Europe, 2% West Europe, 1% Ivory Coast, 1% Iberian peninsula, 1% Great Britain, 1% Native American.....lol that's a lot.
I'm super proud. When I got my results back, I was super proud. :) That's awesome!!!!

Cliff Smith because my culture is a beautiful culture that's why and im proud. There are some practices that i don't agree with but i still love my culture, country and people. Where are u from?
"Broadly" mainly means very old genes that goes many thousands of years in the past so are not related to a location, they are just indigenous everywhere.
I took a test with myheritage and it came back saying: 95% Somali, 4.3% Middle eastern & 0.07% Chinese and Vietnamese. My mom is btw from Mogadishu (southern Somalia) and my dad from Hargeisa (northern Somalia)
I took the ancestry one and it pretty much came out as I expected to since I’m African American, but seeing how different your results were for this test I really want to try 23 and me just to compare.
Are you a true African American or are you just a black American with distant African ancestors? I will never understand why black Americans insist on calling themselves Africans when they have nothing in common with Africa except that they have black skin and know nothing about that continent and its populations...
@@sparkle408While 4 years too late,that is the stupidest I've ever heard. Africa is a continent and having origins from there doesn't make any group non-African if they still exist and retain cultural elements. Now if you meant a specific African group,you would be somewhat right as Black in the Americas are a mixed African population.
I have 23 and me, I'm european and it does show up relative matches, you get updates all the time as new people that are related to you register. But I can understand that not so many people from Ethiopia have tried it. My wife is from Somalia, so I am going to order a test for her, it will be really interesting to see if its as accurate as yours was. Great video.
Any update?
@@AO00720 yes, she came back as 100% somali/ethiopia. It found some dna relative as well.
Not a surprise really because harar is known for having a lot of different ethnicity mostly middle eastern personally I'm harari too but my mom side there is hadrami/Syrian my dad side is Yemeni
Mariam Ibrahim you wanna believe you're 'mixed' so bad smh
I do not need to explain myself and show how much proud I am of my ancestry and I do not need a test to prove it I come from Mohammed peace be upon him ancestors and who said that I don't have African blood in me ?
Please next time read carefully I was just talking about my family tree as a harari person

Mohammed Baddar we dont want anything to do with you
Yes, I thought you were Somali when I clicked on the link. I lived in Saudi Arabia 1 year and Qatar for 6 years. I knew a lot of Ethiopians. However, I had friends that lived near the borders to other countries and had those features. Could that be why? Is your family located near the Somali or Kenyan border? Update @ 8:00 answered my question.
TheBlueRage Harar is nearby Somalis
Professional Hacker harar use to be a Somali city
I'm so glad your test was more accurate with 23andme. I'm so excited now. I did the test and I'm waiting for my results now.
I guess I'll go with 23 and me, because me being an African American I don't know much about my African heritage. That's because no one really teach us African Americans much about Africa in the U.S. Usually we got to find out for ourselves through the internet or find a class in college that teaches us things about Africa. So, wish me luck.
I have been waiting for this video for so long. Thanks for sharing your results :)
Can't wait to see the difference.
Would love to see more testing of your tribe.
Yes!!! I’m so glad you took the 23 and me dna test! A lot of East Africans took the ancestry dna test and people(non-east African) were running with it saying dumb stuff like “I knew they were mixed” lol
Most east Africans are mixed. 23 and me only tries to match with current ancestry with a definite which means it looks at matching up genetic diffusion going back about 300 years before it tries to match you with other groups.
East African they are caucasians
@@axumitedessalegn3549 most East Africans are NOT mixed. African diversity exists with ZERO outside mixture. Just stop.
@@axumitedessalegn3549Most East Africans are Bantus, they're are not mostly Horners. The fact you don't know this shows how ignorant you are about the region and that your claim that East Africans are mixed, when you really meant Horners, is based in ignorance and assumptions. Most Horners are not mixed. Those that are mixed are mainly Habeshas.
@brucewinters-cr4it not all east Africans are bantus. But I know most east Africans are bantu hybrids, south west of ethiopia all the way to south Africa other than some tribes in south africa. Most of the bantu in east Africa are mixed with ancient east African hunter-gatherers that are now extinct and eurasian, especially in rawanda.

alot of Somalis are in Ethiopia actually OGANEN REGION
CABITAL CITY OF JIGJIGA
Abdalla osman Oscanno Ogaden originally belongs to Somalia so people in ogaden are of somali ancestry
ethnic Somalis reside in Somalia , Djibouti , Kenya and Ethiopia
Gelila
why make up shit? ogaden region is somali, and is named after the ogaden clan which is a somali clan. the ogaden desert was controlled by Britain and was transferred to ethiopia, even today the region is called "somali regional state" in the ethiopian federal system, ogaden desert is suitable for somali nomadic pastoralists not the highland habesha ruling class. go do some research idiot,
Abdalla osman Oscanno who cares ?
It is not Ogaden Region it's called Somali Galbeed
Ethiopia is home to different ethnic groups, so your DNA is close to Somali
you read my mind, i was looking at 23 and me today to maybe get a dna test!
I’ve done both dna tests as well and I feel like 23&me was much more specific to countries.
Hi sister. I was listening your video, and I was exciting but you didn't say anything about region, my Niece has done 23andme and it gave her exact place in Ethiopia with 97%. would you mind if you tell us about region .
Thank you
Did they say what your haplogroup group was? I found out that mine is only found in Ethiopia and Sudan today which is a surprise to me because I am African American
Can you an update video?
East africa has a large geographical spread. There are about ten countries that make up east africa, not just Ethiopia or the horn. Also, what's your maternal haplogroup?
Remember since your are female your DNA is only maternal or your mother’s side, in order to get your full DNA report you need to ask your dad or brother to get one to get your paternal side , there maybe more Somali or something else on your paternal side
There’s an important reason for the difference in results. Humans have a total of 23 pairs of chromosomes, 22 pairs are autosomal and the 23rd pair is the sex chromosomes. Ancestry only tests the 22 autosomal which has more detailed information. 23 & Me tests all 23, hence the name. Also, modern Ethiopians are not a homogeneous group of people with no admixture, so 90% Ethiopian still likely means significant shared dna with Middle East since the Ethiopian blood people has mixed with that region for centuries.
It has already been proven in peer reviewed studies done on the Horn African genome that Horners descend from ancient African and ancient Middle Eastern ancestors. These Middle easterners were Neolithic farmers from the fertile crescent (Syria,Iraq). This admixture occurred approximately 3k years ago. genetic studies done Ethiopian crops and animals also prove an ancient migration from the Middle East. The second most frequently occuring Y-DNA in Somalis, Haplogroup T has a Middle eastern origin, Somali mtDNA hapllogroups N1a and M1 aslo have their origins in the Middle east, so does the J haplogroup found among Northern Ethiopians. So Horners denying admixture with Middle easterners are deluded and in serious denial. Equally deluded are the people who think this admixture comes from Arabs when its clearly ancient and preceded the existence of the Arab Ethno-linguistic group.
Ancestry and 23andMe just interpret the same genes differently. Ancestry takes the reductionist route and breaks your genome down to its component parts, that's why it gives Horners both East African and Middle east. Whereas 23andMe just combines it and labels it East African. Heres an analogy with food lol. Say you have a dish of lasagne, if you were to say that it is 100% lasagne, you'd be right (23andMe). If you were to be a reductionist about it and break it down to its component parts you could say it is 70% pasta sheets , 20% cheese and 10% tomato sauce and you'd still be right (Ancestry), that's the difference between them.
Theory* The term your missing. The same haplo thought to originate in the middle east is quite populous closer to the horn, peaking its highest percentage in soctra island, with people whom don't look "arab". I'd say every group is mixed but the tone given towards african groups, especially eastern africans is almost to explain away their features. The same found among less "admixed" groups. As theories emerge on african genomes, and horn africans in general we should be careful.
As racist tones are left in the mouths of these publishers so too will the truth emerge. It wasn't till recently, even with dna, did "science" (white science) accept east africans were indigenous africans and not white\black cross breeds. This neolithic farmer theory is a modern branch from this tree.
If we can't prove they're mixed we'd credit their existence (which ties heavily to ancient egypt) to eurasians. Too many racial motives at bay to call this neolithic farmer theory unbiased.
As neolithic farmers weren't genetically one group but several (thus far), and their genetics are based on a few remains, you never really know the full story.
If horn africans are mixed its to the same degree EVERY ETHNIC GROUP IS. Chinese are mixed, scandinavians are mixed, an indians too. Let's keep it 100.
Its odd we acall out african admixture as being mixed but with non-africans it's "cool ancestry". Why? Because it's a eurcentric mind's chance to equate africa's existence to non--afrians again. What of north-east africans admixture throughout arabia and north africa? Is it every addressed as horn african meets arab? No? Wonder why...
The mix with Africa and middle eastern is ancient, I’d say around 3000 years ago.
Also, the ancient Aksum empire conquered large parts of the Middle East. That could explain the admixture.
The majority of the Somali people have the haplogroup E1b1b and T.
E1b1b originated in the upper Egypt along the Nile and T originated in lower Egypt and the Levant
That's not true. 23 and me does NOT combine East African and middle eastern. Middle Eastern can be any race, there are black middle easterners. 23 and me separates East African, as just East African. Lots of people were admixed 3000 yrs ago and everyone came out of Africa. At one time the modern humans were all black. It makes no sense to mention 3000 year old DNA. Additionally, 3000 years ago many populations, including Europe was different.
I think the pure african results can come back confusing sometimes because africa is the homeland of humanity. The first test probably said you were middle eastern because the middle eastern people were probably originally people who came from your group of people in Africa.
Your make up is so beautiful again!
I am east African too. Is there anyway we can do those tests in East Africa or close to east Africa.
Western Asian *is* arab!
Ethiopians are essentially a mixture of Sub Saharan African - basically just Bantu - and Arabs from like Yemen that used to go to the Horn of Africa to trade. So Ancestry.com wasn't necessarily *wrong*. They just defined your Ethiopian heritage *differently*. 23 and Me says = you're Ethiopian. Full stop. While Ancestry.com says = you're Sub Saharan African mixed with Arabs - which is what Ethiopians are a mixture of....

I’m West African and I’ve always wanted to do the test.
Mary-Adeline Ngwa, 23&Me is more suitable for East Africans, Ancestry DNA is more suitable for West Africans and African Americans.
I plan on doing 23 & Me; but I’m not so sure the two reports on you were conflicting. AncestryDNA does broader country assignments (It lumps a bunch of countries into one category) - seems like 23 does more specific assignments (Specifically Ethiopia). I’d be curious to know why the differences in reports and justification for the differences. Also, Somalia was indicated - celebrate it all!
Ethiopia is a Political State, but not an ethnic group of people. For example, people from the Afar region are different from people from the Amhara region and people from the Harar region are different from people from Benishangul-Gumuz and all these are different from people in the Oromo or Tigray region. This test told you that you are from Ethiopia, and you need no one to tell you that. What you is a test that can identify to which ethnic group in Ethiopia you belong.
Aysha was both of these test only your mom's side lineage? I think with you not having a y chromosome they only maternal side. Also with the ancestry DNA did you do the African ancestry DNA or the basic one. I would to see you do both test on your parents or brother.
did your Ancestry results change or get updated...mine did and it changed a lot of the smaller (under 10% results) some disappeared as others increased...i will be doing a 23&me one also

Your DNA results are exactly the same for both Ancestry and 23andME... Meaning your DNA in Ancestry DNA is still accurate, just that once 23andme got enough samples of Ethiopian dna, they started categorizing that particular mix of sub-saharan, middle Eastern and North African as Ethiopian...
This was a nice video and I like how you listened to comments and did another test when people said ancestry DNA is not accurate for East Africans (true) but where did people get this idea that 23andme is accurate in reflecting the ANCESTRY of East Africans? It's not. I've seen so many East Africans and Somalis saying we are pure blooded and using 23andme as their "evidence" don't let this test fool you into thinking it reflects the genetic ancestral composition of East Africans because it doesn't. It projects very recent admixture, like 300 years max.
warka iskadaa we are pure East Africans
Nadia jama, can you tell me who mixed with before 300 years ago?
Love these kind of dna/ancestry videos! Would love to do one test like this myself
We getting ready for your ramadan vlogs...
Where did you get that hijab from please?! The colour suits you so much, also I took both 23andme and ancestry tests and both ests I broadly got smilar results. I am east african as well, and I got less than 50% sub saharan african! And 30% west asian and 8% south european, even though I am not mixed nor my mother or father or grandparents. Im so sad I thought I would at least 80% or more african.
What tribe of east africa? Amhar? Oromo? Somalo?
Has anyone tried African Ancestry? Breaks it down further from what I've heard
Try African Ancestry website because they can locate your tribe specifically.
(Ethiopian) 96% east African here :) 2% north African and middle eastern...from 23 and me...I guess similar to yours...
Cool Mariam ..true!.. am really surprised that how much other Ethiopians have big % of middle eastern in them. Mine is considerably a lot less...
If you tested recently it's probably because you are on a newer version of 23andme and from what I see you cannot compare older to newer versions.. All of my newer Habesha matches (Eritrean) seem to be 90%+ East African while every one of them before was 60-70% "East African." I thought this was strange and so i double checked with a couple of friends on there to confirm, same thing for their matches... The change happened somewhere around mid 2017.
Cool Mariam yes for trading but peoples of african horne and west asia have dominated each others if we go back to history even old african power have ruled some pat of arab world before, these region were connected for example old Ethiopian kingdom like Kingdom of Aksum which extended to southern arabia and also yemen was part of kingdom of Saba and there is long list ...
G/whaid Deres oh okay! That explains it. Thanks for the explanation.
If you have middle eastern ancestry, ancestry dna is better than 23andme for a simple reason; 23andme lumps middle eastern and north African together under north African tag, however, middle eastern tag is more of Asia minor/Caucasus.
Is amazing how many people from east African have north African blood some they have a lot and little middle eastern which means is an older component so north Africans are supposed to come from the east
Blessings to you, Queen. I’m so late, but please share the shade and brand of your lipstick in this video. So bomb!!!🤩🤩🤩

Thank you doing an update. Now I want to do my ancestry results....
It is interesting about the disparity in your DNA results. I've taken the Ancestry DNA and National Geographic DNA test. My DNA is all over the place because I'm super mixed. I have had my parents take the Ancestry DNA test because my focus is genealogy research and connecting with DNA matches has helped build my family tree. The technology is advancing and these sites are taking those advances to improve the DNA results you already have. My mother is from the Philippines and Ancestry confirmed her East Asian component comes from the Philippines specifically. I'm interested to know if Ancestry pinpointed your region in Africa? My African DNA percentage is all from West Africa, specifically Nigeria and Cameroon (American here). Ancestry also locked down my African-American heritage to North Carolina, where my family is originally from.
Girl I have been watching your vedio For quite a while For some reason at that your Somalian, heyyyy my Ethiopian sister I am fan of your video 100%
Aww you say Harar exactly like my Ethiopian mum. It totally makes sense but it's still cute
These borders in Africa which separates countries are boundaries created by colonial europe. Look at a map and you will see that Ethiopia, sudan,somalia,Eritrea and Kenya are next to each other you are all basically the same people different tribes. That's why you look alike. Indians and Pakitani same thing.
Sub is a prefix meaning below. Sub-Saharan African would be a broad term meaning any country below the Sahara. Submarine=below the sea... :)
