I am so sorry you were more interested in finding out where you came from then being concerned about where and by who this testing is done. It has already been proven it is not accurate but probable. You have just put out a call for the Bill and Melinda Gates Alphabet Corporation. So Thank you for being the next Fool. They want more DNA samples and we get to talk about this bullshitery 😝Again
Interesting topic I’m mix on both sides My father ancestors are melanated american natives and irish and my mother ancestors taino african and spainard
Your mixer of being mixed race is so unique compared to most. I say that to say this, your facial features and skin color is white passing for sure, except for your beautiful hair. Plus, it's rare to see mixed race people who are white passing with beautiful type 4 curls. Usually we see loose curls, which is not a bad thing, but your look is so rare and different. I love love your appearance😇🤗😇🤗😇
Alex Howard honestly I would disagree. I think she could pass, and would to my eye. For me this is just a reminder that race truly is a human construct, we’ve all moved around and mixed so much over millennia, that it’s really interesting to learn about that, but the whole labeling part comes from racism, to divide us.
Alex Howard Greetings. If her hair was covered, people could mistake her for people from Cyprus and Albania, for example. I am darker than her and Africans and European people think I am Tamil or Middle Eastern, for example.
I’m half Armenian from my father and Mexican from my mother. According to 23&Me I’m 39.7% Middle Eastern and North African •Western Asian •Broadly West Asian and North African 31.1% Native American •México •Broadly Native American 15% European •Iberian • Ashkenazi Jewish 12% Sub Saharan African •West Africa ~1% Unassigned
Blackskinis Amazing she doesn’t look white in the pfp she looks Middle Eastern but I guess she could put mixed because that’s an option too and she said she was mixed
@Blackskinis Amazing No one with a full head of natural 4c hair looks like a "typical white woman." Her bone structure and her face actually look just like what she is....a mixed woman with African AND European ancestry. It's kind of obvious you're not familiar with her channel she identifies with what she is, which means all aspects of herself including the African diasporic parts. it would make no sense for her to be disavowing her mother. It seems like your trying to make a point that isnt true here. Fortunately not all people who could try and pass as "more white" want to.
I want to do one of these! There is one, African Ancestry that focuses on specifically the African side and claims to able to get down to the actual tribe or really really close. Very cool and informative results.
Jermaine Au Natural:. No company's test can take you down to a specific tribe. We have been mixed with so many tribal groups that you can't make that distinction. Do your research before committing to a company.
@@JermaineAuNatural I've seen them and they do claim that but it is not the truth. I was always a skeptic of that claim and a segment on 60 Minutes proved me right to be a skeptic. I have taken an Ancestry DNA test and I'm alright with the results so far. Here is a link to the 60 Minutes video. th-cam.com/video/eKDe536JyVM/w-d-xo.html
beaujac311 I think you can do more research once you get your results from dna testing sites like for example, I found that many Caribbean background people had Bantu mixture tribes along with Nilotic tribes. But it’s going to be a list of tribes not just one.
The Chinese Asian could be Malagasy. Some enslaved Africans were also taken from as far east Madagascar. You should have your mom take a test. She could be a quarter Euro since you have a high percentage of Euro DNA. What is your Maternal Haplogroup ? If its African, It could give you ball park of where in West Africa they are from. Im L1c1c and it goes back to the Fulani in Guinea Bissau. So it could definitely help.
Thanks for sharing! I found your channel because we are a similar mix both with lighter skin and type 4 hair - my mother is black/African American and my father is white/Caucasian -- and I've been following your hair care routine too! My results were basically 54/46, so somewhat similar.
Hey Joy-el. You should also get your parents to do the test as well. That would give you a better idea on the breakdown of the percentages of your ethnicities.
Emily Van Heukelom Greetings. No test can ever do that. People have to combine traditional genealogical research with genetic testing. For instance, my mother and I tested but I have Iberian DNA and not my mother. I match two close Portuguese and Puerto Rican families. I surmise the connection is via my unknown paternal great grandmother. In Joy-el’ case, at least one of her parents have to take the test and then she has to study her cousin matches to see which are via her mother or father and learn about their ancestry and build her genealogical tree. As well she has to use chromosome painting to see how she matches cousins on particular chromosomes. Also, the test you are referring to is one line, the unbroken maternal line called mtDNA. Besides, the matrilineal line only accounts for 2% of a person’s total genome.
I’m so happy with your positivity and you don’t take it personally or seem annoyed when people ask you those questions. I’d be so irritated of people asking me what I’m mixed with. Nice video!
Dae W Greetings. Africans can easily spot out who is from the continent and who is part of the African diaspora, especially those who are mixed looking or simply look like they are from a different part of the world. Even Europeans and other people throughout the world will naturally inquire about someone’s background. I think the unease of anyone feeling irritated are those who are not aware of their mixed ancestry and they have no clue and they were brought up using socio political labels like “black”.
I love these “ancestry” type videos! Hope you’ll do one with AncestryDNA (vs 23 & Me): AncestryDNA has by far the largest database, so it would be interesting to see to comparison/difference regarding your results.
I did the ancestry.com test which shows that I'm 84% African. But I'm not surprised at your results because you have European features with African hair.
Crazy she looks like some of my family and they are just AA with mixture down the line I can always tell when someone is mixed no matter how white looking
I've done several of these tests and they are pretty good at a continental level, but you can get different results from a country specific level on each test. Over time they also change those countries of origin based on their updates to the tests. My highest percentage countries have change 4 times over the years. So, just know that they likely have the continents right, and general regions (i.e. West African), but country identification is still an evolving science.
My ancestry places me at 70% African (mainly Ghanaian) and 28% British Scottish Irish and 2% Spanish! Literally crazy how DNA works! I wear a 300 in fenty and have a shit ton of freckles and copper coloured hair. I’m adopted and really didn’t know if I was mixed cause I look mixed but had no idea if I was really just redboned! My siblings all half siblings look like a rainbow lol
We literally have very similar percentages European, Sub-Saharan African, Chinese and east Asian along with native American. By my European is mainly Eastern European Polish then scattered European. Many Nigerians and Ghanaian as well.
For anyone please dont say black when your skin color is not black/dark skin what so ever. I mean you could honestly say your African American or mixed but don’t go around saying delusional out of this world shit when your not black or do not have dark skin what so ever. Color is the reason why racism is happening and most lightskins don’t know what it’s like to have darkskin in this world. All I’m saying is stop calling y’all self black y’all only get the choice to say African American or mixed. Since when did light skins turn black ? Lightskins were never black that’s the reason. Y’all wanna call yak self black to make y’all look harder and official y’all ain’t no dark Africans or African Anericans walking on this world y’all some lightskins/whiteskins who are upset cus they have white/European blood in them. How bout y’all start connecting to y’all White side. It’ll honestly make y’all feel better because the only reasons why lightskins calling there self black is because they know they are not and want to be seen as black/dark.
You are a perfect mix in your features! I love all your features. I have a niece who is half German and half African (my family). I am 100% African (can see my DNA results) but more light skin than my niece. In Africa we can come out in infinite ways. We represent the whole world (maybe exception is Scandinavian looks), but we have mongoloid features and many features considered European.
Very interesting! I'm also into this stuff these days - just ordered my 23andMe pack. Please do a proper ancestrial family tree graph using the info from your family members and also from here to map out everything. That would be super-duper cool to see who came from where when. The only reason I'm saying this is because you have a very interesting family background, very mixed at different times and also as you mentioned some of your family members know about your grand grand parents. So, maybe give it a go please?)))
Says who? In that case I am not a person because only two of my ethnicities are over 25% the rest are small amounts of this a that race is flawed 🤦🏾♀️
I love doing these tests. I did mine, as a primarily Jewish person :D, on Ancestry but they aren't as detailed as other tests I've seen. I will defi itely consider 23andMe in the future! Also the sneak peek is already interesting! 😄
look at our hair.... im more african than you! but it comes out in melanin! (snapchat and filter made me look waay lighter) and for you, it comes out in your hair! genetics are incredible lol
PAISLEY PRINCESS After looking at more recent vids from her, she looks to be mostly 4B with a mix of random areas of 4A and 4C throughout. That’s the same texture mix I have. It’s not 4A primarily and definitely not 3C...not even close on that. She doesn’t have a defined curl pattern at all with dry hair.
This was so much fun - thanks for posting! I love that you have more African ancestry than me, and I’m not biracial LOL. I’m from New Orleans so like most black/Creole folks here, my ancestry (according to AncestryDNA) is French, UK (England), and Africa (Senegal etc). There were no surprises for me on that front (French, English, and African ... yep, knew that my whole life); but I loved that I found out that I have more than 2% Scandinavian (huh?!) plus a bit of Middle Eastern/Mediterranean thrown in.
From New Orleans too girrrl! But imma Quarteroon, my Mother is Biracial and my Father is black. I’m a Quarter German, my mother’s dad was Creole mixed. Gotta love being from New Orleans right lol 😂💕
How in the hell does a video like this get dislikes? Seriously? Anyway, me personally, I've never been curious to know. Like Phoenixspin below said, I am black mixed with black.
Yeah I did 23and me and I was 65% Sub-Saharan African (Nigerian, Congolese, Ethiopian, Sudanese, Gambian, Ghanian, ect.) 15% East Asian/Native American (Native blood from United States and the Dominican Republic, Myanmar, Filipino/Austrian, Chinese), 5% Northern Asian (Thiland, Korea, Vitenam, and Chinese), and then 15% European (Iberian Peninsula, Britain, Italy, Greece, Scandinavian, Ireland, Norwegian, ect.) I am so proud of all that African ancestry though! But with all that Asian and European blood I really had to ask my mom and dad some serious questions about where they have been
Jessica Smith Greetings. I will surmise that Ethiopian DNA is likely statistical noise. If you have no known recent ancestors from Ethiopia, it is likely an error as no Ethiopians were enslaved and brought to the Americas during the So called Trans Atlantic Slave Trade. All genetic genealogists have warned people not to take their estimates seriously as this part of testing is the least reliable; on the other hand cousin matches are accurate and people should be studying their matches to confirm their ancestral makeup.
001islandprincess all I know/ what we’re taught as an East African, most of our slaves were taken to Middle East . You can find a few of them too in Brazil due to the Portuguese who came to spread Christianity in Kenya but took some slaves with them. Then also 99% of the ancestry dna videos I’ve seen none of them have East African dna . Ok so you’re saying then it’s a statistical error that most people don’t have Ethiopian ancestry in them ?
💛💙 My father is swedish and my mother is cameroonian. According to ancestry I'm: 50% Cameroon, Congo and Western Bantu Peoples 33% Swedish 9% Finland 6% Norway 2% Germanic region in Europe 💚❤💛
My African American father is really dark skinned so it didnt surprise me that I'm like 53% european and 47% African American. I'm pretty dark for being mixed and I think most biracial people are more like you having mostly European DNA. Gotta love it. We are literally the product of some bad ass rebel parents lol.
Actually it's The San, then the Khoi Khoi THEN it's the Khoi San... The San came first (20,000 years ago) Khoi Khoi (2000 years) the Khoi San (I don't remember)
@@friedaroms8021 no problem, I actually come from South Africa and we learn about it in Grade 3-9 I think (not sure), they are still alive but most of them are dead and extinct due to illnesses
From a DNA standpoint, biracial exists on a spectrum: typically somewhere between 61% (African or European) to 39% (African or European), and all the combinations in between, like 57/43, 49/51, etc. Most biracial people, especially in the Americas, are rarely genetically 50/50. Just like most people who identify solely as black here in the Americas are rarely 100% sub-Saharan African. They're typically somewhere between 89%-64% (African) to 11%-36% (European). So, in fact, most of us are "mixed" but all of us are not "biracial." The African diaspora is quite beautiful in all its diversity.✊🏽
How in the heck could you confuse those two??? They look nothing alike! What do you see when you look in the mirror Africa or native American? I live in new Mexico and let me tell you Indains are not black actually most of them are very raciest towards blacks
I didn't count my 1-2 percentages.. because they change all the time.. My African hunters, just about all people of African decent has that.. mine came back 67% west African. This was great to watch to see what bi-racial DNA results.
As I recall this lady was only 0.3% Native American so that could mean that her ancestry may be So. American. And it's very difficult from that small percentage to pinpoint the tribe, because there are 530+ tribes just in No. America. AND, if ancestry couldn't pinpoint an African tribe, they're not going to be able to say you're a Choctaw either. That percentage is Very Small.
Very cool. We have a similar percentage of African DNA. I got 39% sub Saharan Africa on Ancestry and 39.5% in 23andme. The remaining 60-1% is European. I have 0.5% unassuaged on 23andme.
I did ancestry.com....my mom is Italian and dad is African American...my ancestry came back 50% southern Italian, 20% scottish , 30% west african. I thought it would be more 50/50
That's because most African Americans who've been here for several generations, especially if you can trace back to slavery has some mixture of white and black. So apparently the man (most likely) who was your great or great great grandfather may have been either italian or scottish (and probably other European mixtures.) Very few African Americans are 50/50 these days if their parentage is mixed, because the black parent is probably already mixed.
Veronica Dabney Exactly. People seem to think that Black Americans are 100% Black genetically. Nope. That’s why you see the range of facial features, hair textures, skin tones and body types with us that differ from our West African ancestors.
Sable 711 Well, I’m not trying to imply that I’m suspicious. From what I know for sure on my White side, the accuracy was dead on. Family is from a very German dense Midwest town, 2 Grandparents are from Germany and low and behold I’m super German( which is common). But i mostly did this for my moms side and I only know they’ve been here since slavery. Low and behold, I’m heavy on the West African which is where most slaves derived from with a sprinkle of everything else. Kind of a no brainer there on why it’s like that. Don’t know why they’d “lie”.
@@lourdesblueblood1 Do you also have the Baden Wurtemberg connection like Joyel? You can see it listed on the German part (She is Swiss too.) I am curious because a lot of those from Kansas were Volga Germans living in Russia and very Catholic. Baden Wurtemberg is a Catholic province in Germany. It is my mother's side that is German and I knew they came from that province, even visited and met some of them and 23 and Me got that correct.
@@lourdesblueblood1 yes I've got that German part in me too! I was quite shocked! Unless I misunderstood, I did not like the findings of the health part of the 23andMe because it appeared as though the results were based on findings for Caucasian relatives primarily with no focus on others of color and I didn't find that very helpful. Perhaps I was interpreting it wrong but I intend to complain about that. If I am 50/50 oh, why did they choose the half that was Caucasian 2 come up with those statistics?
Sable 711 It wouldn’t be wise to complain about something you may not understand. I would read every piece top to bottom. It likely means that you inherited gene variants/ mutations from your white side and not your Black side. On my health side, I have a mix but I mostly inherited gene mutations or defects from my Black side.. and I’m 43% Black 53% White, so not even 50/50. So maybe you’re White gene pool is just stronger. 🤷🏽♀️
I am 22% North African (I think Morocco), 15% Senegalese, 11% Malian, 1% Nigerian on my dads side (he is black Moroccan) and 23% Irish, 23% Scottish, 2% French and 3% North Western European and English on my mums side. My original results were 47% Irish and Scottish, 23% North African, 12% Senegalese, 11% Malian, 3% Nigerian, 1% North Western Europe, 1% Portuguese and 1% Swedish and that’s before the update to AncestryDNA yesterday and each percentage says it ranges from one number to another so for example the North African percentage ranges from 21% to 28%, the Senegalese percentage ranges from 15% to 37%, the Malian percentage ranges from 11% to 21% and the Scottish which was counted as Scottish and Irish before the update which makes more sense because my mothers parents were of Irish descent and her fathers family were from Waterford in Southern Ireland ranges from 4% to 25% and the Irish ranges from 0% to 24%
@@johnnydept4082 If you reread my answer you will see that the first set of percentages are my new results after the AncestryDNA update and the second set of my numbers are my old results from when i first did it
N A they is no middle eastern in East Africans as they are the oldest also there is no enough sample for East Africans so the dna is not accurate for them and this person said North East African :)
Nana H there is check most East Africans ancestry dna tests on TH-cam have some middle eastern dna . Mostly people of Horn of Africa but also I’ve seen Kenyans and south Sudanese with middle eastern ancestry search you’ll see. That’s due to the East Africans slave trade with the Middle East . People from the Zanzibar (tanzania)and Swahili coast of Kenya literally call themselves waarabu meaning arabs
N A dna is not accurate for East African also East African are not mixed please get your facts right East African are the oldest beings everything started in East Africa:)
Your literally white 😆 this was funny to me because alot of biracial kids dont realize that their black half was mixed as well.. Both of my parents are black but im almost half european in dna.
@1salvaje She is not literally white. Her results are typical of someone who has a white parent and a black parent. Most black people are of admixture themselves which is why her European mix is over 50%. It isn't because of her Dad it is because of her Mom. A lot of black people can do this too and will come out with at least 15-20% European even with 2 black parents. I know plenty of black people in my family and friends who have taken the test. Based on phenotype you would never think there was any admixture in their blood. Yet, all of my family and friends came out with at least 15% of European DNA. And we all have 2 black parents.
A lot if not most “African Americans” have at least one biracial parent, grand parent or great grand parent. She is multicultural, biracial, mixed call it what you want she not just white.
I was so against dna testing for a bit, self identity matters the most. Making assumptions towards someones appearance is a bit rude. But if I was to make a guess (like others in the comment section) I would have guessed European and Egyptian with minor mixes. Which are pale and brown identities. It is very interesting to see how people identify, I have a little bit of a darker pigmant than her and I identify as brown + mixed. Background of traits is important, but nothing can shape you like where you live/born, who raised you, and your cultural interests rather than what comes up on a dna kit. Self identity means the most out of anything. Though 60 percent may be european one might feel 80 percent european. If anyone is doing a dna kit also, remember that :)
You looked a little disappointed or maybe surprised.....when you saw the large percentage of European ..heritage and ethnicity isn’t always summed up by genetics 🧬..you are a gorgeous biracial woman.. with awesome 4c hair...
I want to do this for my kids. My husband and I [African and Mexican American] have two healthy babies. They are polar opposite; one has beautiful curly hair, brown eyes brown hair and brown skin the other has blue eyes, blondish hair and light skin. He gets a lot of head turns because both my husband and I have black hair, brown eyes and brown skin 👀. So we get a lot of questions. I wonder if they have kits for kids.
@@kaaraelise4557 thank you. I am concern because the spit container is an adult size. Trying to get a toddler or little kid to spit that much is not very easy for us. It would take a LONG time. So that's why I am curious if they have kid friendly version, that would help.
My results are similar 61%then 34%. I had the African hunter gatherer too! A little Native American. I had some Spain and Italy but it switched. I am very light skinned curly/wavy hair brown eyes! My mom and the side I was raised with are all different shades of beautiful chocolate with different textures of wavy,curly,thick hair. I was told my father was Hispanic, now I'm thinking he may have been white. I will never know. I just go as African American that's how my paperwork is also where I live it's very caucasian and they definitely let it be known how they feel about African Americans, especially if they think you are anything other then what they are. I stay to myself because it's hard to hold back feelings of anger when your not accepted by a fellow human. Nice video.
So you are ashamed of your Hispanic and white genes. Good for you. Good for you for identifying as only black African American and condemning evil whitey. Since blacks are so precious and innocent and everyone is just so wayciss toward them. Now being that this is a Bi-racial video, you need to respect people's spaces if they choose to be proud of there white or Hispanic side as much as the other aspects of there dna.
As interesting as this is, I don’t want anyone using my DNA info for profit...profit I’ll never see. I also don’t understand the fascination with DNA level distinctions of “race” when race is a social construct.
Yes, "race" is a social construct. Yet, there is still biological differences between ethnic groups depending on where you grew up and the environment you grew up in. We can't deny this. There are reasons for why certain diseases and ailments affect certain ethnic groups over others. For example, black people by far are more likely to have sickle cell anemia. They still don't know exactly why this is. Black people are affected by regular anemia at rates much higher than other ethnic groups as well. You can do this with Asian ethnic groups and white ethnic groups...we are different because of the climate our ancestors came from. There were biological adaptions that came about over hundreds of years as the different groups traveled the globe.
Greetings. To my knowledge, no DNA company has ever spoken of race or posited they can provide you a “DNA level distinction of race” as race has nothing to do with DNA. Race is neither a biological, scientific or genetic term. It is a socio political term. However, it seems that the “average” layperson continues to inject “race” when all these companies do is provide estimates of your ancestral makeup. Nothing more and nothing less. Even genetic genealogists have argued that these companies do a disservice when they claim they can provide estimates of one’s ethnicities as no DNA test can tell you how your ancestors identified themselves. As I mentioned before, all these tests do is provide estimates of one’s ancestral makeup. That is the accurate terminology. Furthermore, based on my observation, the people who tend to be most “race” obsessed are Americans. But that is not surprising as the country was built on the worldview of “race” a socio political term. Also, there is nothing wrong with people wanting to know their ancestral makeup, you know where their ancestors likely came from if they have no clue and many people do genetic testing to connect with family.
@@lisacox3750 Greetings. Your comment is partially accurate and partially inaccurate. And so called black people are not the only people in the world who may get sickle cell anemia. Sickle cell anemia is prevalent in areas of the world where there is malaria. Therefore the incident rate of sickle cell anemia are prevalent in parts of India, Sicily and the Middle East. Conversely there are many regions in Africa where the incident rate of sickle cell anemia is lower. Also, it has been demonstrated that the continent of Africa contains the most genetic diversity than all other continents combined and European people are genetically closest to Africans whereas some population groups who phenotypically resemble Africans (e.g., the people from the Andaman Islands and some South Pacific islanders) are genetically farthest.
So genetically I'm biracial, but my mom is "biracial" and my dad is louisiana creole guessing both his parents were black idk anyway my percentages were something like 53% African (Nigerian mainly) 43 European (mainly English and Scottish) and then like 2.3% Asian or something like that and that was primarily Filipino w/ 0.5% native american but Ive been told all my life I was part native american cause every black person is lol I was shocked to find out I am more Asian than native american even though it's such a small amount I wouldn't have thought that. I also didn't know I was going to have so much European in my blood. Anyway, my friend told me I can't be biracial because then what would people that were called biracial be? But technically even though you are biracial you're more European than African and I'm closer to biracial even though I'm not biracial dude my fing head hurts. I am still tongue tied when people ask me what am I. This test hasn't exactly made it any easier :/.
Wow, thanks. Black women for so long washes twice a month. No wonder I was so damn bald as a kid. Lol. Now, at 54, it’s grows like crazy cuz I’m giving it water-based sprays all the time. 💗
I've wanted to try one of these dna tests but wasn't sure which one would be best. I know that I'm african american, jamaican, and blackfoot native but that's about it lol. And the tests provide such broad answers. Like I'd love to know what tribe in africa I may be descendant of.
ThatsMyNamja From my experience (and folks in my family), AncestryDNA is definitely the “best” when it comes to race/lineage/origins because they have by far the largest database; your results w AncestryDNA will absolutely be more specific than what Joy-El has here. However, sadly, you will not be able to know which tribes in Africa you’re descendant from. But I agree w you: It would definitely be really cool to know more specifics about our African ancestry.
Antoinette Chevalier Greetings. Just to point out that “race” has nothing to do with DNA as race isn’t even a genetic, scientific or biological term. It is a socio political term. Western European enslavers invented human races to rationalize their crimes against humanity. All human beings have the same alleles (AGCT) and due to environmental pressures give rise to different frequency of genes which in turn give rise to the various population groups we see worldwide. All these commercial companies do is test a fraction of your genome to the reference panel groups. Nothing more and nothing less. By the way, the continent of Africa contains the most genetic diversity than all other continents combined.
001islandprincess I agree - I should have put “race” in scare quotes (as I usually do, actually). And also, I do think these DNA kits are mostly for fun & entertainment as they are truly working w a very limited database. I believe that if u want to know your ancestry in terms of lineage, then creating a family tree is the best way to do that - if possible. AncestryDNA is kind of cool in that regard, as it actually helps you to create a verifiable tree because they’ve digitized lots of stuff u can tap into = census information, birth/death certificates, military records, land transfers, marriage licenses, ship manifests, etc. And yes, “race” is definitely a social construct as evidenced in these records because u can see from plantation records of enslaved people that the column where “race” is supposed to be noted is obviously based upon the what the record-keeper observed as a phenotype.
It's very possible you're mother is also mixed with European even though she's dark skin. It is unlikely that she isn't because of your green eyes. She must have the gene for light eyes or else it's almost impossible for you to have green eyes.
I really want to do a DNA test for the major part i know that im Nigerian both of my parents are and maybe English because of my grandma but i really don’t know
Hunter gatherers and aborigines are two different groups. Hunter gatherers from my knowledge refers to the khoi San or San people found in Namibia, South Africa and some in Botswana.
Elisheba, these are my people San ( Khoi) that are classified by caucasians as hunter and gatherers, chile we are still being disrespected as if it was 1940. this is some fauna and flora type of shit. Proud grandson of a San grand dad.
My family is African American. I was curious about my DNA and took a test from. Ancestry. Com it told me basically what I assumed. 72/75 % West African I think the largest was Nigeria. My European side was English Irish and Scandinavian being a small percentage. Because of slavery I can't trace my family back past the late 1800s. Honestly if you're a decendant from American slavery all of our DNA test should be similar. It's sort of pointless imo the white European side comes from the slave master.y last name is Irish so it told me every thing I expected
Tipp W Greetings. You are correct that AA as well as other Africans throughout the diaspora will find it difficult tracing their ancestry past a certain point; however, you cannot assume that all your European ancestry is via slavery. Some or most may likely be due to slavery. A few years back an African American woman was surprised to find a marriage certificate of two of her ancestors and she was surprised the husband was of European descent. She just *assumed* all her European ancestry was via slavery. In any event, all Africans throughout the diaspora are walking around with false surnames whether it was derived via slavery or former enslaved picked their surnames (as in the case for Jamaicans). Enslaved Africans in Jamaica were never given the slave masters name.
@@001islandprincess There were Irish "indentured servants" in the US that were freed after so many years of service but in the Caribbean there was "white slavery" of the Irish due to the persecution of the Irish by the English so that is another way that if your family comes from the Caribbean you could be part Irish.

I am so sorry you were more interested in finding out where you came from then being concerned about where and by who this testing is done. It has already been proven it is not accurate but probable. You have just put out a call for the Bill and Melinda Gates Alphabet Corporation. So Thank you for being the next Fool. They want more DNA samples and we get to talk about this bullshitery 😝Again

@@glajubutu Nothing Nigerian about her, she is European or mostly White in her phenotype. Only her kinky hair is Sub Saharan African!
Interesting topic I’m mix on both sides My father ancestors are melanated american natives and irish and my mother ancestors taino african and spainard
So interesting that the whole 39% went straight to your hair. Love it. X
Its probably because one of her great great grandparents were black or colored
Johnny Dept no her mom is black
@@johnnydept4082 she isn't white lol, she's mixed.
@@stephpowell7648 yeah I assume she has a colored ancestor somewhere down the line
But not everyone who is black or colored as one person mentioned, has textured hair and not everyone who is white or Caucasian has straight hair.
Im 85% South African, 12% euro, 3% East Asian. In short, I’m black and proud ✊🏾🥰🖤

@@LivingInTheShade no,no we aren't
Technically, aren't we all.
Casablanca Durant not really but ok
@@soraya.e5482 you've had your DNA tested. That's amazing if you're American.
Your mixer of being mixed race is so unique compared to most. I say that to say this, your facial features and skin color is white passing for sure, except for your beautiful hair. Plus, it's rare to see mixed race people who are white passing with beautiful type 4 curls. Usually we see loose curls, which is not a bad thing, but your look is so rare and different. I love love your appearance😇🤗😇🤗😇
Her complexion isn't white passing.
Alex Howard honestly I would disagree. I think she could pass, and would to my eye. For me this is just a reminder that race truly is a human construct, we’ve all moved around and mixed so much over millennia, that it’s really interesting to learn about that, but the whole labeling part comes from racism, to divide us.
@@alexhoward1884 I agree with you.
@@alexhoward1884 please slap a straight weave and she pass for a tan white woman, she's white passing
Alex Howard Greetings. If her hair was covered, people could mistake her for people from Cyprus and Albania, for example. I am darker than her and Africans and European people think I am Tamil or Middle Eastern, for example.
The Swedish component you were looking for is the 0.5% Scandinavia. The 3 Scandinavian countries are Sweden, Norway, and Denmark.
And finland
Aissatou Kandji Finland is not in Scandinavia
I’m half Armenian from my father and Mexican from my mother. According to 23&Me I’m

•Western Asian
•Broadly West Asian and North African
31.1% Native American
•México
•Broadly Native American
15% European
•Iberian
• Ashkenazi Jewish
12% Sub Saharan African
•West Africa
~1% Unassigned
Blackskinis Amazing it seems she’s ambiguous
Blackskinis Amazing she doesn’t look white in the pfp she looks Middle Eastern but I guess she could put mixed because that’s an option too and she said she was mixed
@Blackskinis Amazing No one with a full head of natural 4c hair looks like a "typical white woman." Her bone structure and her face actually look just like what she is....a mixed woman with African AND European ancestry. It's kind of obvious you're not familiar with her channel she identifies with what she is, which means all aspects of herself including the African diasporic parts. it would make no sense for her to be disavowing her mother. It seems like your trying to make a point that isnt true here. Fortunately not all people who could try and pass as "more white" want to.
@@yagurl4330 he's not talking joy-el dear.
@@yagurl4330 read the op's comment. That is what everyone is replying to.
I want to do one of these! There is one, African Ancestry that focuses on specifically the African side and claims to able to get down to the actual tribe or really really close. Very cool and informative results.
That would be amazing! I'll look it up!
Jermaine Au Natural:. No company's test can take you down to a specific tribe. We have been mixed with so many tribal groups that you can't make that distinction. Do your research before committing to a company.
beaujac311 Thats what they claim. Look them up, it’s apart of their advertising
@@JermaineAuNatural I've seen them and they do claim that but it is not the truth. I was always a skeptic of that claim and a segment on 60 Minutes proved me right to be a skeptic. I have taken an Ancestry DNA test and I'm alright with the results so far. Here is a link to the 60 Minutes video. th-cam.com/video/eKDe536JyVM/w-d-xo.html
beaujac311 I think you can do more research once you get your results from dna testing sites like for example, I found that many Caribbean background people had Bantu mixture tribes along with Nilotic tribes. But it’s going to be a list of tribes not just one.
The Chinese Asian could be Malagasy. Some enslaved Africans were also taken from as far east Madagascar. You should have your mom take a test. She could be a quarter Euro since you have a high percentage of Euro DNA. What is your Maternal Haplogroup ? If its African, It could give you ball park of where in West Africa they are from. Im L1c1c and it goes back to the Fulani in Guinea Bissau. So it could definitely help.
Thanks for sharing! I found your channel because we are a similar mix both with lighter skin and type 4 hair - my mother is black/African American and my father is white/Caucasian -- and I've been following your hair care routine too! My results were basically 54/46, so somewhat similar.
What you are mixed with? Gorgeous and Stunning.
You could just watch the video
Hey Joy-el. You should also get your parents to do the test as well. That would give you a better idea on the breakdown of the percentages of your ethnicities.
Lean C I was wishing the test would say what side each percentage came from! I thought with dna they were able to trace the mothers side especially.
Emily Van Heukelom Greetings. No test can ever do that. People have to combine traditional genealogical research with genetic testing. For instance, my mother and I tested but I have Iberian DNA and not my mother. I match two close Portuguese and Puerto Rican families. I surmise the connection is via my unknown paternal great grandmother. In Joy-el’ case, at least one of her parents have to take the test and then she has to study her cousin matches to see which are via her mother or father and learn about their ancestry and build her genealogical tree. As well she has to use chromosome painting to see how she matches cousins on particular chromosomes. Also, the test you are referring to is one line, the unbroken maternal line called mtDNA. Besides, the matrilineal line only accounts for 2% of a person’s total genome.
I’m so happy with your positivity and you don’t take it personally or seem annoyed when people ask you those questions. I’d be so irritated of people asking me what I’m mixed with. Nice video!
Dae W Greetings. Africans can easily spot out who is from the continent and who is part of the African diaspora, especially those who are mixed looking or simply look like they are from a different part of the world. Even Europeans and other people throughout the world will naturally inquire about someone’s background. I think the unease of anyone feeling irritated are those who are not aware of their mixed ancestry and they have no clue and they were brought up using socio political labels like “black”.
Awesome ! I’m 69% African, 25% Asian 5% European 1% Native American. Also my dad is Igbo Nigerian. :)
Your #'s added up to 106% you should redue the test or try adding up your #'s again.Try using a calculator that might help...
Johnny Dept my numbers add up to 100 lol. Maybe you should get a calculator.
Mulato hombre explain please??
Mulato hombre Just explain what you’re talking about.
@Mulato hombre yep I just double checked with calculator 106%...
Love love love your hair girl! Love seeing light complexions like me with hair like mine!! 😍😍😍
I love these “ancestry” type videos! Hope you’ll do one with AncestryDNA (vs 23 & Me): AncestryDNA has by far the largest database, so it would be interesting to see to comparison/difference regarding your results.
23andme ist more accurate for most people tho
@@l0uisanthony991 that is what I thought too when I did both based on what I've learned about my family.
I've done tests from multiple companies and 23andme is the most accurate
Candi Dreamy Oh really. I have heard they are probably better than AncestryDNA.
I did the ancestry.com test which shows that I'm 84% African. But I'm not surprised at your results because you have European features with African hair.
Crazy she looks like some of my family and they are just AA with mixture down the line I can always tell when someone is mixed no matter how white looking
I agree with you
I've done several of these tests and they are pretty good at a continental level, but you can get different results from a country specific level on each test. Over time they also change those countries of origin based on their updates to the tests. My highest percentage countries have change 4 times over the years. So, just know that they likely have the continents right, and general regions (i.e. West African), but country identification is still an evolving science.
I’m 71% west, central South Africa and 29% northwestern European. Just got updated. But I used ancestry DNA
Nice! :)
My ancestry places me at 70% African (mainly Ghanaian) and 28% British Scottish Irish and 2% Spanish! Literally crazy how DNA works! I wear a 300 in fenty and have a shit ton of freckles and copper coloured hair. I’m adopted and really didn’t know if I was mixed cause I look mixed but had no idea if I was really just redboned! My siblings all half siblings look like a rainbow lol
Cameroonians 🇨🇲 (Africa) have freckles and reddish brown hair. The blacks race is very diverse.

Beautiful results sweetheart! I enjoyed your video.
We literally have very similar percentages European, Sub-Saharan African, Chinese and east Asian along with native American. By my European is mainly Eastern European Polish then scattered European. Many Nigerians and Ghanaian as well.
Im looking forward to finding out your african ancestry. "Black" and all of these other generic labels for ethnicity are not very helpful
There are more titles then black we aren't even black
I understand what your saying. It’s wrong that science has done little research towards African roots.
For anyone please dont say black when your skin color is not black/dark skin what so ever. I mean you could honestly say your African American or mixed but don’t go around saying delusional out of this world shit when your not black or do not have dark skin what so ever. Color is the reason why racism is happening and most lightskins don’t know what it’s like to have darkskin in this world. All I’m saying is stop calling y’all self black y’all only get the choice to say African American or mixed. Since when did light skins turn black ? Lightskins were never black that’s the reason. Y’all wanna call yak self black to make y’all look harder and official y’all ain’t no dark Africans or African Anericans walking on this world y’all some lightskins/whiteskins who are upset cus they have white/European blood in them. How bout y’all start connecting to y’all White side. It’ll honestly make y’all feel better because the only reasons why lightskins calling there self black is because they know they are not and want to be seen as black/dark.
You are a perfect mix in your features! I love all your features. I have a niece who is half German and half African (my family). I am 100% African (can see my DNA results) but more light skin than my niece. In Africa we can come out in infinite ways. We represent the whole world (maybe exception is Scandinavian looks), but we have mongoloid features and many features considered European.
Are you koisan?
I am mixed with white asain and Native American. It’s hard sometimes to be mixed . Identity is tough but don’t let anyone discourage you .
Very interesting!
I'm also into this stuff these days - just ordered my 23andMe pack.
Please do a proper ancestrial family tree graph using the info from your family members and also from here to map out everything.
That would be super-duper cool to see who came from where when.
The only reason I'm saying this is because you have a very interesting family background, very mixed at different times and also as you mentioned some of your family members know about your grand grand parents.
So, maybe give it a go please?)))
Note: Mixed race and Admixture is not the same! Admix is usually less than 25%.
Says who? In that case I am not a person because only two of my ethnicities are over 25% the rest are small amounts of this a that race is flawed 🤦🏾♀️
Admixture gives me a headache. Dx
@@shay529 shut up
I love doing these tests. I did mine, as a primarily Jewish person :D, on Ancestry but they aren't as detailed as other tests I've seen. I will defi itely consider 23andMe in the future!
Also the sneak peek is already interesting! 😄
look at our hair.... im more african than you! but it comes out in melanin! (snapchat and filter made me look waay lighter) and for you, it comes out in your hair! genetics are incredible lol
I did this test and I was 68% African 31% European and 1% South Asian

60/40 with 4c hair. makes her that much more interesting lol
3C
PAISLEY PRINCESS A twist out done on her 4C hair.*
Milessa She doesn’t have that kind of hair. Hers may be 4A or B, but she doesn’t have the coiliness of 4C hair. it’s lose and not tight
PAISLEY PRINCESS After looking at more recent vids from her, she looks to be mostly 4B with a mix of random areas of 4A and 4C throughout. That’s the same texture mix I have. It’s not 4A primarily and definitely not 3C...not even close on that. She doesn’t have a defined curl pattern at all with dry hair.
This was so much fun - thanks for posting! I love that you have more African ancestry than me, and I’m not biracial LOL. I’m from New Orleans so like most black/Creole folks here, my ancestry (according to AncestryDNA) is French, UK (England), and Africa (Senegal etc). There were no surprises for me on that front (French, English, and African ... yep, knew that my whole life); but I loved that I found out that I have more than 2% Scandinavian (huh?!) plus a bit of Middle Eastern/Mediterranean thrown in.
I'm creole as well but mostly black ancestry and only 16 percent European.
Creole culture and history has always interested me
From New Orleans too girrrl! But imma Quarteroon, my Mother is Biracial and my Father is black. I’m a Quarter German, my mother’s dad was Creole mixed. Gotta love being from New Orleans right lol 😂💕
@@tiffmonique7154 Greetings. I just want to pint out that all these commercial companies do is test less than 5% of your total genome.
Check out them curls as months go on more defined curls showing up😍. I wanna do one of these test one day this was definitely a fun video
How in the hell does a video like this get dislikes? Seriously?
Anyway, me personally, I've never been curious to know. Like Phoenixspin below said, I am black mixed with black.
Yeah I did 23and me and I was 65% Sub-Saharan African (Nigerian, Congolese, Ethiopian, Sudanese, Gambian, Ghanian, ect.) 15% East Asian/Native American (Native blood from United States and the Dominican Republic, Myanmar, Filipino/Austrian, Chinese), 5% Northern Asian (Thiland, Korea, Vitenam, and Chinese), and then 15% European (Iberian Peninsula, Britain, Italy, Greece, Scandinavian, Ireland, Norwegian, ect.)
I am so proud of all that African ancestry though! But with all that Asian and European blood I really had to ask my mom and dad some serious questions about where they have been
I see you have East African dna in you that’s so rare so interesting
I was told that pretty amazing! I loved seeing that
Jessica Smith Greetings. I will surmise that Ethiopian DNA is likely statistical noise. If you have no known recent ancestors from Ethiopia, it is likely an error as no Ethiopians were enslaved and brought to the Americas during the So called Trans Atlantic Slave Trade. All genetic genealogists have warned people not to take their estimates seriously as this part of testing is the least reliable; on the other hand cousin matches are accurate and people should be studying their matches to confirm their ancestral makeup.
001islandprincess all I know/ what we’re taught as an East African, most of our slaves were taken to Middle East . You can find a few of them too in Brazil due to the Portuguese who came to spread Christianity in Kenya but took some slaves with them. Then also 99% of the ancestry dna videos I’ve seen none of them have East African dna . Ok so you’re saying then it’s a statistical error that most people don’t have Ethiopian ancestry in them ?
Thank you for this awesome video! My results were very similar! I’m 63.1% European and 35.7% Sub-Saharan African!!
Same I was 56.0 European and 32% Sub- Saharan African
Our results are almost identical, except opposite!
60% black and 38% white?
I'm 38% African 20% Spanish 26.7% Native American and 0.2% Jewish and a little bit of asian! I did 23 and me and ancestry dna!
I love that you promote black owned businesses 🥰
It's TRUE that most mixed people support black owned businesses and blacks support Chinese own businesses

From a DNA standpoint, biracial exists on a spectrum: typically somewhere between 61% (African or European) to 39% (African or European), and all the combinations in between, like 57/43, 49/51, etc. Most biracial people, especially in the Americas, are rarely genetically 50/50. Just like most people who identify solely as black here in the Americas are rarely 100% sub-Saharan African. They're typically somewhere between 89%-64% (African) to 11%-36% (European). So, in fact, most of us are "mixed" but all of us are not "biracial." The African diaspora is quite beautiful in all its diversity.✊🏽
But what we are only 25 percent African!
Wow, I'm completely opposite of you... 60% African... 39% European...
1% Native American.
Basically a couple made in heaven...
I had the weirdest dream last night that I did a DNA test and the results were so weird 😂 and this gets recommended to me today
I swear your chart looks almost like mines. I thought I was a indigenous Aboriginal Native to the America’s. I didn’t know I was African 💭
How in the heck could you confuse those two??? They look nothing alike! What do you see when you look in the mirror Africa or native American? I live in new Mexico and let me tell you Indains are not black actually most of them are very raciest towards blacks
C’mon now stop it 😂😂😂
I didn't count my 1-2 percentages.. because they change all the time.. My African hunters, just about all people of African decent has that.. mine came back 67% west African. This was great to watch to see what bi-racial DNA results.
I'm part Choctaw also! That's so interesting because I don't that often
As I recall this lady was only 0.3% Native American so that could mean that her ancestry may be So. American. And it's very difficult from that small percentage to pinpoint the tribe, because there are 530+ tribes just in No. America. AND, if ancestry couldn't pinpoint an African tribe, they're not going to be able to say you're a Choctaw either. That percentage is Very Small.
Very cool. We have a similar percentage of African DNA. I got 39% sub Saharan Africa on Ancestry and 39.5% in 23andme. The remaining 60-1% is European. I have 0.5% unassuaged on 23andme.
When I saw you I said nigeria and germany straight away, I ve been watching too many dna videos I m getting really good at it lol
I did my 23&Me back in July. 68.6% Sub-Saharan African, 28.6% European, 2.1% East Asian & Native American, 0.7% Unassigned.
Here we are in the 21c and there are people living today that can remember their loved ones having a slave name. Am I the only one saddened by that?
I did ancestry.com....my mom is Italian and dad is African American...my ancestry came back 50% southern Italian, 20% scottish , 30% west african. I thought it would be more 50/50
That's because most African Americans who've been here for several generations, especially if you can trace back to slavery has some mixture of white and black. So apparently the man (most likely) who was your great or great great grandfather may have been either italian or scottish (and probably other European mixtures.) Very few African Americans are 50/50 these days if their parentage is mixed, because the black parent is probably already mixed.
Veronica Dabney Exactly. People seem to think that Black Americans are 100% Black genetically. Nope. That’s why you see the range of facial features, hair textures, skin tones and body types with us that differ from our West African ancestors.

Yeah you too huh , I hope they're being truthful with us about this DNA stuff. Too many similarities. But I guess we're all mixed in one race
Sable 711 Well, I’m not trying to imply that I’m suspicious. From what I know for sure on my White side, the accuracy was dead on. Family is from a very German dense Midwest town, 2 Grandparents are from Germany and low and behold I’m super German( which is common). But i mostly did this for my moms side and I only know they’ve been here since slavery. Low and behold, I’m heavy on the West African which is where most slaves derived from with a sprinkle of everything else. Kind of a no brainer there on why it’s like that. Don’t know why they’d “lie”.
@@lourdesblueblood1 Do you also have the Baden Wurtemberg connection like Joyel? You can see it listed on the German part (She is Swiss too.) I am curious because a lot of those from Kansas were Volga Germans living in Russia and very Catholic. Baden Wurtemberg is a Catholic province in Germany. It is my mother's side that is German and I knew they came from that province, even visited and met some of them and 23 and Me got that correct.
@@lourdesblueblood1 yes I've got that German part in me too! I was quite shocked! Unless I misunderstood, I did not like the findings of the health part of the 23andMe because it appeared as though the results were based on findings for Caucasian relatives primarily with no focus on others of color and I didn't find that very helpful. Perhaps I was interpreting it wrong but I intend to complain about that. If I am 50/50 oh, why did they choose the half that was Caucasian 2 come up with those statistics?
Sable 711 It wouldn’t be wise to complain about something you may not understand. I would read every piece top to bottom. It likely means that you inherited gene variants/ mutations from your white side and not your Black side. On my health side, I have a mix but I mostly inherited gene mutations or defects from my Black side.. and I’m 43% Black 53% White, so not even 50/50. So maybe you’re White gene pool is just stronger. 🤷🏽♀️
I am 22% North African (I think Morocco), 15% Senegalese, 11% Malian, 1% Nigerian on my dads side (he is black Moroccan) and 23% Irish, 23% Scottish, 2% French and 3% North Western European and English on my mums side. My original results were 47% Irish and Scottish, 23% North African, 12% Senegalese, 11% Malian, 3% Nigerian, 1% North Western Europe, 1% Portuguese and 1% Swedish and that’s before the update to AncestryDNA yesterday and each percentage says it ranges from one number to another so for example the North African percentage ranges from 21% to 28%, the Senegalese percentage ranges from 15% to 37%, the Malian percentage ranges from 11% to 21% and the Scottish which was counted as Scottish and Irish before the update which makes more sense because my mothers parents were of Irish descent and her fathers family were from Waterford in Southern Ireland ranges from 4% to 25% and the Irish ranges from 0% to 24%

Interesting. I remember your mother saying her grandmother was part Native American. I’m surprised you didn’t inherit at least 10%
I'm 98.9 % North East African/1.1 % East Asian. There was truly no need to do a 23&me since I know I'm 100% East African 🤣😂🤣
East Africa dna is normally like that, broadly East African but also a percentage of middle eastern dna
N A they is no middle eastern in East Africans as they are the oldest also there is no enough sample for East Africans so the dna is not accurate for them and this person said North East African :)
Most east African have some middle eastern DNA.you should check to be sure
Nana H there is check most East Africans ancestry dna tests on TH-cam have some middle eastern dna . Mostly people of Horn of Africa but also I’ve seen Kenyans and south Sudanese with middle eastern ancestry search you’ll see. That’s due to the East Africans slave trade with the Middle East . People from the Zanzibar (tanzania)and Swahili coast of Kenya literally call themselves waarabu meaning arabs
N A dna is not accurate for East African also East African are not mixed please get your facts right East African are the oldest beings everything started in East Africa:)

So in other words ur parents are mixed lol
@1salvaje She is not literally white. Her results are typical of someone who has a white parent and a black parent. Most black people are of admixture themselves which is why her European mix is over 50%. It isn't because of her Dad it is because of her Mom. A lot of black people can do this too and will come out with at least 15-20% European even with 2 black parents. I know plenty of black people in my family and friends who have taken the test. Based on phenotype you would never think there was any admixture in their blood. Yet, all of my family and friends came out with at least 15% of European DNA. And we all have 2 black parents.
1salvaje that user is a moron
A lot if not most “African Americans” have at least one biracial parent, grand parent or great grand parent. She is multicultural, biracial, mixed call it what you want she not just white.
Khya A oh gosh with the one drop ruling
I was so against dna testing for a bit, self identity matters the most. Making assumptions towards someones appearance is a bit rude. But if I was to make a guess (like others in the comment section) I would have guessed European and Egyptian with minor mixes. Which are pale and brown identities. It is very interesting to see how people identify, I have a little bit of a darker pigmant than her and I identify as brown + mixed. Background of traits is important, but nothing can shape you like where you live/born, who raised you, and your cultural interests rather than what comes up on a dna kit. Self identity means the most out of anything. Though 60 percent may be european one might feel 80 percent european. If anyone is doing a dna kit also, remember that :)
23and me is very detail oriented
Nice results
Beautiful mix
You looked a little disappointed or maybe surprised.....when you saw the large percentage of European ..heritage and ethnicity isn’t always summed up by genetics 🧬..you are a gorgeous biracial woman.. with awesome 4c hair...
I'm sure she knew she was mostly European. Look at her I know she not blind
I want to do this for my kids. My husband and I [African and Mexican American] have two healthy babies.
They are polar opposite; one has beautiful curly hair, brown eyes brown hair and brown skin the other has blue eyes, blondish hair and light skin. He gets a lot of head turns because both my husband and I have black hair, brown eyes and brown skin 👀.
So we get a lot of questions.
I wonder if they have kits for kids.
Its the same kit can be used on kids.
@@kaaraelise4557 thank you. I am concern because the spit container is an adult size. Trying to get a toddler or little kid to spit that much is not very easy for us. It would take a LONG time. So that's why I am curious if they have kid friendly version, that would help.
My results are similar 61%then 34%. I had the African hunter gatherer too! A little Native American. I had some Spain and Italy but it switched. I am very light skinned curly/wavy hair brown eyes! My mom and the side I was raised with are all different shades of beautiful chocolate with different textures of wavy,curly,thick hair. I was told my father was Hispanic, now I'm thinking he may have been white. I will never know. I just go as African American that's how my paperwork is also where I live it's very caucasian and they definitely let it be known how they feel about African Americans, especially if they think you are anything other then what they are. I stay to myself because it's hard to hold back feelings of anger when your not accepted by a fellow human. Nice video.
So you are ashamed of your Hispanic and white genes. Good for you. Good for you for identifying as only black African American and condemning evil whitey. Since blacks are so precious and innocent and everyone is just so wayciss toward them. Now being that this is a Bi-racial video, you need to respect people's spaces if they choose to be proud of there white or Hispanic side as much as the other aspects of there dna.
Gha-nay-yan ;)
Thank you!!
Keziah It’s actually gä′nē-ən) my father was born and raised there I overly needed to get it right as a child.
@@queenshay hey my father is too. I'm also from London so it could just be an accent thing
Keziah Yeah probably
That's not funny she is mostly European.why would she know how to say African countries ?
When they say Hunter/ Gatherer, they mean the Bushmen of the Khalahari desert.
As interesting as this is, I don’t want anyone using my DNA info for profit...profit I’ll never see. I also don’t understand the fascination with DNA level distinctions of “race” when race is a social construct.
Yes, "race" is a social construct. Yet, there is still biological differences between ethnic groups depending on where you grew up and the environment you grew up in. We can't deny this. There are reasons for why certain diseases and ailments affect certain ethnic groups over others. For example, black people by far are more likely to have sickle cell anemia. They still don't know exactly why this is. Black people are affected by regular anemia at rates much higher than other ethnic groups as well. You can do this with Asian ethnic groups and white ethnic groups...we are different because of the climate our ancestors came from. There were biological adaptions that came about over hundreds of years as the different groups traveled the globe.
Shut up
Greetings. To my knowledge, no DNA company has ever spoken of race or posited they can provide you a “DNA level distinction of race” as race has nothing to do with DNA. Race is neither a biological, scientific or genetic term. It is a socio political term. However, it seems that the “average” layperson continues to inject “race” when all these companies do is provide estimates of your ancestral makeup. Nothing more and nothing less. Even genetic genealogists have argued that these companies do a disservice when they claim they can provide estimates of one’s ethnicities as no DNA test can tell you how your ancestors identified themselves. As I mentioned before, all these tests do is provide estimates of one’s ancestral makeup. That is the accurate terminology. Furthermore, based on my observation, the people who tend to be most “race” obsessed are Americans. But that is not surprising as the country was built on the worldview of “race” a socio political term. Also, there is nothing wrong with people wanting to know their ancestral makeup, you know where their ancestors likely came from if they have no clue and many people do genetic testing to connect with family.
@@lisacox3750 Greetings. Your comment is partially accurate and partially inaccurate. And so called black people are not the only people in the world who may get sickle cell anemia. Sickle cell anemia is prevalent in areas of the world where there is malaria. Therefore the incident rate of sickle cell anemia are prevalent in parts of India, Sicily and the Middle East. Conversely there are many regions in Africa where the incident rate of sickle cell anemia is lower. Also, it has been demonstrated that the continent of Africa contains the most genetic diversity than all other continents combined and European people are genetically closest to Africans whereas some population groups who phenotypically resemble Africans (e.g., the people from the Andaman Islands and some South Pacific islanders) are genetically farthest.
So genetically I'm biracial, but my mom is "biracial" and my dad is louisiana creole guessing both his parents were black idk anyway my percentages were something like 53% African (Nigerian mainly) 43 European (mainly English and Scottish) and then like 2.3% Asian or something like that and that was primarily Filipino w/ 0.5% native american but Ive been told all my life I was part native american cause every black person is lol I was shocked to find out I am more Asian than native american even though it's such a small amount I wouldn't have thought that. I also didn't know I was going to have so much European in my blood. Anyway, my friend told me I can't be biracial because then what would people that were called biracial be? But technically even though you are biracial you're more European than African and I'm closer to biracial even though I'm not biracial dude my fing head hurts. I am still tongue tied when people ask me what am I. This test hasn't exactly made it any easier :/.
You’re biracial
Thanks for sharing your results. Question: Do you wash your hair everyday or once per week? Be well.
About once a week to a week and a half :)
Wow, thanks. Black women for so long washes twice a month. No wonder I was so damn bald as a kid. Lol. Now, at 54, it’s grows like crazy cuz I’m giving it water-based sprays all the time. 💗
I've wanted to try one of these dna tests but wasn't sure which one would be best. I know that I'm african american, jamaican, and blackfoot native but that's about it lol. And the tests provide such broad answers. Like I'd love to know what tribe in africa I may be descendant of.
ThatsMyNamja From my experience (and folks in my family), AncestryDNA is definitely the “best” when it comes to race/lineage/origins because they have by far the largest database; your results w AncestryDNA will absolutely be more specific than what Joy-El has here. However, sadly, you will not be able to know which tribes in Africa you’re descendant from. But I agree w you: It would definitely be really cool to know more specifics about our African ancestry.
girl, its ethnicity not tribe
Antoinette Chevalier Greetings. Just to point out that “race” has nothing to do with DNA as race isn’t even a genetic, scientific or biological term. It is a socio political term. Western European enslavers invented human races to rationalize their crimes against humanity. All human beings have the same alleles (AGCT) and due to environmental pressures give rise to different frequency of genes which in turn give rise to the various population groups we see worldwide. All these commercial companies do is test a fraction of your genome to the reference panel groups. Nothing more and nothing less. By the way, the continent of Africa contains the most genetic diversity than all other continents combined.
001islandprincess I agree - I should have put “race” in scare quotes (as I usually do, actually). And also, I do think these DNA kits are mostly for fun & entertainment as they are truly working w a very limited database. I believe that if u want to know your ancestry in terms of lineage, then creating a family tree is the best way to do that - if possible. AncestryDNA is kind of cool in that regard, as it actually helps you to create a verifiable tree because they’ve digitized lots of stuff u can tap into = census information, birth/death certificates, military records, land transfers, marriage licenses, ship manifests, etc. And yes, “race” is definitely a social construct as evidenced in these records because u can see from plantation records of enslaved people that the column where “race” is supposed to be noted is obviously based upon the what the record-keeper observed as a phenotype.
I've tested with 5 different dna companies and highly recommend 23andme as the best and most accurate
Welcome to the fam🇳🇬
You are beautiful. Great ancestry - how fun
Fun to watch
It's very possible you're mother is also mixed with European even though she's dark skin. It is unlikely that she isn't because of your green eyes. She must have the gene for light eyes or else it's almost impossible for you to have green eyes.
Quite a few Black Americans have at least 1 white ancestor.
bananafana some of us have tons of white ancestors 😳 we’re even related to presidents 😳 it’s crazy
My Dad has green eyes
Wow ur almost a little bit of everything
I really want to do a DNA test for the major part i know that im Nigerian both of my parents are and maybe English because of my grandma but i really don’t know
Hunter gatherer is the original aborigines people. You are so unique. As a we all are but, your lineage may be a missing link
Hunter gatherers and aborigines are two different groups. Hunter gatherers from my knowledge refers to the khoi San or San people found in Namibia, South Africa and some in Botswana.
No it’s not
Elisheba, these are my people San ( Khoi) that are classified by caucasians as hunter and gatherers, chile we are still being disrespected as if it was 1940. this is some fauna and flora type of shit. Proud grandson of a San grand dad.
DeMore means "belonging to More"
My family is African American. I was curious about my DNA and took a test from. Ancestry. Com it told me basically what I assumed. 72/75 % West African I think the largest was Nigeria. My European side was English Irish and Scandinavian being a small percentage. Because of slavery I can't trace my family back past the late 1800s. Honestly if you're a decendant from American slavery all of our DNA test should be similar. It's sort of pointless imo the white European side comes from the slave master.y last name is Irish so it told me every thing I expected
Tipp W Greetings. You are correct that AA as well as other Africans throughout the diaspora will find it difficult tracing their ancestry past a certain point; however, you cannot assume that all your European ancestry is via slavery. Some or most may likely be due to slavery. A few years back an African American woman was surprised to find a marriage certificate of two of her ancestors and she was surprised the husband was of European descent. She just *assumed* all her European ancestry was via slavery. In any event, all Africans throughout the diaspora are walking around with false surnames whether it was derived via slavery or former enslaved picked their surnames (as in the case for Jamaicans). Enslaved Africans in Jamaica were never given the slave masters name.
@@001islandprincess There were Irish "indentured servants" in the US that were freed after so many years of service but in the Caribbean there was "white slavery" of the Irish due to the persecution of the Irish by the English so that is another way that if your family comes from the Caribbean you could be part Irish.
Very interesting thanks for sharing:)
