- I took DNA tests from 23andMe and Ancestry.com to see how my results compared. I was SHOOK by what I found.
Did you guys enjoy this fun experiment type video? If so let me know by giving this a thumbs up and I will do more of them in the future :)

you should change your channel name to Brittney Vasseur
Btw, Cuba also has a lot of iberian peninsula heritage.
And potentially some African as well.
nich0lee well, yeah, but not necessarily
I'm just saying because her 23andMe results had some African.
nich0lee oh, yeah, that little african is from Cuba
Yeah, because Cuban is not an ethnicity it's a nationality. So it would never show up on a DNA result. Some Cubans are blonde haired blue-eyed of European extraction and others are completely of African extraction, furthermore some our middle Eastern
My results came in, turns out I'm half labrador half german shepherd
Eden Forest, Were you predicted to bark, bite of just growl a lot! Woof! Woof! :)
In other words, you eat out of the bin, but stop when someone tells you too
A mutt
I think you took the wrong test xD
My!!! That must've been rufff!
I wonder what would happen if you use a dog's saliva😶
OOFLALA BISH they do make these tests for cats and dogs🤣
You would have results of 100% dog. Every species has their own genetic code and each human has their own code that makes you, you.
You’d get it back saying 100% Somalian
That would be funny, what kind of form letter would you receive
I’ve got no doubt they are having to deal with smart arses sending in random DNA, huge price tag or not. They would probably have a suitably wisecracking report all ready to send back. If not, they should.
I'm adopted & did a test to learn about my DNA heritage, & also learned the identity of my birth father's family. That was shocking as I never expected the database to be large enough to find family members. Fortunately in my case it was a happy ending ..
Lori, which test did you use?
My aunt actually found her mom after 40 years because of ancestry DNA test! It’s been a blessing for our family this Mother’s Day!
Wow that’s amazing!
Wow! That's really awesome. You should try to contact the company or some channels here on youtube. Share the story. It would help and inspire a lot of people.
Thaliakitty wow, thanks for sharing.
But what if they would take other company dna test? Someone know do they share their databases between different companies? It's pity if not.
My husband, who is adopted, found both of his parents! He went from having 2 siblings to 10 🥰
It is difficult to guess the percentages in Europe. We Europeans are a mixture of Celts, Germans, Iberians, Nordics, Romans, etc. There are no countries in Europe by breed, you can find a Celtic gene in France, Spain, Ireland, Germany, etc.
Imagine the USA...
@@MrMethadrine da great melting pot
Look up Haplotalk on CZcams. There are a lot of videos that explain all of that.
Thank you..Ancestry said I was 100% Celt..of course,yes..Celts got everywhere😁my Mother is Irish but found out who my Father is..his family had German Jewish surname,came from Europe and East Europe 🤔food for thought!
You forgot the Slavs the biggest caucasian group in Europe......
I identify greatly with my roots, after getting my tests results I was shocked and confused to find out I was a Honda Civic.
Kon'nichiwa
Wow I hot buzzlight year in mine dna test
😂😂
To bad the accords and pilots are better 😂
Maybe that was just their way of saying you're Japanese.
You do know that Cuba was originally settled by the Spanish yes?
So was Mexico and South America.
not originally
Will Rickerson Indians are from India. I think the word your looking for is indigenous.
*Colonized.
Cuba was colonized by the Spanish 500 years ago.
It’s amazing how ignorant this woman is and expects to be ethnically Cuban, when she’s pale as fuck.
Fearless and the Portuguese
Brittany can I just say VasseurBeauty is still incredible fitting - your channel is indeed all about beauty - inspiring people to make their life more beautiful in every area, not only all outside areas (physical/material things) and making things simpler to have more time for the beauty in life but also your family, the people and the way you interact with each other is so precious and beautiful, it is very inspiring to watch. YOU are beautiful inside and out and this is what you carry out into the world, I love the name still, I‘m glad you didn’t change it! 😘
Much love from Cologne, Germany ♥️
Vio Lectra this comment is so positive and BEAUTIFUL, honestly. Probably one of the sweetest comments I’ve seen in a while in the CZcams comments section. And I 100% agree that her channel is about different kinds of beauty
So beautifully said!
♥️🙏
People in the comments are claiming she is sub Saharan African because she has heritage in Northern Africa. You people do realise Europeans have ruled North Africa off and on through out the ages right?
August Von Mackensen also people do realize that SUB Sahara is “black” Africa, not northern lol
Lol
Exactly as kalinka says......And it said she is 0.1% NORTH AFRICAN. So they are listed differently......
Europe colonized North Africa. But we are still African. I know that cause I’m Algerian. And when I did the DNA test it’s says that I’m mostly from Africa and a little bit from Spain and Italy.
@@cookies-mh9th Incorrect. Europe never "colonized" North Africa -- we were always there; North Africa WAS Europe. It wasn't until your people, the Muslims, began conquering that any "colonization" took place.
So... Your dad is of German descent???
You might want to talk to your mom about those results then... 🤔😅😀
lol
:))
Let me guess?
Because her dad was a German, that he was a Nazi, right?
Come on, spit it out? 😆
Bad news!!!
Adolph was also half Jew! 😱
@@YaHKaB_WaRYaL_YaSHaRaL because she got majority Italian...
@@Daisy-Doo the mail man was italian???
Could it possibly be that your Cuban relatives first came to Cuba with the Spanish colonizers? That would explain the Iberic part. It could also be that many of your Cuban family members first came to Cuba through Italian inmigrations? I have no idea if foreign inmigration was a part of Cuban history but it is in a lot of latin american countries, and Italians and other european citizens were amongst them. Love you!
Sof vxm gosh I love your thinking!!! This is why I love history
KJ Gulyban 😊 It makes us more prepared for the future
There were a lot of European immigrants that went to Cuba, for like hundreds of years. So that's why there are many white Cubans. Italians were just some of the many Europeans that settled there.
Pellegrino Aqua that's what I imagined. I'm from Argentina and Italian inmigration was massive over here
Cuba and the other Carribean territories and countries have almost no indigenous American people inhabitants due to the Spanish and British bringing in diseases which killed nearly all of them!
The Carribean genocide was much more fatal than the North American genocide.
Cubans are mostly white, of Spanish descent. That's your Iberian part.
Ephy says who?
Lola Joselin history says so
Her North African percentage is also part of the Cuban ancestry. Most DNA services have difficulty discerning between Iberia and North Africa, which makes complete sense historically.
Ephy Cubans are mostly black
@@spacejaime Correct. I'm not confused about this. Her 23andMe result says she has North African influence, which is typical for Iberians due to the close geographic and historical ties. I don't think we disagree on this?
French and German could easily be folded into Great Britain. There was significant genetic flow in historical times. So, just put those together and it is consistent, methinks.
John Robinson yes i do agree because I am French from centuries with German grand mà and have zero of each one all showed up English . Only my Iberian side showed up . Western Europe is too much melted to my advice or of similar dna with Britain because most my French friend doing tests all have British strong percentages too and we are really wondering how ! Lol
@RogerPierre British isles and Britain are different, Ireland is in the British isles but it’s not in Britain so they aren’t British
@@nicopooh34 I’m no scientist, but I wonder if the reason the French and other Western European results are showing up British is because there are more British people submitting their DNA to these companies so that’s the pool of data they have to draw from.
The reason I say this is because I recall articles saying most Native American DNA comes from Central and South America rather than the tribes in the United States because the tribes don’t submit their DNA very much so there is very little data to compare. I may be misremembering but that is something I recall reading a few years ago.
She litterally has a french name
I just received my result. Turns out I'm 61% sloth. Never been the same since.

Hang in there 😉
Usha Reddy ?
I am too...see ya at the reunion if I make it out of my tree in time....starting NOW
@@gigyoung1983 61% sloth not bad. Say, two-toed and three-toed sloth. You'll get there faster if you'd swim, you might be better at it. Ha!
Cubans ancestry is pretty much the Iberian peninsula. I'm Cuban and I don't know any Cubans who are native americans. Most of them are Europeans or African-Cubans. The Iberian peninsula part would show your Cuban ancestry and not the native American part.
no Chinese DNA in there?
I'm 100% Portuguese and many of my DNA matches are from Cuba. Meaning, all 4 of their grandparents are pure Cuban. Portuguese and Spanish DNA is closely related, so not surprised.
Melissa De la Cruz Cuban ancestry is 90% black
Willie I recently finded out anout chinese people spreading their genes on Cuba :D :D :D cheap labor force and there you go :D
I went to school with a Del la Cruz. This is my favorite name. If I ever change my name, this is it.
I thought I should bring up the Neanderthal DNA, since you seem so shocked by it. Your Iberian DNA is the source of your Neanderthal DNA. 23andMe talks about this as well. Other proto-humans existed around the same time, including denisova hominin (aka, Denisovans) in Asia, so most people with South Asian DNA have "higher than average" Denisovan DNA. People from the Iberian peninsula are Spanish & Portuguese, but the Neanderthals that merged into that gene pool had a similar MC1R gene variant as Irish and Scottish people, giving them red hair and freckles. However, it's a slightly different gene variant of the same gene, and no modern humans with red hair got it from Neanderthals. However, because of Natural Selection, geneticists think that the gene mutation developed independently in two different parts of the world for the same reason.
Though popular culture often portrays Neanderthals as primitive and stupid, they actually had bigger brains than homo sapiens. They also are one of the few great-ape descended proto-humans that had hyoid bones developed properly to give them the ability of speech, just like homo sapiens. They were also more muscular.
It's also probably valid to bring up that your Cuban heritage can be tied to your Iberian DNA, since Cuba was a Spanish colony starting in the 16th Century. Most Latino people have Spanish DNA because of the history of conquest.
this is FASCINATING thank you!
Wow!! An amazing answer to an amazing video. . I want to do a DNA test but I want to know more first. I want to know which company to chose. I'll still wait a while to see if it's revealed a scam.
I hope it isn't. That would be so sad.
You could make a fortune with your knowledge. ...I'd love you to explain my results if I ever do it.
All the best 🌸
Carlos, yes this is true. Homo neanderthalensis only existed in Europe (mostly around the Iberian peninsula), so people who have no European ancestors (like Asian people that are not East-Asian, and people who are from Africa originally and never left and never had European ancestors in their line) will have 0% Neanderthal DNA. However, the average European has ~2% DNA, whereas people from the Iberian region (like Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, etc.) will have higher percentage.
Heather Morgan All humans that are not 100% African have Neanderthal DNA.
I disagree. The Neanderthal DNA is definitely southern Italy. The original population of much of Italy were the Etruscans, and as DNA anaysis has shown, the Etruscans had a very strong admixture of Neanderthal DNA.
I took Ancestry first then 23 & me. The 23 & me test was very different in the European mix (German and British Isles). But 3 weeks later, Ancestry updated their results and recalculated to something very close to what 23 & me had reported. Bottom line, they are learning all of the time and the Ancestry results from 3 yrs ago have gotten better and better. Plus, the results are consistent over time which suggest the test are valid. Just my experience.
Also, both 23 & me and Ancestry have correctly matched me with 1st and 2nd cousins that I had not spoken to in years.
Thanks, Brittany, for sharing your journey through comparative DNA analysis. I have often wondered, as i imagine many others also have, about the accuracy of these testing services. Thanks for your openness with us all.
Iberian Peninsula definitely matches your Cuban side given that it was Spanish territory. :) I’m Cuban-American and my ancestors trace back to Spaniards as well. So interesting! I just might bite the bullet and finally get mine done. Thank you for this video. 💛
80% of British DNA is IBERIAN from the original Iberan population that immigrated to Brittany about 12000 years ago from the Iberian Peninsula. The Celtic immigration (3500 years ago) and the Anglo-Saxon immigration (1500 years ago), although that had profound influences on culture and language, did not influence the basic British DNA strain.
I use Brittany to refer to the the group of Islands called Britannia, and not to French Bretagne.
@@rhdkabardian so if it says you have a % of Iberian what would the possible races be? So interested! I love this ish. Lol
The Basques are the only remnants of the Iberians in Western Europe. Except for the Basques, the Iberians were totally eliminated or assimilated by the Indo-Europeans. The Basques probably survived because they were located in the Pyrenees Mountains. Note that there are some geographical names left: the Iberian Peninsula (Spain and Portugal), and the area of Iberia in the Caucasus.
@@rhdkabardian
I'm not sure that is true: Neolithic farmers (from France) re-colonised Britain about 1000BC!
So the British are as much that as anything!
Your not really less than 1 percent Cuban, most Cubans are highly admixed with Iberian (Spain, Portugal), Southern Europe score due to the Spain and Italy gene flow some centuries ago, a lot of Cubans with Euro ancestry get a lot of their ancestry from those regions. Some Cubans have native ancestry obviously but not all and a lot of Cubans have African ancestry. Cuba is island of colonial history of people from three various worlds.
There used to be Native American living in Cuba prior Spanish invasion. The Island wasnt deserted before Colon
Yes! Thank you
Cuban as in Indigenous to Cuba
Having seen some other DNA reaction vids, I must say yours was a pleasant change.
Thanks for sharing.
What I would suggest, when one looks at the differences in those tests is, that the percentages are never completely accurate, but that isn't really important.What one can rely on, is the regions/countries, which all tests taken mention (even with different percentages shown). Those are the ones you really have in your DNA!
You understand Cuba was largely populated by Spanish and European immigrants after the natives died out from disease and war right? It shouldn’t be that shocking that you’re 10% Iberian.
MyNameIsJ3ff right lol
I thought Cubans had a higher European admixture
I’ve wanted to take these kind of DNA test for absolute ages and now I’m not entirely sure how to feel about them. Do we know what could cause the variation in results? Are the pools of data both companies have to compare your DNA to different? Hmmmm
One does mitochondrial DNA, the other does both paternal and maternal dna comparison.
Sheila Mitchell I am an adopted child and would love to know about my ethnicity a little more. Can you please explain wich company does what and whats the most accurate ? Thank you very much
People back in the day also migrated to find better living... following food "animals" ...So your family members were traveling and procreating around the world when they saw there where others types of beautiful people in the world.
*G* Me - the ones that VasseurBeauty is using are autosomal DNA tests. They're the most comprehensive. There are two other types of test available. The Y DNA test can only be taken by males and it traces the person's paternal ancestry (from father to father's father to father's father's father and so on). The mitochondrial DNA test can be taken by males and females and it traces the mother's mother's mother's etc. line. Ancestry possibly has a bigger DNA user database than 23 and me. Where it gets interesting, for the adoptee, is that it tells you which other users share your DNA. You can find close relatives and distant relatives. Most of the time it takes some extra research to figure out how you are related to another user but it could put you straight on the trail of cousins or even siblings. And you can, once you have enough fixed points of how your DNA matches are related to each other, triangulate your position relative to them. Then you are one your way to figuring out where you fit in the family tree that is starting to form.
Edit - I've just realised that was not what you were asking! They both do pretty comprehensive ethnicity reports. However, if you do one of these autosomal tests, there is a free site called Gedmatch where you can follow the instructions to upload your results to them and then you can get even more exotic readouts. They have several where your DNA is compared against fossil humans from around the world and across eons of time! They have ancient DNA comparisons also.
Thank you so much for the time you took to answer my question, that is so kind of you!
I’ve done AncestryDNA, and I really liked it. My results were completely unexpected, we thought I was at least 50% Italian and I was only 8% Italian!
It's not exactly accurate, you could be 50% Italian but since their only "estimating" your genealogy it could show up as 8% or none at all depending on their database
pretty much the only thing you can rely on is if it says you have ancestry in another continent, but the exact percentage of that as well is usually not accurate. I.e. if it says you're 1% African, then you definitely have African ancestry but they have no idea how much, it could be 1% or it could be 10%, if you did the test multiple times each year you'd get different results as their database changes and it's not an exact science
That was so interesting, Brittany! I think it would become more clear to you if you test both of your parents.
This is so interesting! I am shocked by how many reports you received. It would e interesting to compare the notes between your parents. Happy mothers day :)!
I think the biggest problem with these tests is what they do with the information rather than cloning an army. Would there ever big a situation whereby insurance companies could refuse cover due to potential genetic disease etc.
clarris44 oohhh very good point!!
It’s true!!! I love the kind nature of people and their innocence. They think that people and corporations would never have ulterior motives, because they (themselves) would never do that to other people. That’s the way things should work. However, not everyone thinks like you and many people function without any concern for others. Corporations are dying to get this info.
I believe there was a warning, on 23 & me, about additional tests and the impact on your insurance rates and coverage.
You totally look italian! You're beautiful btw. 💜 I had a surprise like yours about not even knowing half of your DNA is this one thing you never knew.. I got 34% italian which I expected but I got 45% irish/scottish/Welsh that I did not expect at all. I feel like everyone should get their test done 😁
Those Irish/Scottish/Welsh people get around.☺
Thank you for taking the time to do this
Ancestry always puts the AncestryDNA test kits on sale around all holidays. Shipping & handling is around $15-16. You can get the kits as low as $59. I did the 23andme test years ago and then the Ancestry one a couple of years ago. My results were similar. We forget that people traveled and moved to other countries, even back then. I'm adopted and mixed, so I was happy it showed by genetic backgrounds. It's pretty cool! Plus, I located two sisters on my biological father's side. I'm the family genealogist for both my adopted and biological families. Take the health reports cautiously, as they originally were told by the FDA they couldn't offer them anymore because there was no empirical data. For example, I have a 24% greater risk of developing macular degeneration. After speaking with my retina specialist, he told me based on my history and condition I did not have the greater risk.
Pamela Flynn Never their shipping and handling that high. Mine was 9.95 must depend where you live.
It's been awhile so maybe they've lowered it.
Yeah the medical / health side is not accurate at all.
I remember watching your videos when you had 13k subscribers and now look at you :') I'm so proud even though I don't know you personally! You are a great inspiration
I only did Ancestry and they updated my results within a month, and the results were quite different! It was kind of like having two companies analyze my DNA, as not only did the percentages change, but the categories became more specific. Wish I could post pics of the original and follow up, but you can't post pics here. I won't bore you with the details of my ethnicity, but the update was more focused on the middle and north of Europe spanning east and west, than the original, which included some outskirts of Europe (Scandinavia, Caucasus, and Iberia), all which were eliminated in the update. I went from 99.5% European to 100% European! They also focused deeply on my highest percentage, which was Eastern European changed to Eastern Europe and Russia, and zoomed in on DNA from a specific part of Poland, which my dad's parents definitely were from! Sorry if this reply is confusing and wordy. BTW, I got it on sale for $59.99!
It's so funny to watch Americans taking these tests.
Why?
tattogirl89hc Americans don’t know geography very well. She said her Native American would be her Cuban side but it would be Iberian peninsula part actually.
AdaylnTheLifeOf cause everyone of Latin America is of Spaniard decent??
Panzer Tank I did not say that, I was talking specifically about Cuba not of the entirety of South America. Most Cubans originated from the Iberian peninsula (ie Spain and Portugal). The Native American population was largely wiped out.
AdaylnTheLifeOf why did you say South America as a term for the entirety of Latin America? It bothers me so much when people say that like they forget about the other regions in the American Continent.
I used MyHeritage and my family was pretty spot on about where we came from. My dad though swore Italian because he loves Roman culture but no, not a drop. I'm 92% English which is a pretty huge amount.
I just did my DNA a few weeks ago. I did get them when it was on sale. I was surprised by the results but happy. I chose 23 and me! I didn’t have any issues and was notified by email.
Pretty awesome results, waiting for my ancestry dna results!
I'm an Ashkenazi Jew and laughed along with you! :) Good job on the pronunciation too :)
This was such a nice video to watch!! love it
Hey girl! I actually work for a retina specialists doctors office & we treat a lot of people with age related macular degeneration! Very interesting that 23&me detects people who are at risk for macular degeneration!
Caitlyn Enlow I did not know macular degeneration was treatable. Does it have to be caught in the early stages?
Hollylovesbeauty7 when people have active macular degeneration it means there is fluid & can be treated with injections into the eye to try to dry it up.
Hollylovesbeauty7 it's better if you catch it in the early stage & easier to treat
You know, if one of your parent has 0% Italian and you got 50%, that means that the other one has close to 100%...
wrong!
@@anotherdave5107 why would it b wrong?
My mother bought ancestry DNA for $199. She ended up getting everything but the DNA sample what she was waiting for to send , so I’m glad yours worked out
Happy mothers day Brittney!!❤❤
I've seen that you were little bit confused regarding your Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry, so I'll try to explain it as best as I can. Both of the results were kind of right. The thing is that while migrating from Israel, they passed through Anatolia (Turkey), Balkans, Eastern Europe and Germany. Some of them stayed in those places and some of them continued migrating and searching for better life conditions. So if you sum up the percentages from Balkans, Eastern Europe and Ashkenazi Jewish from 23andme, you'll be close to the 7% that are in Ancestry results. Even though Jewish religion prohibits mixing with other religions and ethnicities, it's obvious that people were always just a people and mixed with whoever their eyes and hearts choose and not what their religious "morals" told them to. So, you can proudly say to your Jewish friends that you are 6-7% Jewish :)
Your entire post is rubbish. Jewish/Hebrew is ethnic. The Palestinians never owned 'the land of cannon' ect..ect...but complete rubbish, not at all factual on any point.
@@canaannoah4712 Yup, you are right, *the ashkenazis are not jewdish* , they are white eastern europeans who converted to judaism in the XII century... The real jewdish race is the semitic, like the shephardi (spanish) wich come from the phoenician/carthaginians branch/heritage.
The real jewdish has more to do with the mediterranean peoples than those redhead imposters.
@@antediluvian9144 Balogny, Ashkenazi jews and Sephardic, have the DNA charge of fifth tire cousins, Ashkenazi have even a smaller gene pool, which made them slightly smarter and significantly more exposed to genetic diseases.
And above all there was constant documented letter exchange, since late roman period between jewish communities regarding theology, trade help requests
Thank you
Mama Gina GG 🤣 lol you don’t even know what you’re saying ! No evidence, no nothing , you just want to blab 😂
I did both of these as well and they matched pretty good also. It was fun!
I just got one and surprised to see you made a video on it! Awesome 👏
Enjoyed the different content! Definitely wanna try this one day
Just FYI if you haven't already researched it. Macular degeneration is an eye disease that typically occurs later in life. The next was the breast cancer gene. It's good to know those things and try to do something about it. In my family, my dad's mother got married a second time to a German man. He passed away when my dad was 3. His 3 kids looked for him and his grave and it was found outside the catholic cemetery fence! After my dad passed (he was a "Jr') my aunt told me it was because his last name was Reich. Obviously German. This would be interesting to do, if I ever have a few hundred dollars laying around! Great review!!
Thanks for the info. I now can watch the process of my DNA results. Very helpful
Very interesting results from the tests. As a result of your video, I am going to order the 23 & me kit. Thank you for producing the video which was filled with great information. Good luck with your site.
This is a good idea! I always wondered how true the results are. Lol
Happy Mother’s Day Mama! To all the mamas here! XO🌷
Now Im kinda tempted to do this even though I believe I know my ancestry pretty well, my mom’s a genealogist.
But who knows??
Mother Muse I think it will be even more interesting for you to do it to see how everything match... or not???? Let us know if you did and how it went ?
I am planning on doing it myself out of curiosity. 😊
hah, genealogist know the "formal" version, DNA tells the true story who made who :D LOL
Brittnany may I ask where to buy this beautifull silver picture in your backround? Im from europe and I really would like to find one here ;) Thank you, love watching your videos :)
I'm planning to take a DNA test but I'm mainly doing it cuz I want to find my long lost uncle. Which DNA test do you recommend?
English people are of ScandanavianGerman descent so sometimes it comes up as one or the other I've noticed that it's happens with me to I'm from England :)
Given that the angles Saxons and jutes were all from Germany before the English hired them to protect the country at the fall of the Rome and then were invaded by them it seems reasonable.
English are a Germanic people, descending from mostly Angles and Saxons. Not Scandinavian descendants as Scandinavians are a Germanic people too.
Nathan Tisdale shut up Ashley Tisdale
David C I was thinking that lol
Not Scandinavian haha :p
Scandinavians decended from German routs haha
That's a really interesting video you made comparing them!
I majored in genetics so I've always wanted to get it done but what always stops me is that most of our advances in genetics is thanks to the open-source sharing of data between researchers and countries but these companies take advantage of these open source data to develop their product to then sell the data they collect.
Another thing for Americans to consider is that GINA, the American genetic non-discrimination act that protects your genetic data doesn't include life insurances!
I got my results a couple weeks ago, and was disappointed that 91% of 23andMe customers had MORE Neanderthal than I do (my count is 250, which is low). BTW, I did AncestryDNA a year ago and just a month ago they updated my profile with new data they now have, and the results were pretty dramatic. So log back in and update your account to see your new results if you have not yet done so.
Just goes to show how unreliable they are then.
What? Are you disappointed for not being Neanderthal enough? Why? You need to be happy bro!
Mark Turner Actually, it shows that they are reliable. The more people who supply DNA, the more accurate everyone’s results will get. When it first started, they didn’t know where all DNA came from (they still don’t), which gave regional estimates. As the years went by and more people provided samples, those estimates got narrower to the point where you had more defined results.
Wow. I wonder if this happens to everyone. I did Ancestry and the results seemed "off"... but I didn't pursue anything. THEN, a month later they sent me an email with "more" results and those were more accurate to the info I am aware of. I think I got ripped off.
Update: They later reversed what they said and now I have more Neanderthal DNA than 95% of their customers. Go figure.
yessss , i was looking for a video like this 😍😂
I did the ancestry testing along with my sister, brother and both of our parents. Though each of our results differed to some extent, they were pretty much very similar. My siblings and I each had the same dna as both parents (obviously) but each took on more or less of each region. Ancestry is supposed to update results as time goes by and what I found interesting was that my mom started out being 15% Turkish and a year or two later we checked and that percentage had decreased quite a bit, so I'm not sure what to think about that. They say their science becomes more accurate over time. Keep us posted if you find out more info and what your thoughts are. It's all fascinating, but I agree it almost leaves you feeling like you have more questions about your heritage, than when you started. Love you and your videos!
Firstly I really love your channel and am a big fan but by profession I am a geneticist and I just had to put it out there, nobody would bother breaking in into some company to steal your DNA, your nail or simply hair is enough for that army you mentioned :D
P.S. I love that book! Curious what you think about the company that offers carrier status results? What if there’s a false negative and two people actually carry a recessive trait for CF, PKU, and others? I wouldn’t want people relying on these type mail order companies but rather going through genetic counseling through their health care providers for something so important. Thoughts?
Marlene P I agree, back when I was still a student I remember 23andme was actually closed because of the panic it created as people didn't understand how to interpret their health results. In general such tests should not be available to public, people who worry about predisposition or being a carrier should go to specialists instead as you already mentioned
For me, as someone who studied biochemistry and doesn't know part of her ancestry/both parents, I'm very interested in the health results. I eventually want to get full tests before I have children but at 26, it's just not practical to go through full genetic counseling and the results might give me something to go off of (i.e., my little brother has celiac's, do I have a mutation that's just not giving me as much trouble, but I'd feel better if I switched up my diet?)
Hi ! I want to thank you for doing what I could not afford to do; testing out BOTH of the most popular tests! I was wanting your opinion ,on your preference . Do you feel that one test was easier than the other ? More reliable , or believable ( I am also VERY SKEPTICAL person !!) I’m really on the fence, at first I only was trying to figure out my heritage ( I was adopted and so was my father , so I have no way of knowing what the other 50% of me are. I also want to know about my future health ( due to my younger brother having great cancer ) and if I have any mutated genes that I can pass on my my daughters or son. Thanks For taking the time to read my comment
Thank you for sharing. It is quite interesting to see how they are so close and similar yet have their differences as well.
Thanks for doing this! I've been looking for a good comparison between the two. My mom is finally getting her adoption records from the 60s unsealed and we are prepared with so many questions!
I did the ancestry dna test and it said I was 94% Scandinavian..which is pretty darn close since both my parents are from Iceland. I was surprised because I thought there would be more of a mix of places.
Not for Scandanavia as I have always read that these countries races have, for the most part remained pure for eons.
Just seeing your face I was like she’s Italian ! 😂
To me she doesn’t she looks more French. You can even tell by her name
As an italian I disagree, she looks more french or british
I thought she was Ukrainian or russian
@Barry Lab not really.. I would not have guessed she was half italian..
I thought she was Polish lol
So it is possible on ancestry they include eastern europe in the european jewish category? However that will still be a bit of a disparity so idk which site is more acurrate. Kinda throws me off cause I did a dna test (on a diff site than these two) and idk how accurate it is...
Americans are always saying they know they're from somewhere in Latin America and then do these tests and are like "wow where is it on my map". In this case she counted the Native American as her "Cuban", like... oh no. There is no such thing as a latin race, we're simply mixed people, so apparently your family that lived in Cuba were white. That's it. The Americas were colonized just like the USA, the only different thing is that we didn't have any type of racial segregation. You wouldn't expect the results to show "x% american from y state", so how can one expect to see any other country of the Americas in there?
Also, she probably missed her "Cuban side" in there and acted surprised because maybe she didn't understand it, but let me give you a tip: it's the Iberian percentage.
Latin is the same as Native American. Native Americans are Latin only Native Americans exist in the boundaries of the U.S whereas Latin exist outside those boundaries.
Alatar Incorrect on all counts. Jesus Christ. Lol. Latin is not a race nor does it denote Native American.
"the only different thing is that we didn't have any type of racial segregation." That's a laugh, Central and particularly South America were and are totally divided between races and classes, with the notable exception of Brazil.
Patriot Jefferson Much Americans/United States -Do not know the difference between Hispanic and Latino but they are not the same and they would be loss for words to find out that Haiti is a Latino country,part of Latin America.
Eduarda Gomes Cubans did indeed have racial segregation!!!!! My family is Cuban and yes white Cubans practiced racism for more than 100 years!!!!!
Happy Mother's Day!! ❤
That's so funny, the last few weeks I've been watching your videos, I was wondering if you had any italian in you because for some reason (don't ask me why) I was getting very strong Italian vibes 😂🤷♀️
Looks nothing italian bud
I'm not really surprised about the Italian, you look it to me!
I did both....still waiting on my ancestry results. One major surprise was that I'm not as Hispanic as I thought we were🤷🏻♀️. Which led me to start researching my family tree. I have been able to trace back to my 4th G-grandparents on both sides. It was neat to see pics of these people, including grave stones & census records. I found one where my Dad was just 1 years old. He just passed away in March, and it helped me with my grief. I would recommend ancestry if your interested in doing a tree & 23 & Me if you have health issues. Great video!👍🏼😃
Diana Briggs instead of Mexican did your results come back with more Native American?
Josephine Jacobs actually more Italian....like a lot more 🤔 Which made my Mom do her DNA😂. Come to find out she’s more than half Italian, 17% Native American & the rest Mexican. She’s still scratching her head😁.
Stop saying Hispanic like it's an ethnicity, it's called Native American
ENZOxDV9 My mom grew up in a “Hispanic/Mexican/Latino” home. Just found out that she is more Italian & Native American last month. What seems to be your problem with what I said? Hispanic & Native American are 2 different things.
Diana Briggs hispanic is anyone from a spanish speaking country and we're talking about ethnicity not language so hispanic is not the right word to use
I have had two dna tests come back so far and they are pretty similar just one had over 9% of north african which was shocking since neither of my parents had that on their dna lol. But I'm now waiting for my third test from ancestry where i have a large amount of family tree work done. I think the health one would make me nervous.
Andrea Home & Life Can you make a video about it, it would be interesting
Berika • when I get my ancestry yes I can and will. I think I have to wait another or so for results still 😊
Andrea Home & Life did they have more Iberian or DNA from a Spanish speaking country?
Sharon B yes! My mom is over 20% Spanish
I appreciate the creativity in this
Did you ever get results ineffective? I keep getting that when I take the 23 and me results
Happy mother's day 😊💞
Congratulations to the winners! Happy Mothers Day! :)
Rhonda Zumbaum who won
Yeah who won?
Rhonda Zumbaum thank u
I like those pretty little lights on your headboard . Never think of things like that myself.
This is super cool! I have always wanted to do the 23 & me w/ health... although I am worried, since we have MANY health conditions in my family. So cool to see though! Thanks for the video.
Oh, and FYI to anyone interested - on Prime Day Amazon had it for half off - $99 for the 23 & me w/ the health! So, be on the lookout next year for that special deal.
I had dramatically different results between the two also - 23 & me said I was 0.2% Scandinavian but Ancestry said I was 30% Scandinavian!! My understanding is the Ancestry is more accurate given a bigger database of people and twin testing!
Sarah Dunn wow that’s a big difference
They are all bs
@@GoldenBoyDims Really?
I feel like it wasn't that bad, part of what I'm studying in college is about dna and genetics, and it's so complex that it's hard to be exact when it comes to finding out what parts of your dna come from where on the planet. A lot of parts of the human genome we don't even know what it's for... To manage to find where it comes from you need a huge data base and not all regions have the same amount of dna information. Also people who compare with parents for example can have different results because yes you get 50% dna from a parent but the way it splits doesn't make it an equal split most of the time. Anyway I am amazed to see how far we've come, in the early 2000's I believe it took months and a looot of money to be able to have the first entire human genome to be translated to a database. And now we do dna ancestry tests like it's no big deal haha. I think they ask for too much money for what it is but if you want to spend the money I still think it's pretty cool and shouldn't be taken too seriously, it's not an exact science :)
How do you send your DNA spit ? So that you can see it on the computer where do send them too?
Thank you for doing this!
clone armies keep me up at night too tbh, not even joking
Thanks for doing this ... my opinion is it wasn’t too off and it is always important to know who you are so infact think this video made me want to do my dna test even more because origin is who you are and since we have such good technology why not use it for our benefit ? Yes it might be skeptical sending off ur dna to a company but that is their job to collect data and try to match it up with other similar and compare their results not only that but the more data they have in their system (by how many take the tests) the more and more accurate it will be in the future
I agree with you but I am also afraid because they could make clons of our DNA. Someones says that nothing is gona happen because of their strict policy but I am still scared.
I liked it. I thought it was good. I've been thinking of doing a DNA test but was feeling a bit dubious about them. This shows some relative consistency between the tests which makes me believe that they are somewhat reliable.....
How many different types of anti-depressants do you take ?
Very interesting video. There are SO many ancestry videos popping up and I'm one of those who could care less about them but I am however interested in the validity of the test itself (I can't be the only one who's kinda thinking WTH science can tell you a person's .3% whatever but it can't cure cancer?!?) ,so this was a very cool idea imo.
Cuba is part of where? Love how she went right on by the African bit. Sorry, it doesnt make it disappear.😩
It would be very interesting to see why some of the results are so different. Thank you very much for sharing. It gives us a more informed starting point.
I recently did mine through 23andMe and was also quite surprised. I’ve since uploaded my raw data to a few other sites (for free) and the results make a little more sense. Most surprising, it’s very possible my mother’s father, who I searched for for decades and finally found, may not be her father after all. He’s Lebanese and I’m still trying to figure out exactly how that would register on these tests. (Any insights are appreciated!) The health section pointed out something life changing, however, and I have 88% less Neanderthal than the other 23andMe clients.
Middle eastern
Overall, these companies NEVER give an accurate representation. Please keep this in mind. Humans are all mixed and no ethnic groups are homogeneous. Trying to isolate British genes for example, is like trying to isolate “Canadian” or better yet, “United States” genes. Brits are an amalgamation of Normans, Germanic people, French, Scandinavian, Angles, Saxons, Celts and more. These tests are ok, but I suspect never more than 40% accurate. But what is accurate? There are no pure ancestries.
I agree!!!
Yeah, these companies further the confusion between nationality and ethnicity. Also, certain traits can be explained by geography and history. Also also, people really don't know geography.
@@gracenagel Well that's exactly what race is. Regional and ethnic mate-selection bottlenecking. They base 'racial' makeup on unique genetic markers that first emerged in a specific region.
The only thing that is accurate with these tests is the price. :-)
See Min Lim The British are essentially descended from 'the beaker people' who came from the Ukraine vicinity thousands of years ago and introduced pottery, hence the name, apparently. But there are of course a few other influences along the way.
Everyone I know got an email when their results came in. Maybe yours went into a spam folder?
Hi! This was very interesting to see the difference between the tests! Did you use the exact same saliva sample?
I’ve heard after you do the tests, go and recheck the websites and they’ll have another update on your history. I don’t know how long you should wait.
You're 3% North African...didn't wanna mention that one hunh? Skipped right over it. lol
KINGVILLAOFDAE That’s not accurate either. North African are a mix of Berber and Arabs and some European or Turkish influence.
Js M It's not about the DNA of modern northern Africans lol
I would that's disgusting
yes we all come from the motherland...and those of us who come from interbreeding HSapeiens and Neanderthals will have both.
She was soooo proud to be Jewish though
You should take another test from the same company and see if they are diffrent
You kept this video interesting; nicely done, thank you.
"yeaah, i have a jewish part, and forget my african part"
Because she was less than 1 percent.
