So your name is SOFIA MEDINA and you wonder why you have Iberian ancestry?? LOL....
That's exactly what I was wondering... 😔
She doesn't Identify Iberia with Spain.
Exactly!!
@@radrook4481 That's probably because she studied in USA.
@@albertob.3112 There was this Anglo American guy on the George Lopez show who had his DNA results read. As the envelope was slowly opened he broke out in a sweat from the tension. Then as Lopez read the results and mentioned that he had Native American ancestry, the Anglo American guy blurted out as he fidgeted in his seat:
"So what am I supposed to be now? Some kind of Indian chief?
I watched a lot of DNA tests videos. But I’m always shocked how Americans predictably would always say , Iberian, Balkans what’s that? Wow, what do they teach in American geography? Please don’t be offended. Great video
No. That time is spent on gender studies and minority issues.
In the US they don’t have a geography class.
Rami they didn’t teach us a lot about Europe and other countries when I was in school (in America).. but they did offer geography in high school, but unfortunately you’re right we didn’t know a lot. I think it was dumb. I wish they did teach us more.
Rachel Yanda yeah geography is not a required class like in other countries it is. That’s y people have no idea of where countries are. Even people call Mexico south or Central America when is in North America and that’s our neighbor lol
Osvaldo Valencia i didn’t know about the Mexico part but dang that’s sad. Yea I think they should require Geography. I didn’t even know what the heck Iberian Peninsula was either. Everyone should know.. lol
Actually, iberia includes Spain AND Portugal, just to let you guys know :)
Yes, but only politically ... genetically there is only one ethnic group and therefore only one people, the Hispanic or Iberian people ...
There is no Portuguese ethnic group, the Portuguese Galician son crossing the Duero River, migrated to Muslim lands where many battles, were gaining ground and eventually created a kingdom of Portugal populated with descendants of Galicians, Asturians, Leonese, Castilians, etc. .
Therefore, from the point of view of genetic, historical, cultural and geographical views, the Portuguese are, and always, HISPANOS or, what is the same, Spanish ...
Quecomadrid Garcia Garcia, Iberian means Spanish or Portuguese, period. We are talking about nationalities here. The Portuguese are Iberians the same way Spaniards are Iberians. The word "Spanish" in English does not refer to the whole Iberian Peninsula, it only refers to your country.
Atualmente espanhol refere-se apenas à parte da península hispânica que ocupa o Reino de Espanha que ...
Mas historicamente hispânica ou ibérica se referiu a toda a península para toda a Hispânia ou Espanha histórica e Portugal fazia parte de toda a Espanha até a intervenção inglesa de 1640, que foi retirada à força da união que se formou juntamente com a sua irmãos (Galiza, Castela, Catalunha, Andaluzia, etc ...) Como Luis de Vaz Camôes disse em seus escritos sobre a Espanha ...
Quecomadrid Garcia Garcia O nome Espanha deriva de "Hispânia" (que significa Península Ibérica) mas não são sinónimos, nem em inglês nem em espanhol ou português. Espanha não inclui Portugal (obviamente) mas Hispânia sim. Dizer em inglês que "Iberia is Spain" é um insulto e desrespeito para Portugal e sua história e habitantes. Antes da intervenção britânica, Portugal já tinha sido independente por 5 séculos.
Eu acho que ele interpretou mal o que eu disse ...
Eu digo (e Camões eu disse a mesma coisa ... acabou de ler quando ele fala sobre a Espanha e seus reinos ou territórios: Castilla fala, fala da Andaluzia, Galiza, País Basco, Aragão ... e também fala de Portugal Camões que era "o melhor reino de Espanha, a melhor luta contra os mouros e glorificando o rei Sebastian, o melhor Rei de Espanha, para lutar até a morte contra os inimigos muçulmanos ......) ...
A palavra Espanha deriva da Hispânia e significa a mesma coisa e refere-se a TODA A PENÍNSULA desde sempre ... outra coisa é que atualmente, significa todo o território peninsular exceto Portugal ... mas historicamente e até o século XVIII sempre se referiu a toda a península hispânica ou ibérica, e sempre de Portugal e até o século XVIII e tem sido afirmado em sua historiografia antes de Camões, quando Camôes e depois e até o século XVIII ... Ainda no século XIX alguns escritores , alegou que Portugal fazia parte da Espanha e que o seu isolamento era artificial, antinatural e causado pela má influência da Inglaterra, que arrancara Portugal do seu destino como parte importante da Espanha para transformá-lo num protectorado inglês, com as costas para o resto. da Espanha de uma forma que não existe em outra parte do mundo ...
E o que escrevo não é contra Portugal, mas a favor do verdadeiro e hispânico de Portugal ... o Portugal que escreveu Camôes, considerado em sua época um dos grandes escritores, poetas e cronistas da Espanha .......
Você pode falar sobre a rivalidade entre Portugal e Castela (dois REIS HISPÂNICOS ...) Nos séculos XIII, XIV, XV ou XVI ...
Mas o atual estado espanhol sem Portugal foi formado no início do século XVIII.
Os atuais estados espanhóis e portugueses são recentes e datam do século XIX ... (a república portuguesa é de 1911 ..) ..
Tudo isso não tem nada a ver com a verdadeira declaração histórica que Portugal é uma terra HISPÀNICA e seu povo é a mesma que na Galiza, León, Extremadura e muito semelhante ao resto da península ...
Assim, em todos os teste genético sempre vem Ibérica (que é igual a Hispanico e não tem nada a ver com íbero ... para a Ibero eram as antigas tribos que estavam no Mediterrâneo ...) ..
Exatamente que ibérico porque, se colocar hispânico, haveria reivindicações e protestos de alguns portugueses que não conhecem a verdadeira história de Portugal ou são nacionalistas radicais que negam o espanholismo de Portugal ... Sua origem hispânica data de antes do criação do concelho portugalensis e quando a Galiza fazia fronteira com os mouros no rio Duero ...
E os antepassados dos actuais portugueses eram os galegos; que cruzou o rio Douro e formou um concelho com a parte sul da Galiza e foi nomeado depois de Portugal porque originalmente eles fizeram ao redor da cidade de coisa o porto..
Hispania é muito mais cedo do que o Império Romano foi no ano -19 antes de Cristo já havia unificado toda a Península e criou a Hispânia (não havia mais as tribos ibérica, lusitana, galega e todas as outras apenas as Vasconas foram corsadas ...)
A hispanidade nasceu como um conceito nacional ...
No ano de 711 (devido à invasão muçulmana) a Hispânia estava prestes a desaparecer, mas resistiu e se conservou no Norte (os condados da Galiza, Astúrias, Navarra, Aragão e Catalão ...) ...
A partir de então até a expulsão dos muçulmanos no século XIII (exceto o reino de Granada ...) ... SEMPRE reivindicou a restauração da HISPÂNIA e a reunificação em um único estado ...
Una é o castelhano Português e outra que é verdade .. e ninguém diz que Portugal tem que ser castelhano ...
Mas Castela, Portugal, Leão, Galiza, Aragão, Navarra, etc ... são reinos nascidos na Idade Média ...
Porque nós viemos da mesma origem hispânica ou ibérica, que é a mesma ...
Nada mais que isso ... O resto já é política moderna ou interpretações incorretas da História.
Ninguém ofende Portugal ou tira dele, o inverso é muito importante porque é um país hispânico ...
basically, she's mestizo and he's mediterranean.
And African, there is not such a thing as 100 Italians courtesy of the expansion of the Roman Empire
Technically both mediterranian no shock there
House of Savoy if your saying North Africa is in the Mediterranean area, yes but North Africans aren’t Mediterranean, they’re african, literally
Addi Teacha what do u mean by ‘African’? North African is different from Sub Saharan African
@@thyrien1088 north African are Mediterranean,
why don't americans understand that there is no mexican dna, or colombian dna, or venezuelan dna? I don't understand why this concept is so hard for them
she said that her father 100% mexican not 100% mayas. 100% mexican means nothing
i know that i'm not stupid, but she was surprised not to be 100% mexican and mexican dna do not exist
There's actually no Native American DNA either since they're all from Asia.
I'm American and I cringed hard on that part, it's because Latino Americans want to be so far from White you can't get that information to them, as soon as you tell them their half White from Spanish colonization they'll look at you as if your stupid when in reality we know there the stupid ones.
Tecnovlog
True! Actually, Latinos and Hispanics have nothing to do with the Americans, they are genetically southern Europeans which includes the Iberian peninsula (Spain & Portugal).
She doesn´t know what "iberian" means... ? 😂 My god, is true the stereotype about the american culture...
A lot of people don't bother to look up geographic locations before uploading their dna results n look ignorant n clueless(can't even pronounced the Countries names correct😒)we really need to learn a bit more on world Geography..
americans in general... (south americans aren´t very smart neither).
Yep just like Europeans wouldn't know what Americans call large areas of our country we don't pay much attention to Europe anymore but not everyone is ignorant of geography but go ahead believe what you like women the world over have this same problem . I've met quite a few brilliant Europeans who couldn't find their ass with both hands!
As 'true' as any stereotype tends to be, which means it's ignorant and wrong to assume a stereotype is correct, which means you're lucky I don't generalize and stereotype people ignorantly like you do or I might make some assumptions about you.
@Mario Franz Don't stereotype 330 million people. It makes you look stupid and ignorant.
His results reflect the locations of the Roman Empire!
Pretty much.
That of the Phoenicians, Alexander the Great, the ottomans, Persians etc
@@michaeltakkou5828
The Greeks called the Canaanites Phoenicians.
You can see that in the lineage of the Hamites under the Table of Nations.
Not really
more than 200 years ago..... all DNA ... is extremely mixed..
Funny my mom’s grandparents emigrated from Sicily. We did the test and surprisingly my mom only came back 10% Italian! She is almost 50% Greek!
That's insane! So interesting!
Sam Paterson Greerings. I would not take MyHeritage’s results seriously or any of those autosomal tests as “factual”. They just provide “estimates” and some companies are worse than other including MyHeritage. I’m approximately 1/8 Sicilian and MyHeritage claims I have no ancestry of that region. When I uploaded my DNA results to DNALand.com it showed “West/East Mediterranean Islander” which includes Maltese, Sicilian, which makes sense. Chromosome painting shows “Mediterranean, North African, West Asia and Atlantic” markers that make up my Sicilian ancestry when I see how I match to the few Sicilian cousin matches I have found to date. As one genetic genealogist has argued, all these vendors provide unreliable results and you have to pay close attention to your close genetic cousin matches and learn where their ancestors are from to verify where yours are from. Also, chromosome painting is also reliable.
Sam Paterson DNA is not real man. Greeks are 10 million people and they have 3.5 million Albanians that went there 600 years ago. And these Albs were marrying each other , WHY this DNA have results for Ashkenazi Jews and not for Albanians? Albanians are one of the most ancient and one of the native people of Europe.
Albundy christ hahahhaaahahahahah you are dreamer, greeks has 99.5 helenic dna
Vrzzz • Gr what’s albundy Christ?
Wow! I did my DNA test, and my results came back today, and I'm nearly identical to Emilio's results. The difference is that I'm more Greek than Italian. It's so exciting! x
In other words he is 100% Mediterranean
Yes!
Central American means Central Native American not Mexican
Central American in myheritage means Central American, Mexican and parts of South America it seems.
Not true I have 27% Central American and it Specifically breaks it down and it says 0% Native American
According to My Heritage's definition, "Central American" is a mixed or mestizo category which includes European, Native American and African. It goes from Mexico all the way down to S. America. So it is a mixed group. A part of the Euro, Native and African ancestry goes into this group. Anything extra is classified as such. Just read My Heritage own definition. I know this creates a lot of confusion and people think it either refers to Central Americans or indigenous people of Central America etc. My Heritage simply uses a category that is absent in most other DNA tests.
Central American is not Central Native American :) .I'm chilean i do this test dna and he tell me that i'm 72% centralAmerican and 24.9% European and 3,1% middle east :) . I download my test and i put it in dna land and tell me more result, he tell me that i'm 46% Native American and 54% WestEurasian. Myheritage give CentralAmerican beceause it's in this area that they are most poeple who are Mixed European and Native American. Myheritage can't find Native American dna but dna land can do it :) so Central American = Native American and European and maybe african ancestry. My tribe ancestry it's Mapuche :) Chilean poeple are mixed :) Sorry for my English :)
Cental American is either Native american or from somewhere else. There are no "central american" genes. The countries in Central America are just as every other country in the American continent a mixture of Native American and everything else, so , if i were you, I would ask for my money back...
Even if you are siblings your dna can be completely different. It is not all the same. Some can have more of one ethnic group and vice versa.
Didn’t realize that until after filmed! Woops- thanks for the info!
Very true. My sister for example had triple the French. My middle eastern and west Asian are higher than hers. Our majority Italian percentage is however very similar.
How is that possible for biological siblings? I'm just curious! I would think it would be the same for all siblings!
Erin S. If you are identical twins (or clones) you’ll have the same DNA. Siblings are made from the same ”recipy” but not the same ”batch”. So they’ll be almost identical but not exactly.
Very true, so do have your brothers or sisters take the test, it might come out completely different.
Iberia is spain and portugal...
Spsin mostly
I'm the 69th like. Nice
@Big Mouth not true, Hispania was the name of a territory similar to the nowadays one in the times of Roman Empire. The part of the actual Portugal was called Lusitania... if you don´t know, better don´t invent. Greetings from Spain ;)
yes, Helena... also Andorra and Gibraltar ;)
@@ExternalMedia of course ;)
I love watching these videos, but his response is probably my fav! He seemed so happy to be everything :). You guys are adorable❤️
Awww thanks so much!😘♥️
Actually she was a b ..she thought she was Irish 😂😂😂
Beautiful couple, your husband DNA results is the history of Italy xD
When I did my DNA test, I only got 14% Italian, and both of my great grandparents on my maternal grandfathers side were born and raised in Calabria. My mom took one and got 50% Greek as her result!
Then most of her family is probably from greece
South Italy (Calabria) was known as "Magna Greca" in Latin. "Greater Greece". Tarentum was the first Greek city with 1 million inhabitants.
My mother was from Ancona, her parents and their parents were also Italian. She came out mostly Italian, with Greece, Albania, and Greek islands thrown in the mix. But there was also 7% Swedish, and I have no idea where that came from. My other Italian relatives all refuse to take these tests. They want to think of themselves as 100% Italian. Given my mother's emphasis on the Adriatic and Aegean seas, I wonder if my Italian ancestors were fishermen and fisherwomen. Certainly Ancona is a fishing town--a Greek colony before it became Roman.
Concerning the Greek side of my Italian heritage, one of my Italian great grandparents was named Socrate Montano. What a great name!
I’m “100% Sicilian”. I’m 51 years old. I was born in Glendale, California. And my family has been in America for over 100 years by now. And I’m more Italian than your Italian fiancé! I’m 91% Italian! The rest is 6% Greek, and 3% Mid East. I am a smidgen Scandinavian too which would explain my father’s blonde hair and blue eyes.
The Italian do have blond hair, and blue eyes. North Italy is south Tirol, a lot of German speaking people, wirh German names and so on.
I love his ethnic mix! 49.6% Italian, 19.2% Greek, and 31.2% others. Plus, he has a very cool accent. That's really cool. Bellissimo!
Nice results to both of you, my Nonno who is Sicilian had
37% Greek and south Italian
28.1% Italian
13.9% West Asian
13.5% Sephardic Jewish
5% North African
1.5% Nigerian
Most of italians gets various results. The further you go back in time the more you find.
Consider that Italy was home of various different ethnics over the centuries.
Celts, Roman, Greek, Berbers, Arabs, Normans, Byzantine, Spanish, French, sephardic jews, Balkans, Germans and several eurasian barbaric tribes that came after the collapse of roman empire... and i listed only the most relevant ones...
That's why in Calabria and Campania you can see a lot of blonde people with blue eyes (norman dna) as well as dark skinned people with dark eyes and dark hairs (arab dna). Totally expectable.
That's us.
Pretty funny thing to me is that I often see people results with "~1%" nigerian including myself, however I have no ideo why and many results seem inaccurate to my own research with Myheritage. One of my grandparent was from england and had relatives from wales, all the others were from France, the results said I am more british than french! Using my raw DNA and uploading it to different websites (with what they can, I mean there's just a few websites and nothing is free) however stated that I had less english dna and more northwestern Europe, seems like we can't trust anyone.
I love this video so much. I am 34 and have spent my whole life believing I'm of Spanish descent as that is what my Grandad thought, based on historical records, my mum has a strong Mediterranean look and Grandad was always confused with locals whenever we went to Spain on holiday. I used MyHeritage and discovered we are of Italian descent with a touch of Greek! My life has been a lie too! It's so cool to know though. Learning about Italy has been the most lovely adventure. Thanks for sharing! From GB
Римская империя это мощно !
Emilio's ancestry looks like a map of the Roman Empire.
Poland, Lithuania, Iran and Nigeria = Roman Empire??????
Ahahahaha yes 😂
@@pistofalszywipatrioci Eastern Europe is highlighted because of the Ashkenazi Jewish connection. However, Ashkenazi Jewish DNA is generally traced to Middle Eastern male lines and early converted European female ancestors. It is generally thought of as Jewish males converting and marrying local non-Jewish females. So, yes, Roman Empire makes perfect sense.
True! but Hispania (Spain and Portugal) Galia (France) and Britannia (England) are left. If they added those countries and quite some others it would be literally the roman empire.
@@pistofalszywipatrioci - The Romans' armies were made up of people from all the territories they conquered, and mercenaries. Who were the mercenaries? The Visigoths and the Ostrogoths, for instance.
Southern Italy was the "Great Greece" (Magna Graecia: Kroton, Locri Epizefiri, Kaulon, Skylletion, etc), then it was under the Roman Empire (remember the Roman conquest of north Africa after the defeat of Carthage), Arab Empire and Norman Empire. So it's a classic DNA result for southern Italians.
Saluti da Santa Caterina dello ionio (Catanzaro, Calabria), passate da questi posti perché c'è abbastanza da visitare (Chiesa bizantina di Stilo, Scogliera di Caminia-Pietragrande, Parco archeologico "Scolacium", Cascate di Bivongi, Parco archeologico di Monasterace ossia l'antica Kaulon).

Stop bullshit
Myhertge is inaccurate.
YAY EMILIO's DEBUT!!!! I hope I am 100% Italian now that I know it's possible to be blonde, blue-eyed AND Italian :) Loved this video you guys! The reactions are priceless!!
Can’t wait to see yours!!!! I’m sure you’ve got some italiana :)
Do the test Zoey! 😃👍🏻
It is surely possible.
Many Sicilian persons have blue eyes and blonde hair; mostly because of their Norman heritage, when the Normans settled down there after the short Arab occupation (that's why the palace of Sicilian regional Assembly is called Palace of the Normans and that's why curiously Lombardo or Lombardi are Sicilian surnames and not Lombard surnames). Some of them could also have blue eyes because they inherited them from French occupations.
Recently they even found ancient traces of viking shrines in Sicily.
HAHAHA ZOEY❤️❤️❤️
That's a bit stupid 😂 Of course you can be blind or ginger with light eyes. You're from southern Europe, not, let's say Native American. Lots of people from Spain, Portugal or Spain are full Southern European and look like a Nordic person (myself for example).
He's got some north african blood because of the Moorish invasion of the Iberian Peninsula and the Sicily region in Italy. A lot of portuguese people, spaniards and Italians have some north african heritage.
It's not because of the Moorish invasion, actually the traces of north african DNA was present in pre Indo European peoples of southern Europe and it went to modern European only through it.
And also because of the moorish invasion. They stayed in that region for about 700 years
OMG I have seen some Italians and spainish people and i would never belive that they ae from Europe. TThey have dark features slin like arab north african type people.
ForgiveMe786 well then you see Europeans like George Clooney who are dark and not Sicilian ,Spanish or Portuguese. And Sicily was not under moorish occupation for 700 years at all . Just southern Spain .
@@ForgiveMe786 Lol as if being european would mean, blue eyes and fair hair... Have you ever been in France, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Greece, Malta, Germany or even UK? Cause blonde blue eyed people are less than half of the people.
His dna test results were soo interesting!
She pointed out the African parts of him and he said “it’s my mothers side, they’re so dark” 😂😂😭 Whew chileeee
Right lmmfaoooooooo smh
Actualy north africans are not so dark
You're 36 % Native American which is a lot.....
😂😂😂😂
horusam maggot actually there are a lot of dark North Africans
The Romans, the Persians and the Greeks all had empires that spanned Europe Africa and the Middle East. They also had many wars with each other and took a lot of captives from each others' armies who ended up either as slaves or mercenaries fighting for the opposite side.
this was amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Loved it so much!!!! I got my mom a DNA test for her birthday because she was adopted, and she's 50% English!!!!! Such a shock haha, now I want to do mine!
Ahhhh thanks so much Tiffany!!! Yes you totally should, we found it so interesting and that’s awesome your mom did it!!!
Jews who did not want to convert were expelled from Spain and arrived in North Africa and were there until 1949. Some of the Jews are called "Marranos" who forced them to convert to Christianity. And to this day there are people who are their sons. Brazil . Mexico and all of South America.
Thanks for the information!! I had some jewish ancestors in Manaus Brazil, I thought they were just portuguese but after uploading my dna raw data to gedmatch I learned that they come from a region called Belmonte. Apparently they were hiding their religion for centuries נתי נתניתי
Half of Spanish ppl have Jewish blood as thay was forced to convert un 1492 and then Portuguese did the same to the Jewish. The ones that did not want to convert had to leave the Iberia. Also the Spanish inquisition was to find out if the converted jews where just acting Christian....so many librarians have Jewish DNA
@ercan kilic
Why do not you write your own history book ... and write what you think? Jews have a history of persecution since the Exodus from Egypt. The Jews have a Bible. You can choose to believe or not. That's your right. I think if you believe in yourself you will not go far. Someone can tell you truth or lies. You choose what is truth and what is false. There's a rule ... Dad does not lie to his son. A tradition that passes from father to son is true. Otherwise you will not believe anything.
@Lorelei Haart pretty interesting details on blood libels in Wikipedia. So some Jews in fact pagans made pagan sacrifices on Christians. Authorities used the crimes to promote a generalization about all faithful Jews making blood libel. Nice pretext for the Spanish Inquisition to ban every Jews.
@@RomanoPRODUCTION
Jews can not be pagan. As well as Christians can not be pagan. You either Jewish or Pagan. Christian or Pagan. Can't be both. As far as blood sacrifice.... it's all just Jew hating propaganda currently spreaded by Islamists and Nazis.
OMG wow! Isn’t DNA just so fascinating!? Loved seeing Emilio in the video, he’s adorable.I also took the test and made a video on my channel. I was blown away to learn I was 30.3 percent Italian and have no Lebanese blood. (thought I was half)I still consider you way more Italian than me though since you live there and speak the language so fluently.
Thanks Antoinette! I'll have to check out your video, it's so interesting!
Emilio: “Why not?” Love it!!!😘 Mazel Tov Emilio!
Hahahaha
@@sofiesworld OMG he is SOO cute!! and that "why not?" lol I'm dying here😂😂 Love from Istanbul!
FOR YOUR INFORMATION :ITALIAN DNA IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THAN JEWISH DNA.ITALIAN DNA IS EUROPEAN AND JEWISH DNA IS AFRICAN/NORTH AFRICAN.JEWS ARE BI RACIAL,HENCE THEIR OBVIOUS CHARACTERISTICS ESPECIALLY IN ISRAELI NORTH AFRICA (ISRAEL)AND THEIR SEMITE COUSINS THE ARABS.
I'm Russian and I had 3% IBERIAN blood in DNA test
It's crazy how far away iberia and my homeland is
Coincidentally, the country of Georgia was once called Iberia during the middle ages so it would make sense in that context but it's obviously unrelated to the Spanish & Portuguese Iberia the DNA result is referring to lol.
Love this! I just sent mine in and finding others who took their test. this was so neat. New subscriber!
Unsurprisingly, the origin of Emiio is from southern Italy that is bordering with Sicily, the Emirate of Sicily was once ruled for a long time (about 250 years) by by Arab-Berbers before being recaptured by the vikings.
17% Jewish, wow! That is quite a lot (most likely 1 or 2 great-grandparents were 100% Jewish!
A lot of Jews in Spain and East Europe were kicked out, killed, or forced to convert.
Actually Ashkenazi Jews and Mizrahi Jews doesn't have much in common in terms of DNA.
SHICOFF1 originally no but they lived there for centuries and they mixed with local people just like Hungarians have similar dna to surraunding slavic people.
@@volkhen0 get your facts right! a mizrahi jew, even a yemeni jew has much more in common with an ashkenazi jew from russia than ashkenazi jew from russia and a russian........ jews all over the world has common DNA and it doesnt matter where they are, thats why in Israel theres a special bone marrow donation from jews only because they are the only ones that match! and its proven scientifically!!!
@SHICOFF1 Ashkenazi Jews are descendants of the Jewish population that were living in Galilee, Samaria and Judea during the rule of the region by the Roman Empire. Emperor Hadrian changed the name of region to Syria Palaestina in 135 AD because of frequent Jewish revolts against the Romans and scattered some of the population there to the European regions ruled by the Romans and scattered other Jews to other places in the Roman Empire. Hadrian believed by taking the Jews from their homeland that he would quell the Jewish rebellions. Because a large percentage of the Jewish population sent to Europe settled in Germany and intermarried with the local population and Germans are thought to be descendants of Ashkenaz, who was a Great grandson of Noah, Grandson of Japheth and son of Gomer, the term Ashkenazi Jewish was born .

You guys are too cute! Thanks Sofie! I used your code last month and purchased a kit! I always wanted to do it and I FINALLY did! I won't bore you with the breakdown here, but it's 90.1 African, about 5 nations, and 9.9 European, about 5 nations as well! Too cool for school! LOL
That’s awesome!!!
Omg what an honour for you to have some North African dna in you you should be proud
My grandfather was from Sicily so I’m part of all who invaded that island. Many diff. invaders. There is no such thing as 100% anything. I love it.
This was so interesting. For non Italian readers, during the centuries the south of Italy was ruled by Greeks (that had strict relationships with Persians), Romans, Vikings and eastern European "barbarians" (no disrespect, just how they're historically named here), Arabs, Turkish, Normans (a sort of French/Viking population), Swabians (German), French, and Spanish... This explains most of Emilio's Dna, but Ashkenazi Jew and Nigerian kind of took me aback 😊. Congratulations to the both of you!
Michele I think that maybe He has Ashkenazi Jew because I read they radicate in Germany.
South Italians cluster close to Jews genetically. There is some overlap with both Ashkenazi and Sephardic gene pool.
MaMa 2020x so that could explain the Nigerian component
It has to be pointed out that a good chunck of the SSA in MENA is ancient (mostly East African) and shouldn't really influence the phenotype much, if at all. The rest is more recent (slave trade related?). It certainly appears it increased in Egypt greatly in Islamic times.
My Heritage is a unreliable site with a well known 'Nigerian bug' that gives a small part of Nigerian blood to anyone. Probably there is a problem in its archives, it may be acceptable to have 1-2% sub-Saharan blood but it's impossible that it's *always* Nigerian. There are people in Norway who are 99% Norwegian and north European and 1% Nigerian, it has become ridiculous. That said if the ancestors of Emilio come from southern Italy it's normal that he has Greek blood (southern Italy is the ancient Magna Graecia) and of other populations of the Mediterranean, because there have always been strong frequentations with those populations due to wars and trade. In northern Italy it's much rarer, for example I live in Lombardy and my DNA is half Italian and half North European and I don't even have a drop of Greek, African or Asian blood.
I have always thought I was half Italian and that was it through my mother. Both of her parents were Italians. Come to find out I came up 22% Greek, 14% Iberian (like you), and 12% Ashkenazi Jewish on MyHeritage. 23andMe pegs me as 28% Italian, .9% Iberian, 12% Jewish, and the rest was attributed broadly to Southern Europe. I'd say we Italians are a blended lot!
I'm from England, all i know is i'm English Anglo-saxon, Irish, German from mothers side. On my mothers side we had an ancestor who joined with the poor in his community (like himself) against the rich who had status and those who were from corperations and taking advantage of the poor. . There were many men who got together in Lancheshire in the 1800"s who were poor ( along with my ancestor). They traded with the poor fairly, while also having mercy on their fellow community. Now the company is still here in England. It used to be called the Cooperative now known as Co-op today. I never knew my father, except he was Irish. I have been mistaken by Greeks in Greece as one of their own and was mistaken for Romanian. I've ordered this kit and can't wait, yet i'm so happy with who i am today xx Great vid, thanks for sharing! xx
Don't forget Rome conquered the known world,lol.My dad,full Italian,always said there could be all nationalities in us.

Iberian peninsula is spanish and Portugal.. you could be from only one or a bit of both.. Ashkenazi means German in Hebrew but the European Jewish DNA is very close to middle eastern DNA so not surprising.. and Italian DNA and Jewish DNA is also very close.. So welcome to the tribe Emilio!
Ashkenazi means Ashkenazi Jewish it's quite specific not German.
the word Ashkenazi translates to German(Jewish) in Hebrew . that's what I meant and just edited it in. but yes, it is now used as a broad European Jewish dna not just German Jewish.
sukie584 I think it’s a Yiddish word, not Hebrew.
sukie584
Ashkenaz means Germany in medievel hebrew, not the modern one. Ashkenaz was a region that included germany & france, while sefarad included spain & portugal. The jews of Ashkenaz emigrated mainly to eastern european countries such as poland and lithuania... and the Jews of Sefarad went to north africa or to the ottoman empire. Mizrahi Jews are the Jews who emigrated from Judea to Babylon and did not return until recently, the Jews of Persia and Iraq are mostly their descendants
correct. but you might want to highlight Jackieblue1 not me.. I said pretty much the same thing
Awesome Video!! I did my heritage DNA too and got Iberian, Irish, Scottish &Welsh, Italian and other ethnicities.
So cool!!! We are kind of similar then :)
Do you have the option in MyHeritage to get in touch with relatives?
Mizrahi Jewish are Jews from the Middle East (including but not limited to Iraq and Iran). Ashkenazi Jewish are Jews from European Origin (except for Spain/Iberia and Southern France who are referred to as "Sephardic (=Hispanic) Jews").
So just to clarify when Central American comes up, it means indigenous of those lands. Unless your parents look 100% indigenous (native) then you’re likely mixed with some immigrant population (Spanish) as nationalities don’t necessarily determine ethnicity. From your results, your Mexican heritage is mostly indigenous and your other parent has most of the Spanish English mix. Both of your results are very interesting! If you get a chance try AncestryDNA- I did both and AncestryDNA was definitely more detailed.
Sofie i’m interested to know what part of Italy your relatives are from. After doing a bit of research I found out that many Northern Italians share DNA markers with Spaniards & Portuguese so your high percentage of Iberian could actually be from your Italian side.
Southern Italians share eastern mediterranean DNA related to the near east or levant (lebanon, cyprus, turkey) This might be why I received a high percentage of Italian and Greek rather than the middle east (Lebanese) percentage I was expecting. Gosh this DNA thing is so fascinating.
They’re from Rome but from Puglia and Campania decent
The reason why most Southern Italians will likely have Greek DNA (and many greeks will likely have Italian DnA) is because Greeks ruled over that part of Italy for a long period of time, and those Greeks were having a lot of back and forths with the phoenicians which was obviously the ancient Mediterranean civilization that originated mainly from Lebanon. Which if from what i'm guessing by your comment your are Lebanese, that would make so much sense why you got italian and Greek dna.
Very interesting results for both of you. Part of my family came from Pizzo Calabria. Emilio's results were similar to mine. Mine was 52% Italian, 7.2% Iberian, 3% Greek, 15% middle eastern, 10% North African (1% Nigerian), and 5% west Asian. Emilio and I share some very close percentages. - Roberto Aloi
I wonder if it's a kind of "genetic signature" of Calabria.
Girl, Mexico is not in Central America. It’s in North America !
Greek is not an ethnicity, but a nationality...it comprises mostly assimilated albanians, bulgarians, serbs, romanians, turks and arabs
I looked at this guy and instantly knew he was Jewish and sure enough
Average Joe probably the nose .
@@mountainsquds3320 bro its semetie nose, many arabs have the same nose.
He looks Southern European (Greek, Italian, or Spanish, maybe even French). She looks Hispanic, or Middle Eastern.
She doesn't look middle eastern
@Sebastian Benitez he looks south europen not anglo
Sebastian Benitez She looks Mestiza
I did the DNA test last week and I was astonished from the result ! I am human !
Haha loser. I came in 100% space alien. space alien > human.
I love this kind of videos in which people find out their ancestry, especially if they are made by youtubers I follow. PS your childen are going to be a cool mix.
It always fun to find out where our ancestors came from. Usually for people who come from Latin America are Iberian cause of the colonization of the Americas. usually for DNA there's variation for example if a sibling does the same test the results will be a bit different explaining why some siblings don't look alike like have the same hair or skin color 🤷🏻♀️
Great to know!
Here’s a helpful hint 😁
You are 100% you ..there’s only one 😆
50% parents (2)
25% of each grandparent (4)
~12.5% of each great-grandparent (8)
~6% of each great-great gp (16)
~3% of each 3x-great gp (32)
~1.5% of each 4x- great go (64)
And just less than 1% of 5x great gp’s (128)
6x greats- you have (or should have!) 256, and you continue to double it for each generation.
So if you are more or less 12% from one place, one of your great- grandparents were full-blood, OR you have more ancestors from one place farther up the tree which were mixed farther back.
Hope this helps! Thanks for sharing your results! We’re waiting for ours...we think my hubby is half Italian from Calabria!
Great breakdown n explanation..by %...
exept if an origin is shared by the two parents ... I could be 4% whatever maybe 2% from my dad and the two others from my mom ...
Angie K not true because you can have hidden DNA that doesn’t show for you but could show for your son, for example
Angie K What is this based on? Doesn’t seem correct at all.
We did ours. I wanted to be at least some Italian... nope! 67 % Welsh/ English 13% Irish/Scottish (I’m a natural red head) and a surprise- 13% Jewish. 8% Scot/Irish. I didn’t know about the Russian Jewish side until on Ancestry, my paternal grandfather and his 5 brothers changed their name Greenberg to Greene. My dad never told us this. Idk if he knew or not. 5%German 2%Norway and 1% Native American Andean. We have traced a relative back to Italy, Cesar Pieto Alberti and that name was changed when he arrived in America after 1635. His descendants changed it to Burtis. I find this all so fascinating!
1635? If he was your lone Italian ancestor, his genes probably have long been eliminated from your gene pool during the past 400 years. In every generation 50% of the parents genes are thrown out and lost to history. Both parents combined give 46 pairs to the egg, since you only keep 23 pairs, that means 1/2 of your potential genetic history is thrown away!
Nice results. Letting you know that many Italians will have some North African, Middle East and some other African ancestry other than Italian.
Sometimes MyHeritage will bundle the Irish inside the English. If you test with 23&Me you will see the English.
The husband is from all over the Globe. Thanks for sharing.
Iberia: Portugal, Spain, Andorra, a little bit of France, and Gibraltar
Yes. so many people that do these tests dont know that 🤦🏿♀️.
Andorra es un país hispano independiente
France, WTF!!
Thanks for sharing your results
Looks very interesting
I want do mine now
Greetings from Italy 🇮🇹
You can’t be 100% Mexican 🤦♂️
You can't be any percentage Mexican, because Mexican is not an ethnic group.
southern Italy was the cross road of the ancient world
I saw immediately that he has jewish roots: his eyes are jewish .
And a lot of Italians have jewish blood.
Zalino . Yes many Italians have a common origin with the Jews .
Facts!
Genesis 9:27 even as far back in the Bible, is where God & Noah blessed the Japhethite(founder of the Caucus Mountains & Europe) -Shemite(Hebrew or Jew) union.
Would you like to see, from the
Table of Nations?
Just ordered my kit!!! thank god for the free shipping ❤
Yay how exciting! Let me know what you find out!
It's 79£ in the UK.
When they got promotions it is 39£.Also the shipping cost about 8£,and postage stamps cost like 3,50£.
Wow I’m so surprised by these results! Very interesting. It’s so cool that Emilio is from different places! I’m so excited to take my DNA test
Yes girl! I can't wait to hear about yours!
Regarding the comment, "Doesn't look Mexican at all."
Mexicans can be a combination of anything. Of course your typical Mexican is usually part Iberian (European) and Native American ( indigenous) since Spain was the first European country to invade Mexico. However since being Mexican only describes one's nationality someone could for example have parents that were both born in China but be Mexican if they were born in Mexico.
found the comment confusing- "cos you know the Mexicans had to come from somewhere, right?" um , no they were originally indigenous before the rest of the Iberian peninsula invaded...???
Yes she does, a beautiful mixture, I thought was going to be mixed with Inuit.
I am a Medina. Was told that I have Italian and European as well as African. W just did our test. Your results sounds like what I think mines would be. How ironic it would be that we are related!
This is so cool!! You’re not Italian but you’re English?! 😁 As far as I know, I’m 100% British, but this has made me question EVERYTHING! 😱
Your dad is Mexican Mestiso mixed Iberian Spanish and Native American Mexican
I don't expect that Americans know geography, but...how is it possible that people who's ancestors came from Spain don't know what is Iberian peninsula. And how can somebody be 100 pr Mexican!
A lot of Americans will have a hard time telling you the capital of California or Texas, so ya, Iberian peninsula is a far stretch to know.
@@sirjemalmet849 I'm an American of German, French and Irish DNA and even I knew this, I cringed hard at both parts you pointed out, it's sad 95% of Americans know nothing about European history, myself included but I at least started learning I on my personal time a couple years ago and learning a lot.
@@vivaeuropa Thank you for your answer. I think older Europeans know most of things just from geography and history lessons and don't really read that much. Iberian peninsula problem is from video to video. What is interesting very informert are usually cubans. They know even from what place their ancestors came to Cuba and what where the reasons why they came.
I'm an American and I went to a good school that taught me about the world and other cultures since day 1 so don't be fooled because Americans that have a good comprehension of the world DO exist. However, as a Hispanic individual I was horrified to hear she didn't know what Iberia was. You would think she'd take the time to learn about her culture more beforehand.
@@AntoineM1312 Bro lets be real we're part of the very few Americans who know geography as most schools are shit, unless you self learn or take a geography class in college you won't know much beside the wars we had with other countries.
One of my all time favorite CZcamsrs, she is outstanding! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thanks so much!
Most welcome!
It kills me when Mexicans say “American? Iberian? Huh?”
Like ... no shit... Mexican people are Iberian and Native American
Could not stop laughing at your reaction to Emilio's results! I really want to get mine done now!!
Hahahahaha! You totally should! It was super fun :)
Laura G watch out bcz no insurance company will insure you. This is what these crooked companies do here in Canada.
Iberian is Spanish AND Portuguese.
Welcome to the mizrahi family brother 🇦🇫✡️🇪🇬✡️🇮🇶✡️🇮🇷✡️🇱🇾🇰🇼✡️🇯🇴✡️🇾🇪✡️🇸🇾✡️🇴🇲🕍🕍
Southern Italy DNA can be a mix of ALL the countries surrounding the Mediterranea, and if counting Sicily you can throw some northwest European e.g.: Vikings!
He is Mediterranean, and the phoenicians traveled through all the sea, and the arabics invaded Europe, so, it's quite normal those results.
Yeh arabs are not phoneicaians the Arabs mixed with Phoenicians . The Arabs are not an unified ethnic group, but a massive mixed identity. The only real Arabs are those from the Gulf states, where they came from. Arabs in Levant, Iraq and North Africa are mostly recognized as Arabized people, whom many of its cultures are not the same to Gulf Arabs except the language. Levant and North Africa, however, had a long contact with ancient civilization, being used to have Roman influences. Arabs came from Arabian peninsula etc gulf . before they invaded other lands and intermarried with the people. Their natural skin tone is mostly tanned olive Hair is usually wavy or curly, but not as curly as Northeast Africans. Eye brows are thicker than most Europeans. Eye lashes are longer than Europeans and the lips are thicker. Levant arabs In the other hand are much lighter than Peninsula Arabs . Due to the crucade, many Lebanese and Palestinians carry European ancestry. Their appearance resembles Southern Europeans, with nose and eyes smaller than most Middle Easterners and the lips look more like Europeans.
@@nooraqueen2716 I didn't say that arabs were phoenicians, I said that both arabs and phoenicians each at their time, with their own methods lets say... Occupied Europe, at least the Mediterranean countries. That's why Mediterraneans might have both arabs and other Mediterranean countries ancestry. Specially Iberians. Do you know what I'm meant now don't you? Have I explained myself ok? If I didn't I'll try again😅.
And, as for the rest of the info, was quite interesting, thanks.
Best regards from Barcelona!
The reason it states "Iraqi/Irani" it's because of the north of Iraq "Kurdistan region had many wars Roman came there I think. So it's not the Arab south of Iraq that you are related to it's the north which is Kurdish region within Iraq also north west Iran is Kurdish region as well. . Our region had lots Jewish heritage as well. We still have many names of place that was Jewish before Islam.
There were also Northern Canaanites, Arameans, Northern Israelites, Jews, Assyrians, Gutians, Lullubians, Cyrtians, Karduchians, Medians, Armenians and Persians who migrated to Italy for business and education and/or were deported thereto as slaves and war prisioners as a result of the wars between the Roman Empire and the many nations of the Levant, Mesopotamia, Caucasia and Iran.
All world is kurdish right?
@AhuraMazda Avestan U dont have even a country so fuck off.
Tiger stop nullshit.
Tiger lol.
Awesome :D I'm getting this 2x package for Christmas for me and my wife. I can't wait for the results ^^
You can upload your data to other sites and will get diff. Results. Somethings to keep in mind. 1.) Some traits skip. Identical twins or triplets can take the test and have diff percentages. 2.) France, Austria, Spain owned parts of Italy. There was an invasion from Africa in parts of southern Italy. Arabs went there as well, they brought sugar cane over which changed the game up for all our good desserts 👍. Greeks settled in a lot of places, especially Napoli, has greek origins. The history of Italy is so vast and hard to keep up with, I don't claim to be an expert. 3.) These tests, for females, mostly focus on your moms mom, her mom and so on. And lastly.. how good are these tests really?? I think there are 4 main dna places to choose from. If you're rich enough to test at all of those sites.. you will get different results. So who is right and who is wrong? Might just be all a gimmick. They're making a ton of profit that is for sure haha. So google "what to do with my raw dna data" and you will have a list of sites you can upload your data for free. You will get different results, I know this for a fact. And hey, one site might say you're 10% Italian, who knows. Have your brother, dad, or Nonno test
Parts of Northern Italy still speak German around the Alps. But watch any episode of Spartacus or other gladiator era age shows... Italians collected people from all over and mixed with them, slaves and non slaves.
NO WAY!! No Italian?!? 🤣🤣 Now I’m super curious because I think I’m so sure of my background but maybe not!!!
It’s crazy! Well apparently southern Italy was conquered some time by Spain, so it makes sense, but never knew! Do it Cheryl!!! You’ll get 100% English I bet hahahaha
Sofie's World I’ll have at least 1% welsh haha. Just to make it a bit more exotic haha
Maybe you girls are related now that Sofie knows she has English blood!! Can you imagine!
Not only southern Italy, but also wide territories of northern Italy, for about 150 years.
There are Spanish influences also in northern dialects (just like French influences obviously).
Conquered by spain? Nope Naples and Sicily had a spanish king (that they were husburgic, so germans) also when they clamed indipendence the kings remains the same surnames. In Europe every kings were related each other. but never were a great imput from spain to italy etnhically
His face when she mentioned kids 😂😂😂
His face when she asked him to swab her q tip lol
I got 52% Native American, 24% iberian peninsula, 5% Irish and then like 20 more regions lol: Finland, Italy, Middle East, Central Asia, Russia, Jewish, Togo, etc.
Cute and adorable mixed 'European Couple'.
Shes a mestiza !!! Shes literally 60 /40. Nothing pure European about her. Im sure your comment would make her happy though
Wow so many unexpected things! Nice to have Emilio finally in a video. His accent is so cute
Hehehe :) Thanks Danica!
hi , im portuguese, Iberian is spanish and portuguese not only spanish. If you have irish is because tribes form irland come to portugal and spain , the celts tribes. So portuguese and spanish is celt iberians and romans blood
Blonde hair and blue eyes looks amazing
Emilio looks so Syrian/Lebanese!
Actually looks quite northern Spanish.
Ctwentysevenj Northern and Southern Spaniards look the same way...
Ctwentysevenj Look for example for Sergio Ramos and Pilar Rubio's family. He is from the south of Spain, blond (dark blond due to the age) with brown eyes. She is from Madrid, brunette with blue eyes. And their children are a mix of them (two blond with blue eyes and one with brown eyes and hair).
So there's no difference between Southern and Northern Spanish people... The difference in the peninsula is from west to east. A person from Western Spain is a lot closer to a Portuguese than to a person from Catalonia or the Balearic Islands.
Ctwentysevenj he definitely looks Eastern Mediterranean.
Looks Balkan to me
"eye-rain-ee-an" lol. MURCA!
I'm from Spain 🇪🇸 and when I saw the thumbnail I thought u were from Spain. I don't know why but I had that feeling.
Anyways Italians and Spaniards are so similar
Her last name is spanish soooo idk how she was surprised lol
I'm Spanish🇪🇦 and I thought the same when I saw her
Its like what scientist and geneologist have know for years...we all come from Africa. The longer ago your ancestors started to migrate north and northeast the lower the percentage will be or not show up on test (too low percentage)...but alas you were once African. Beautiful man.
There are historical reasons for those results.
Emilio is a perfect italian, since he has a varied DNA.
Your italian part, Sophie, maybe is "diluted" into your Iberian heritage. So maybe it's you mom's and grandad's one probably.
Italian in fact doesn't exist. Italian is a state of mind. 😁
pile333 Italian does exist, in the form of all the populations inhabiting the country since the Iron age (oscans, etruscans, ligureans, veneti etc.) 😊
Etruscans came from what we call today Turkey, according to recent researches.
Other recent researches say that they didn’t have any common cultural traits with populations of that area, so the Turkey guess is debatable.
These test show what one has inherrited not the sum of all of ones ancestors.
There was no Turkey then lol, those were predominantly Greek colonies, like Troy. :) Turkey was established around half of the 15th century. Before that,it was the East Roman or Byzantine Empire for centuries,surely you know that. :)
Greek and Italian DNA is the same🙏
@e y Italians are from Etruscans who was Greek Dorians.
@E These tests try to separate them, but often don't do a great job because the region is so mixed.
True in southern Italy, in northern Italy they are of Celtic origin.
Thank you so much for your informative and fun video and also for the "Free Shipping" coupon still valid in 2020.
I did the Test and I am 26.4 welsh, Irish, Scottish, etc. I was so surprised.
Central American or Mexican means you are 36% native American you know , ! Pocahontas ! Get it ? you are a mix of 2 races European and American that's it Don't get hung up on Culture and language this DNA test its about RACE .
Central American in myheritage means "Mestizo," not Native American. Myheritage considers her to be 36% Mestizo.
you are confusing Culture Heritage with race . native Americans are all peoples of the American Continent, remember America is not a country but a Continent from Alaska all the way down to Chile in south America just one race same DNA and her DNA test says 36% from the american continent and 64% from the European Continent and yes she is Mix race or Mestizo same thing .
No I'm not. It's saying she is 36% Mestiza. Myheritage defines "Central American" as a mixed race person from Latin America, look it up. Myhertiage uses Mestizo reference samples for the "Central American ethnicity". So she is more than 64% European and less than 36% Indigenous.
This guy explains it on a video.
