What is race, exactly? Science tells us there is no genetic or scientific basis for it. Instead it’s largely a made-up label, used to define and separate us. Of course, just because race is made up doesn’t make it any less powerful. To a disturbing extent, race still determines people’s perceptions, their opportunities, and their experiences. Genetic sequencing, which has allowed researchers to trace the path of human migration and now allows individuals to trace their own ancestry, has introduced new ways of thinking about human diversity. And this, in turn, has opened up a conversation about the long, tangled, and often brutal history that all of us ultimately share.
These six people had their DNA tested with National Geographic’s Geno DNA Ancestry Kit. Unbeknownst to them, the results indicate essentially the same “racial” heritage. See how they react in this moving video.

Developments in genetic sequencing have helped scientists illustrate how people around the world may be more alike than what meets the eye. What do you find most fascinating about the Genographic DNA ancestry database?
Stop playing the race card so much you pathetic weasels
I have no idea why this made ME emotional
I'm getting emotional too, this melting pot "race mixing" propaganda infuriates me! Leave my genes and my heritage alone!
Cademan Caden because you worship life like a theist worships god.
it's the music
Cademan Caden lol that's so weird isn't it? I'm like why am I getting misty eyed?
This made me cry. I’m a mixture of so many races, i hate having to try and categorize myself. I am me I’m not just one race I am many things but above all i am human just like everyone else
Yeah,I feel you..
I dont care about you
I know you made this comment years ago, but I just wanted to suggest that the best idea in life is usually never to categorize yourself anyway.
I cried too
You should show others with a similar genetic profile. It's great!
Wow, that would be great to do for just anybody see what others look like with the exact same genetic profile.
we are called human race
@@TTT-qk1cs Well +singerliljermz is right in the sense of the way divisions are laid out at a higher level.
Maybe so - but that doesn't make it scientifically accurate. Humans are a species - not a race. "the human race" is just used in common parlance, not in scientific conversations.
what about nascar
They all look so Chilean. :-) Greetings from Chile.
great country. keep it chilean and say no to immigrants
@@user-ej3iw8lw3w Chile is a country of immigrants, just like all other countries in the entire American continent.
i just can't relate to this video especially the "emotion" they share.
i understand the science they were talking about, it's about the DNA they have in common although they don't know each other and have no relationships.
but i don't understand anything else. i don't see any facial resemblance at all. to me, they're just different to each other.
would anyone kindly enlighten me?
This comment is old but I’ll take a stab at answering your question. My guess is they all come from countries where people are not as mixed as they personally are. They all sound like they come from the US. As opposed to Brazil or the Caribbean, places where a lot of people are highly mixed. So finding others that have the same genetic mix as their own makes them feel less alone.
@@free22 Yes. It's a sort of eroticism (as Batailles would likely call it) which motivates them to strong emotions when they find a base commonality with other people. Humans are discontinuous beings, but an identity beyond their lifespans represents an idea of continuous existence, which can be a source of spiritual comfort for some.
Same, I don't see a strong resemblance among them
On this video you guys made a far better match between title and content, and it does make sense. Keep it more like this, less like the twins video in which the video itself was great, but the title made no sense in context.
I hope they all got to meet!!
So is this a new thing? Matching people with the same type genetic makeup? A new marketing opportunity? the ending had a good point
When I turned 30 my father bought me the national geographic DNA test as a gift for my birthday. He is adopted and he was just as curious. The results are 45%Mediterranean 37% Northeren European and 16 % Southwest Asian. We tend to base ethnicities of other people solely on physical appearance. Sometimes it's not always obvious.
I would love to learn my DNA history!
Race isn't skin deep; skin colour is skin deep. Your race goes right through you. Our diseases, our lifespans, and even our bones are different.
Be warned: these comments are highly toxic
DNA testing and genealogy are amazing.
What common thread do they have in common?
... Kevin Bacon?
wonderful video
Why was not shown the pictures these people were looking at? Why the stress is on their words, not on the images?
¡Dios mío, la atrocidad!
I am from Brazil. I'm mixed like most of the population! When I moved to Europe suddenly everybody started questioning my heritage. People started telling me who I "really am" or who I'm "really not".. I felt so violated! Suddenly every time i am introduced to someone I have to describe to them who my grandparents were and who my great grandparents were and their life story (even though I have never even met them!).. So annoying! I'm thinking of doing a DNA test and walk around with it in my bag, so next time someone asks I just give it to them and they can do the math themselves!
You shouldn't be so offended. People are just curious because you are from a different continent to them and want to learn through you. I went to Brazil and people kept asking about my convict ancestry even though my relatives only came to Australia in the 1940s. That's people for you.
Thanks for telling me how to feel!
What annoys me is not the "where are you from?", what I find annoying is the " where are you reaaaallly from?" "But you're not reaaallly brazilian are you?" "what about your parents? What about your grandparents?" "But you have green eyes.." Its like I have to go around proving to people that I'm from Brazil and giving them my family tree! Funny thing is that in Brazil nobody has ever asked me those questions!
Amerimutt Le 56% Face
none of them look alike
If this video was played on every news Chanel world wide for a week I recon war would be a thing of the past
Awe🥺🥺thats so precious!🤗🤗
The fact of the matter is that people are wonderful no matter what has gone into the pot. They are interesting and beautiful human beings, and anyone who thinks they are better is not. Appreciate diversity.
He felt emotional because he hasn't been able to find a group that he can widely identify himself with.
Nat Geo u r great
the guy that said i identiy as mixed looks like one of his parents is egyptian

Did you guys know Logic is Biracial?
This program is discontinued is no longer available since 2019
why are americans so obsessed with race? i dont get it... like those percentages? who cares? isnt it enough to know where your parents and grandparents are from?
Leberkäse Semmel I’m American & I don’t get it either.I’m 45 & for the first time in my life people are openly bigoted.There were always bigoted people ,but it was not talked about openly.Even the people ,that thought like that, knew it was viewed as shameful & unacceptable in society.
Because the left is so adamant about identity politics
I just think it's cool to know
Well, being American is unique because we're such a melting pot of cultures and many of our families are so far removed from our ancestry. As for me, my parents and grandparents were both born in the US. In order to figure out our ancestry I had to go back to my great-grandparents. And among them it's really diverse -- Norway, Sweden, England, Romania, and Germany. It's just fascinating to me is all.

So what did they do when they met
Hmmm, I thought this was an actual show at first but it turns out it's a commercial???
I felt emotional too!
All these ppl look unique and beautiful ❤️
Wow, interesting
1:37 this woman calls herself “black Irish” (which isn’t even an ethnicity) yet she’s only 25% Northern Europe and they don’t even specify what ethnicities from Northern Europe she is. That doesn’t make any sense she’s literally like “im only a quarter European and I don’t even know what kind but hey I’m gonna call myself Irish”
the components that they listed are not recent ancestry
for instance
Southwest Asian is an ancient component that all recent West Eurasians have
This video is just evidence of Humanities Tribal Nature. Look how emotional people get when they find their 'Tribe'. They want to immediately embrace the people who look like them as family. This is how we are wired as Human Beings.
@Dagus, or it could mean that they have seen others and can relate to the way were treated.
I felt emotional too
wow
Can someone tell me if it's common in multicultural countries as the US or the UK (or wherever comes this video from) that people ask others about their race/ethnicity? Before I've 'learned' about it here on YT, I didn't know such a question exists at all. And I don't know what to think about it. I've heard the same question repeated in videos over and over. So, seemingly, it's not meant as a joke.
I'm not saying that living in a very homogeneous country is all sunshine and rainbows, but at least, people don't seem to make up senseless questions and bother others with them.
You ask a black person in Ireland where are they from, they answer Dublin , its like no, where are you really from
To answer your question Natgeo they are of the same species, homosaptual. Boom nailed it.
I haven't taken DNA test yet,I would love to..
Am multi racial..west African,Arab,British or Welsh and Jewish..as my mother told me..
I cried watching these people..
Even science should not define anybody... If they wants to accept or deny who and what they are its totally up to a person. Let them be who they wanted and feel comfortable to themselves. Whoever whatever we are we should not look at race nationality gender or status we have in life to differenciate ourselves.
Interesting
Geno 2.0 is ending so everyone, if you want to look at yours after 2019, make sure to download/print your results. :(
Why do not you post in Greece ??
But what culture do they adhere to?
Lumbees? Melungeons? Creoles? They look like my distant relatives.
They are quite different to me. The only thing similar is the skin tone, that is not even clear because the very artificial lighting used.
It would be nice if you guys did a documentary on the evolution of the social construct of racism. Talking about DNA does little as DNA is not what makes ppl dislike each other but a system of belief in false facts. If knowledge of DNA can change how ppl feel only, then the knowledge that we descended from African ancestors should have done the trick and it didn’t.
From a DNA point of view I like the curiosity of how same but different we are. Things like are doppelgänger related or do cells simply repeat itself to ensure there are multiple versions of us out there. Sometimes I think I should have gone into science...but then again I might be frustrated in their need to research concepts in isolation when nothing works in isolation
Racism will be over when we are all blended like in South Park.
Seahawk Fella I'll agree that all people need to be judged on their actions and/or deeds. Im not ready to say the whole world needs to be one religion, after all, variety is the spice of life and you said it yourself it's human nature to be tribal. I feel like sports are actually the answer. There would need to be additional sports invented that don't have anything to do with their physical abilities but would be a sort of mental Olympics and everyone could wet their instinctual appetite for tribal tendencies. I know sports aren't necessarily accepted in all Islam cultures but I don't care in this instance because tribalism would be replaced with constructive sports competition.
You never saw that Timmy Turner episode about the grey blobs?
Marc L. If that's the same as fairly odd parents then yes I did actually.
Seahawk Fella oh yeah Islam, the religion of peace. You know the one where women aren't technically allowed to show themselves at all? And where they're stoned to death if they're unfaithful to their husbands or have a lovelife without marrying the dude? And where your hand is cut off if you steal a Snickers? The dudes that live stream themselves cutting heads off "heathens"? Very peaceful, love it. عون الله معك يا أخي.
Sounds like genocide to me.
What? I don't get it. WHAT IS THE MESSAGE? GIVE US MORE OUT OF THE ENCYCLOPEDIA PLEASE.
Wooow.. genetic memory.. guy cried
Grab the popcorns...🍿
We do desire bigger family connection..this is that era. Just the idea that this group has similar mixture to your own.... fascinating.
you think that you're any different than me or them or the others? no! we are all the same. we came from the same roots and we are the same branches of the same tree.
Dios mío...
beauty
Sense8!
we're ALL just people! period...Now smile and be nice :)
cheers!!!
ron:)
no differences that matter! Check your genes dude
cheers!
ronP __ no need to leave your name in your comment you’re not writing a letter lmao
Vinson that is all you have to say?
ronP __ cheers to you! You speak the truth.
Yes! Nationality, race, etc it doesn’t matter! We are all just people
I identify as pinkish blue with orange poke-a-dots
I belong to the only race there is - the Human Race.
This videos message at the end is about peoples judgement of race and disregard for science. Kind of like what your doing. There certainly are different races of humans. Its in the DNA!
Think of different species of plants or animals. Say for instance possums. There are dozens of different species, that have obvious unique evolutionary traits. But they are all possum. Humans are the same and its undeniable.
Except sub-saharan african DNA has proven to decrease IQ and not increase. Sure you get an increase in maturation as a youth (blacks reach puberty quicker than their lighter counterparts) but overall you lose out in the long term when lighter pigments eventually reach puberty and have a upper hand in IQ and impulse control.
Crime statistics and youth incarceration statistics back up all my statements as well as the FBI statistics on AVG-IQ across the U.S.
MrFiddleedee
No it hasn't - you're trying to peddle a bunch of pseudoscientific mumbo-jumbo based on an old school disproven idea of "race".
So take your edition of The Bell Curve and place it along side with books about homeopathy, creationist "science" and flat-earth publications, that's exactly where it belongs....
@@MrFiddleedee Can you prove that IQ test is suitable for measuring intellectual capacity? Statistical correlation do not prove causality. After ww2 in Germany a strict correlation was found between birth rate in people and stork population, so this means that babies are brought by storks!
@@gorillaguerillaDK thirteen do fifty bucko, all your pedantic demagoguery isnt going to change that
No idea why I feel like one of em
Hm, this was good
I don't get it
i don't even have problem with people with diff colored-skin i mean they're also human and races don't matter i mean i like Gamora and she's green
I thought they were going to say Neanderthal because of the woman with the narrow eyes and big head. (Sorry ma'am)
What Genetic Thread do these six strangers have in common?
ALIENS!!!!
😂😂😂😂
Actually, that's true. All humans have been genetically engineered and created by extraterrestrial beings.
And this is why race exists and it's ok.
I was really surprised when she said they look like her because one of the first things i thought was they look so different from one another.
This is a good example of why people say race is a social construct. All these people share the same % of dna from the same parts of the world yet they look very different and would probably be judged to be of different racial backgrounds; those judgements may well consciously and subconsciously affect how people treat them.
We are all 100% Earthlings.
I identify as human!
We are all mongrels.
I still cant find who asked

Some people in this comment section should go back to /pol/
confusing race with ethnicity? ok National Geographic.

nat geo taking a turn in politics... where did you get these people from? political selection? these are not random selection... disgusting
who cares.
Preach
Obviously you since you clicked on the video and commented.
we all homosapien.
¡Son boricuas! They're Puerto Ricans.
There human?

This is just beautiful.
This is the type of bs you get when a channel that covers animals tries to cover human social structure.
You mean social geography? How dare the National GEOGRAPHIC channel cover social geography? Just fyi, they've always covered it.
Vatih Apparently, these kids have never read National Geographic magazines in their life. It was very common for the cover to be pictures of people from different cultures.
This isn't another specific culture, its a critique on how society views race. (Grew up reading NatGEO and I am right of center.) This is a buzzfeed tier video. It isn't informing you it is dictating to you. BIG difference bucko.
Congrats; you played yourself.
Lmao, spare the false claims of centrism. You're all over the comments section spewing 19th century pseudoscience about race- very, very far from the center.
I don't know where you're trying to go with this comment, but views on ideals, concepts, situations, etc, form a crucial part in how humans think, behave, and move forwards and isn't new to Natgeo at all. This video showcases the unique situation caused by mix-breeding and how that affects their stance in humanity. There's nothing political or dictating here, you're just interpreting as such to make a stance for something.
Diversity just happens
Wow big deal. You're human right? That's all that matters. I'm multiracial also, and it doesn't matter one bit... I don't even believe if there were other humanoid species out there I'd be amazed. In fact if you told me I was a 35 percent alien I'd say so what. Unless I can do something no one else can, it really doesn't matter. It just defines my physical form that's it. The being operating this body sees herself as just another humanoid entity. Or better yet a conscious entity having a human experience...
This tells you that race isn't the main priority. Acceptance is the main priority.
The only person I like and respect in this video is the mentally challenged dude...no, not the one that's crying.
Why can’t society be like science?
