You inherit a random 50% of your parents DNA. it is therefore possible you got more of the European ancestry from each of them than you expect.

Exactly….people forget they two parents can be mixed .

They are not telling you you have wavy hair or stretch marks. That’s not how percentages work. They are saying that someone with your genetic make up is likely to. 😅
I just kept my comments to myself… 😂
And then.. Why on earth,
would she be so delusional
at 25, to think that she'll Neva
in her life~get a stretch mark?
😳🤦🏽♀️ It's pretty common..🤷🏽♀️
Black Americans/ Black Jamaicans are more than likely not 100% African. We normally have admixture from generations ago, and just been swapping admixtures for centuries now.
Thanks for sharing!
I watched a Ancestry DNA test by a woman whose parents are from Jamaica and she is 100% African.
@@rosahacketts1668 she would be in the minority who doesn't have admixture outside of Africa.
@@rosahacketts1668 90% of African Americans are at least 1% European and that would be about the same ratio for Jamaicans. Why do Non-African “blacks” think they are 100% African? Ignorance on an epic scale.
@@socrates5135 Shut up. Most black Americans had their roots STOLEN AND TAINTED. We can identify how we want. We don’t need your approval.
@@creex7118 this is so true
It's likely that the black ancestors who you assume are 100% black aren't really 100% black.
That’s right.
exactly!
Yep
Exactly
Sadly the source of confusion for the vast majority of black folks including those of mixed ethnicity identifying as black, regardless of the nationality, is they still continue to use a pseudo ethnic science from a by-gone era to determine race. A pseudo science, not based in genetics science but rather racism, which taught if you have as little as 1% black blood that makes you are black. A myth that has been debunked several times over but still perpetuated within the black communities.
What I would suggest is that you get both your parents to do a DNA tests, that way you have more information to compare. When I did my DNA test my results were almost useless until I got my sister and brother to complete DNA tests. That is how I found out I was adopted...so be ready when you go down this rabbit hole.
Woah
It might be wavy when longer. Hair texture changes with weight/length
Your percentage reported is typical for children of one bi-racial parent and a full black parent. In most cases the black parent is not fully black. The range can vary by an estimate of let’s say 55% white n 45% black to maybe 32% white n 68% black give or take. This is my opinion of course.
Yea! That makes sense bc my maternal grandma is lightskin so I figured someone had to be European down the line but I didn’t think it was as much as it was
Thanks for the insight 💕
That is about right. My grandmother is biracial and my mother's Ancestry showed 60% black, 40% white....but then mine (on Ancestry and My Heritage) showed 60% black 39% white 1% native on Ancestry. My heritage showed 55.5% black, 37.2% white, 4.3% West Asian and 3% Andean.
America was a colony of Britain so was Jamaica.
Average for AAs is about 80 something percent or between 70 and 90 something percent African
Dna is so complex we get a little of something from everybody.
Your mother might unknowingly have an Irish or English ancestor, since many did relocate to Jamaica. Research your mother's surname. Remember, that African Americans are around 20% European on average too. Maybe the black people in your family carry more recessive European genes. There are many possibilities.
If your dad's father is american, he most likely has european ancestry, same with your Jamaican forebears. Even in your dad's mum lineage there could be some African. Science boo!😘
Your father is most likely predominantly European if his mother is white and his father is black and from america. I myself have an African American parent and an Irish parent (from Ireland as in born and raised there, not Irish American) and I'm 61% European (mainly Irish), and 38% African. It would be interesting to get your parents to do their own DNA tests, and see how they match up
She said her mother was half black and white not her father. Pay attention
@@Crystallight11_11 No she didn't. She stated that her 'mother is Jamaican, fully black and that her dad is half white half black'. It appears YOU are the one that needs to pay attention. Ironic that you'd attempt to correct me though isn't it? (1 minute into the video she states this. Next time you decide to correct someone on CZcams maybe decide to rewatch the video for a second time, since paying attention is something you've proven not to excel in :D )
@@michaelmichael8314 Not a super expert when it comes with DNA anything is possible, but her mom being "100%" black and her father being half white half black she should've come back with at least a 25% white wouldn't you agree? As she even mentioned she was a bit confused as to why it came back so even.
@@Crystallight11_11 no she said her father was
Agree. African Americans and Black Jamaicans are rarely 100% African. It's estimated that African Americans have 10-20% non African DNA. As a person who has one Black parent from Jamaica and one African American parent, I'm not surprised that her DNA is only 50%-50%
When you gave the example about New York to Houston to describe parishes you were correct. My granny, God rest the dead, made that analogy for Guyana. I thought my family was from one place and she explained people move like from Connecticut to DC.
Nice video! I'm assuming with most of these companies, their readings are based on how many people have tested with these make ups.
last year 23andme did an update and out of nowhere, they gave me Jamaican, from the same parish as yours.
Also I forgot to mention the deal with traits aren’t telling you, your traits their just saying what someone with your dna would and could have but not what you in particular have
Also which 🧬 genes are expressed in you as an individual differ from which genes 🧬 would be expressed in another member of your family…even with the same parents…these tests don’t actually tell where you’re from…they associate specific genes with groups of people which are generally associated with groups of people over time…but different genes express in different individuals…so you may express more European genes than a brother or sister of yours because of how your mom or dad’s genes divided up during meiosis of the sex cells that produced you…you inherit from not just your parents but all the way down your line to mitochondrial eve…the first person that we all share genes with…so yes, there will always be some surprises…
I think the percentages make sense considering ur skin tone, people in Africa who have only or mainly African DNA are super dark skinned.
There are a good number of sub Saharan Africans with her skin tone and no European DNA whatsoever.
Most people that descend from enslaved people have white ancestors. So if all 3 of your Black grandparents have white ancestors that would show up in your ethnicity results.
I’m just seeing this video. I know my comment is soo late 😅 but I wanted to add that besides just random genes coming together from both your mom and dad, and acknowledging that your Jamaican mom may have some European ancestry in her, it’s important to note that it’s probably half African and half European because Black Americans tend to have a good percentage of European DNA as well. It’s also likely that it’s cut half and half like that because your grandmother has a very high percentage of European DNA and she’s not an ancestor. The closer in time someone is to you (concerning your relatives), the more likely you may have a very high percentage of that DNA in you.
My mom black Jamaican my dad white mines came up as 52% European 48% African and we are like the same skin tone but I used to be pale as a kid
You phenotypically represent your results. No surprise here.
Genetics are so interesting too me. I’m a dark skin haitian. Both of my parents are fully black yet I’m 71% African 27% white and 2% Native American (Taino)
As a Haitian, does your dna also say west bantu from either congo or ANgola?
@@Justafox305 yup I got 16% angola/Congo 30% Nigeria and Ghana

23andMe is the most accurate one.
You think so?
@@TwistedNewzTV Yes.
Yup, absolutely. 23andme has the most accurate results out of all these ancestry services.
I hate to see people use MyHeritage especially, they seem way off with their results.
@@23eourytbn82ancestrydna is actually more accurate. They have for testers and reference population groups. You're too emotionally invested in what you want to hear.
@@23eourytbn82No its not. Ancestrydna is more accurate due to having more testers and more reference population groups. Dont let your emotions override scientific certainty in the process.
You confused me more in this video, because the results didn’t say you had this or that it said there was a CHANCE you inherited that trait. Just helping you understand this more🤗👍🏾
Girl whatever your results say, you are drop-dead gorgeous! Get that cash girl, all the best with your projects xo
I received my dna result also. My dna shows I am 44% european which is high for Africian American. I started connect the dots regarding my families. There is a lot of secrets in the family, I am related to four different family european family. US have a lot have a lot of sins for what happens in the past regarding slavery.
Nobody today can pay for any sind
@@TG-ts3xn they didn’t mention that . Are you guilty
If its 40% its not from sin its from love. 40% indicates it waas far more recent and in greater number. The chances of that being all from Abuse is Zero
@@Sgt.chickensdisagree. Plenty of African Americans, especially those from small, insular communities, walking around with 40% euro DNA and no recent Euro family members.
@@ThatSuzanneSchmid no recent Europeans that they know about.
Your hair will probably be wavy if you grew it out to your shoulders or longer. Also, you'll know about the stretch marks once you have some kids or gain too much weight suddenly.
Yep. 23andme gives me a 75% chance of stretch marks. I didn’t have any when I first got my results, but a few months later, their prediction ended up coming true lol.
What is your confusion?
Well. With 23 and me they only use your mom side unless you had your dad take it with you and you linked the profiles. So all of that information is only from your moms side. It says it on the website. My mom and I did one and our results were 100% the same.
You half white girl
My hypothesis is that most of your European ancestry was from a male line of Europeans which makes sense if you understand the African females plight during the Trans-Atlantic slave trade & most of your African roots were provided by a female of African descent which could have also been mixed with European. If your European ancestry were more French, Italian or Spanish rather than English, I would say that you could be Creole to an extent
They didn't state that you have wavy hair & stretch-marks. They merely gave you some odds of having such based upon what they thought at the time your DNA mix would likely yield.
They weren't completely wrong - they weren't even partially wrong for the information that they had at that time,* because they were only talking about chances (& you merely "beat the odds" on some of the catagories).
* = Some information is based upon customer feedback. Initially some DNA testing was done on military recruits where they were observed by the test administrators.
Dang your results are almost IDENTICAL to mine! Mine are 51.4% Sub-Saharan African, 46.7% European & 1.6% Indigenous (Central American). I’m Louisiana Creole & and a little Nicaraguan so my European is mostly French & Spanish/Southern Europe but that’s still crazy! Great video 👍🏼
🇳🇮
@@callmedani4 🙌🏼🙌🏼🇳🇮🇳🇮
Some exercise could cause stretch marks or even if you get pregnant.
The traits aren’t worth it. I was hoping the traits would talk about height, or something like that. And We actually got very very very similar traits results. Mine also had 43 percent chance of wavy hair but my hair is very curly lol. I would wave those off as noise. Also, it’s highly likely with your father being biracial, that one of his black parents wasn’t fully black. And with your other black parent, they probably weren’t fully black either, having some diverse ancestry. Most black Americans aren’t fully black and Jamaicans also tend to have diverse back grounds
It's very accurate
What could explain the result is daughters of sons get more DNA from their paternal grandmother because she passes down the X unchanged to the daughter from the son. You can inherit up to 35% from a grandparent and as low as 17% from a grandparent. 23 and me count the X chromosome in the results.
The son gets a X chromosome from his mother and a Y chromosome from his father. Meaning 50% of his X is from the maternal grandfather and 50% from the maternal grandmother. So 50% is from the maternal greatgrandmother, 25% from the other maternal greatgrandmother and 25% the maternal greatgrandfather. There are charts online which show you which ancestor gave you which percentage of the X chromosome. Thats why most DNA companies exclude the X chromosome.
You inherit 50% randomly from each parent, so if one parent is full black and one is full white, you are guaranteed to be half and half. But, if each parent is half and half already, because it's random you could get just the African, or just the European from each parent. Because it's random, you will average 1/4 mom's European, 1/4 mom's African, 1/4 dad's European, 1/4 dad's African to be 100% you. But that's just averages, it is possible two half and half parents could make a full European or full African child, though these extremes would be extraordinarily rare.
Anyway, that's where the weird numbers come from.
I’m around 75% African, and I have to go back 4 generations to find a monoracial ancestor who wasn’t black.
Because your Jamaican parent is also mixed loll the Caribbean is very mixed
Some the Scottish n irish who cromwell sent to Caribbean were dark n brown skin ppl ... bt british
No such thing as a dark / brown skinned Scots & irish person What you've been smoking ?
You're results are pretty similar to my dad, he is around half black half white with a mixed race mom (she is Louisiana creole) and black dad (idk where exactly he was from)
If your Dad's Dad is pure black wouldn't that make your dad more than 50% black. ?
@@jeffreykaufmann2867 honestly idk but my dad took a dna test and he got 50% African and 50% European so maybe his dad was mixed too
@@Kk-mp5mx There was a law in the South that stated if a person was 1/32nd black that person would be classified as White. Anything more than 1/32nd that person would be black. Great Great Great Grandparent =1/32.
@@jeffreykaufmann2867almost no african descent people in america are 100% african. So he likely was mostly black with some mixture
@@Sgt.chickens is that because the Slavemaster or the Son of the slavemaster was having Sex with the slaves?
I think it depends how your parents genetics get shared to you. Excuse my other comment it’s more of a history lesson lmfao. But I think like twins for example could have a couple percentages off from each other (maybe). Or even siblings will probably most likely have different shares. Like me, My mom is Mexican, and my dad is Croatian, even tho his parents are from Europe. Im 35 percent Croatian, but all together I’m 82 percent European while the other part being 16 percent Native American which is probably Mexican parts and 1 percent Africa lol. And another weird thing is I’m 29 percent Spanish I think but literally this ancestor is from like over 150 years or over 200 years ago and my Croatian is literally 72 years ago but it’s close percentage
It is true that some mixing came from raping of slaves, but all of it did not. Some of that mingling was consensual. There is a whole lot of mixing now, and I haven't heard of any rapes lately.
It wasn't consensual if she didn't have body autonomy.
You have the genetic markers for these traits not necessarily you actually have them, a child could inherit them from you.
I’ve been thinking about trying ancestry but I’m like what if I get random ass results lol smh
You said your mum is Black Jamaican and your dad is 1/2 White Irish and 1/2 Black American. Jamaicans are mostly Sub Saharan Africans whereas African Americans are around 60~90% Sub Saharan Africans.
I think what caused you to have these results are due to Jamaicans and Black American not having the full Sub Saharan African genes due to slavery, hence having bits of European blood. So you probably inherited the huge chunk of those genes.
I feel like black people aren’t really mix cause if we where then our dna wouldn’t be soo high in African like 60-90% and our hair type would be more towards the European side being at least curly hair. But I wish I was Japanese💀💀
The hair thing is telling you that 40 percent of the people with your mixture of genetics would likely have wavy hair. It is not saying that your own hair is 40 percent wavy.
It’s obvious your mom is not “fully black”. Genetic inheritance is random but to have an almost fifty-fifty split would require both of your parents to be significantly admixed with each having African and European ancestors at an about fifty-fifty ratio.
You are 100 💯 Gorgeous ❤❤❤😊😊
you are mixed thats simply it theres no confusion
I'm confuse now too🤔😐😏
Features and hair texture have nothing to do With race like color Blue is not relative to Water
@ INDIGENOUS VLOGZ It would be better (nice) if you could explain what you mean by physical features, hair texture, and color of skin (color) may not have nothing to do with race!
Obviously this is not true. "Race" and physical attributes like skin color and hair texture are highly correlated. However, you can't tell a book by its cover. A light skin Black person may have very little to 0% non African DNA and a dark skin Black person may have 20-30% European DNA.
I'm not sure both my parents are full Blk but they each had one mixed parent so maybe it's from past ancestors just saying!
Pretty easy explanation.
Here it goes :
Most African Americans have about a quarter European. 15- 25 percent.
Thus your mum can have as much as 25% European.
Your dad being half African and half European would have not 50% European but closer to 60- 65%.
Thus your breakdown:
Dad : Europe 65 Africa 35
Mum: Europe 25 Africa 75
Yourself : Europe 45 Africa 55
Also inheritance is random so it’s likely you inherited more European than African genes.
Hope this helps.
This is why it's important to acknowledge that just because you look like you have a little bit of colour, it's not the same as being actually Black/African.
I said what I said.
The Sahara Desert stretches across much of the northern part of Africa. The entire area of Africa that's beyond this huge desert is what's known as Sub-Saharan Africa.
One or both of uour grandparents from one set of your grandparents might not have inherited all European DNA. Likewise your dad might not have inherited the maximum amount of European DNA that could have possibly been inherited.
As I understand it - if I understand it - each egg & each sperm cell only carries a fraction of a family line's full DNA possibilities - & not every egg carries the same, & not every sperm cell carries the same mix (nor the same purportions of any otherwise similar mix); so, there's many possibilities/chances that go into making each individual & this is why even syblings can differ quite a bit (or not).
You’re mom is more than 50% white trust me because most biracial people in America are more white because African American and Jamaicans are not 100% black
Tbh I don't trust the results fully, the default setting is at 50% confidence, find the tab that says DNA painting on a computer or laptop and there will be a percentages you can choose from, I'm Puerto Rican and my European went from 64.1% to 46.2%, Native American was pretty stable though 17.9%-16.4% as well as my African percentage went from 12.2-11% my biggest discrepancy in the percentage that dropped off was North African and west Asian which went from 4.3-1.4% meaning almost 70% of that region being in my final DNA results where basically a guesstimate aka made up lol. They said in their early years that it was more for entertainment and it still kind of is in my opinion although I do respect that they are able to tell who you're related to and able to somewhat accurately categories what you might be but it's definitely not to a T, I did the math on what I most likely am my self based on There certainty and just looked at how consistently by each 10% of how confident they are my percentages dropped and average them out with different mathematic equations and I came with a couple different percentages but they're all within the same ballpark and here's what I came to be in my opinion I'm anywhere from 51 to 58% European which averages out to 54.5% anywhere from 23 to 28% Native American which averages out to 25.5% anywhere from 15 to 19% African which averages out to 17% and lastly anywhere from 0.7 to 1.7% North African and West Asian which averages to about 1.2% which still leaves 2.8% to be unassigned but much better than when I clicked on their 90% confidence of what I am and I had 25% of my DNA unassigned meaning 25% of my DNA at 90% confidence was an absolute guess and at 100% confidence that would be at over 30% if the unassigned kept being consistent this is on 23 and me by the way I don't know about ancestry although I do know at the end of the day this is business and I'm pretty sure these companies need to be somewhat consistent with each other in terms of their percentages or else there will be way too much speculation to go around if their percentages were way different that would leave they're most likely guesstimated results to be of less value and instead of trying to expose each other they would rather beat each other in terms of marketing I do believe that the percentages that I calculated were probably more accurate because when I looked at the physical traits category my traits were off as well I have what they would call big and small curls a combination of both and it said that I had a 7% chance of big curls and a 3% chance a small curls when my highest percentage was around 40% for wavy hair that's mostly straight when no one in my family has that hair texture the least course hair texture they have they have is wavy hair with some curls for the most part most of my family has very curly hair naturally unless due to age and hormone changes many of the older people in my family have had their hair become more straight but they did have curly afros when they were younger along with other physical traits that I thought were off I'm glad to see someone had the same type of reaction that I did and knew something was off and unfortunately the majority accept anything that is labeled as science and don't question it because they believe that everything that is conducted in the name of science is honest when in reality even though there is a lot of Truth to the DNA testing a lot of it is also guess work and if they ever admitted that it would lower its value
These tests tend to be quite accurate when it comes to determining the percent European versus Sub Saharan African. The individual countries though are harder to pinpoint and may well change some as they refine the results in the future. Plus different DNA companies will vary. Obviously none of the modern African countries existed at the time of the slave trade so they are looking at people's tribal backgrounds and assigning the most probable country to it. In some ways it would be better to just tell people the historic tribes their DNA most closely matches. A lot of the same can be said for parts of Europe. Some countries saw so many migrations that its tough. The Middle East to North African is historically considered part of the Caucasian race although obviously mixing went on because the Arabs engaged in the slave trade even before the Europeans.
You’re a mixed race person so your trait percentages will reflect this. When you get a higher percentage of one trait or another, it doesn’t mean they got it wrong if you don’t have that trait. It just means you have a higher likelihood of getting or not getting a trait. If you get a trait that is predicted highly that you wouldn’t, then that just means you fell in the smaller likelyhood. And with the ancestry, it’s likely your black American and black Jamaican sides both has European ancestry so hence you’re nearly half black and half white. The mixed race you are has a name, in English it is called m u l a t t o.
Unless your parents are "pure", you won't inherit a 50:50 percent of ancestry like the way you explained from what I understand. Though you being 50:50 doesn't make sense If your mother is closer to pure and your father mixed.
I’m Italian and Puerto Rican and mine told me I was mostly Spaniard but I was like no shit 🤣🤣🤣 freaking look at me 🤣 I’m tempted to do another test and see if I get anything else that’s cool. I thought I had Native American in me turns out I don’t have one drop, so my grandpa lied 🤥
Don't say that he lied. Many tribes are not in the database, ancestry states that on their website.
I’m supposedly supposed to have Cuban ancestry and I only had 2 percent native American and 2 percent spanish. The tests only go back about 200 years. So your Native American might have been past that
Yeah I'm curious about my taino side but it might not show up. I guess it doesn't need to, because I knew my great grandmother and she's taino to the t, so idk. I want to try this though in general!
@@livingdulceif it doesn’t show up it’s not in your body
@@TwistedNewzTVthey have it in their database because many Puerto Ricans get Native American percentages like 9%-20% type percentages. This person doesn’t have it in their body if it’s not in the test result.
Take a genetics class 😬. God bless you
You get 50% from your father, 50% of your mother. That would make you 100%.
HOWEVER, this doesn't mean you get the same pieces of DNA as your siblings would have with the same parents. Even a twin wouldn't have that.
This means you could have more European in you then your parents or siblings, funny but true.
Jamaica was a British colony that used slaves, but I don't think this should weigh too heavily as the British were the first to take it up them selves to end slavery everywhere using their own treasury and navy. This is also why you later got a civil war in what is now the US. If the British didn't pull so heavily on ending slavery we still would have it today. Only ones that didn't stop is countries within Africa and Middle-East. Within Asia you would have China, India and a few others that still use it as well to this day.
I think you are already aware that the surname "Prince" is a British one. So somewhere a black female ancestor in your family probably married a white British man receiving that surname.
For the physical features part, well to be fair it is what your DNA tells them. DNA is a hard thing at this day and age to figure out, so you got always odd things appearing. If you would look over time to the results again they might have been adjusted as more knowledge gets gathered and thus your results can be more precise. Also your DNA can tell a lot about your, without your knowledge or being able to actually see it. In this one you are rather over reacting to something you simply don't have the knowledge about, which is fine. But it isn't fine to get upset over it. You chose to do this, they gave you what they could find which clearly is stated can not be 100% perfect as they still area learning a lot of new things regarding DNA..
For the health section, while no panic needs to happen it would be foolish to ignore it. Even if it's not as accurate as going to a hospital and have them directly search for these things, it's a estimation and not precise science. So yes you might see odd things but I wouldn't completely dismiss it either. That would be again not knowing the topic well enough before starting to scream. A lot of people unfortunately have this flaw. If there is something on the list that's worrying you, you might as well visit the doctor and see if a investigation can be started so they can either dismiss or proof this to you. Even if it's a future possibility it's better to prepare then to ignore it.
Something they state clearly, ESTIMATION. They never stated FACT.
So no need to scream about it.
For your DNA matches, yes if they find family trough DNA, you got these people in your family. No way around it, this DNA part is well documented and very much solid evidence, even in court.
"who are these white people", yeah better not say that as it's hinting towards racism. Better not say it like that, could have said "who are these 2 men?". Why do I say this? Let's turn it around. A white person stating the same about black people would be instantly seen as racism these days. So please be careful with that, not a real positive thing to state.
Regarding the different companies doing such tests, each has a different way of testing and will test on different things. So you could get completely different results if you have no clue what they do before you start the tests.
If you wish to know a broader picture to see what is going on, I would advice you to ask your parents, their parents and your siblings to do these tests as well. This will ensure you that you got at least a better picture of the puzzle.
Girl your so pretty. I just got my results, and those health results are totally off!!!!! I wouldn't recommend paying the extra money for the health results...lol better off just going to the doctor
I haven't seen anyone mention it, but the Ancestry communities are built from your matches, so you will have quite a lot of matches that are from distant cousins that are from, or have built family trees and have ancestors from Jamaica. The Ethnicity Estimate and percentages are created by comparing your DNA to reference populations they have for certain regions of the world and people who have also bought the tests. Some countries/regions are more likely to be accurate than others as if not many people have tested in one there won't be much of a sample population with DNA on record to compare against. As more people test your results should get updated and in theory should become more accurate.
Finally when I think you said your mum is 100% black unless she's tested and is 100% of African ethnicity you just don't know this. As you suggested early in the video, Jamaica being a British colony, and without going in to too much detail when the slave trade was happening, female slaves, I've read, often had children fathered by their slave owners, so I would expect if your mum was tested she would have quite a lot European ancestry (not nice to think about, but it happened, sadly). The same is likely true on your father's side as well, if one of his parents is African American. You could also be getting some of the England and Northwestern Europe from your Irish grandparent as Ireland was effectively a colony as well and there will have been some mixing from English people who want to Ireland and intermarried with the Irish population.
I have the same with a biracial father and a white grandmother. My mother's results ended up being 74% black which made me 58% black and 40% white. People just assume I'm biracial and I sometimes feel like I'm having experiences of being biracial as my father did... I'm just confused and lonely half the time lol
Awww
Can you post something about it? I am interested.
58% black is basically biracial because most biracial people in America are more white than black because African Americans are not even 100% black
By most other countries standards you would be mixed race/biracial but that wouldnt be viewed in quite the same way as it is in the US. Race is very.....strangely viewed there
@@Sgt.chickensexactly 😂. That’s y I never take America seriously on race or a one drop rule because it’s no race logic in America. And for sure 60/40 is still half but by default in America u can just say blk, so ill never understand the hate towards ppl with a white parent identifying as blk when those situations happens all the time
I expected fully Scottish, Irish, English, German and French.
I'm also East Asian and Jewish. My father's side of the family were orphaned indigenous children that were given french names, so I am indigenous as well. I am also Iberian, ie Portuguese and Spanish. I'm honestly not shocked.
Our Ancestors, so very many of them, lived close to shipping meccas and Port cities. A literal melting pot.
I have Rh- blood, grey eyes, and dirty blonde hair. I have my father's indigenous skin and I do not burn. I have two left handed children.
I love that we can see these genetics on paper.
Miss Maam you need to talk to your granny 😆 she has Irish and German in her ancestry
I did tho! 😂 she talking about her great grandmother but then calculations still off. That would be like 7% by the time it get to me
@@APlll 😆
I dont feel bad at all im actually thankful i dont have 100% african features
her dads dad wasn't pure African
Exactly, very easy to figure out you don’t know she is her father the father pass on e lineage not the mother.
I think youre getting confused because the test is telling you technically the percentage of each nationality you have. My nieces mother is black her dads mother is black her dads father is white. So she would be 75 percent black and 25 percent white. Her actually blood is 68 percent black and 32 percent white. We call it as 75/ 25 percent. It's like I'm all black but technically im 81 percent black from different tribes of course and 19 percent European but I'm not saying the technical way. I'm all black the regular way of looking at it.
So you're biracial
More than one European in there 😊
22 percent chance means the chance is real.
It’s not that confusing. Look every lightskin is part white whether somebody like the opinion or not it’s a true fact. In Africa you’ll rarely see a lightskin. It’s just how genetics work. Just like what does light beige and dark brown make, light brown. I don’t get where the concept how people get confused (no offense, I’m just talking about other people). Like Mexicans, there are a lot of Mexicans that don’t like white people but the reality is their most likely 40-50 percent white themselves. Because when you do dna testing they don’t count Mexican they count your native and European. Because since north and South American are so diverse and new, like if you Canadian their not gonna say your 40-50 percent Canadian. The way I look at it, people that are Mexican heritage, they are, Mexican by blood, Mexican by culture, Mexican by lineage, but not Mexican genetically. And by the way my mom’s side are Mexican. Sorry so long just I love how genetics work and heritage of every race
There are many fair skin Africans who may have been.mixed centuries before the disaporo
I thought it was mentalistic or in my imagination. I never believed it was possible to dislike someone you do not know. Unbelievable. 😮
It sounds like you fall into the small percentage it’s not wrong you just so happen to be in the small percentages of the calculation
@ ANONYMOUS GIRL She has REALLY SHORT TINY COILY TIGHTLY( CURLY )HAIR TO THE (Scalp)HEAD! PLEASE PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO IT! HAVE A GOOD DAY!!!
Omg i also have one white grandparent im waiting for my kit in the mail i was expecting to be only 25% white until i see your results lord im scared now lol…girl you are straight up biracial
If you were born outside of the deepest, darkest Africa there's a good chance you may have European ancestry/ethnicity. I have African, European and Native American ancestry/ethnicity.
Anywhere the Europeans colonized they left traces of themselves such as their seed/seaman. If you look further into American History you will find that some Native Americans also had slaves or mingled with escaped or freed African Americans. I have Cherokee on both sides of the family. Just because you have dark skin it does not mean you are of 100% African ancestry/ethnicity.
Theres likely a chance both of your parents are both half and half
Simple.....Your not to far removed from your Eroupeon ancestors... Example my white ancestors are 4-5x removed.. Yours is one generation.
Race is a social construct but tbh yes it makes complete sense your half and half. Black Americans/Caribbeans only know SO MUCH about where they actually come from. Technically you’re not African like most of us in the AA/Caribbean pool you’re American. (The Americas have been black and yt mostly for at least 200-300 years alone). The newer ethnicities here are fresh; if that makes sense.
I’m 79% west African and 19% Caucasian and 1% Native American. I physically look like a Typical light brown skin Jamaican. But technically I’m a Native Black who happens to have 1 yt grandfather.
Best advice would be to just talk to your family and ask them what they know 🕺🏾. Best of luck Queen 👸🏽.
Conclusion: We gone alllll be mixed SOON 🅿️😎🤣🤣💯
A nice video. So, the results say you’re biracial and not black. I like doing these tests. They are interesting.
It's so weird how some people say biracial is a race. It's a number. It's not its own race, but I guess people are forcing it to be that (cause that's what they want, especially if you are black). Black is the race, biracial is the number, but a lot of people forget about that. We aren't (yet) our own race. Hopefully we will become one so we don't have deal with a lot of this, but it might take a while. I don't know when.
@@jays-move8803Black is fully sub-Saharan african like in West Africa. “Black” Americans are mixed race people (20% white is the average) and this woman is a mulatto woman and not a black woman. Some people use the term biracial instead of the term mulatto.
@@IslenoGutierrez not all black american mixed
@@kaizatengoku3893 Not all, but about 99.5% are.
@@IslenoGutierrez ok now u just making up a number
But she red skin
White people are people.
Well see okay so your dads dad being black doesn’t mean hes 100% black cause see anyone who’s a product of slavery have some kind of European in them weather they know it or not. So your dad can be well over 60% white and not know it nor look it. Same with your mom she may appear fully black but like I said before everyone who was a product of slavery has some European in them, Tho Jamaicans typically have 10% or less compared to Americans having 10%-25% your mom should still fall in that range of having around 10% maybe even more. On top of this you do receive your dna at random from your parents. But the random you got is very unique.😂
No need to complicate it lol this result is not surprising at all.
No. There are no pure bread black people in North America. Pure bread African is in Africa. North American blk people are not Pure bread. Our geans is watered down. We have Nigerian, southern bantu people, benin togo, Sub-Saharan, european. At least 7 european countries tried to take over Africa. So we now know where the slave came from.
I wouldn't necessarily say that. There are some gullah that are 100% Sub Saharan African. I've also seen a result where an African American from Virginia was 100% African as well. Although very rare, it does happen
You look like my cousin
Girl, you need to learn what a probability is
Your results are not that surprising. According to you, you assume that because your mum is Jamaican that she has 100% African DNA. You also presume that your mixed race dad had a 50/50 split of European and African DNA ...... whereas it is quit possible that your grandparents on your dad's side had European in their DNA. When you put it all together there is no way that you would be up to 75% African.
Yes, your hair is wavy. It isn't tight. Only to you.
@ Anonymous Girl She has really SHORT TINY COILY & TIGHTLY CURLY TEXTURED CLOSE TO THE HEAD (Scalp) HAIR!!!! It's can only become Wavy with using HAIR GEL ON IT! Please PAY CLOSE ATTENTION!- Thanks ! Have A Good One!
You appear to have 4A hair not 4C lol🤣🤣🤣 BUT DEFINITELY NOT NO WAVY ION KNOW WHAT(!) THEY TALKING ABOUT!
Well, if you let your hair grow, maybe it will become wavy. I don’t know why black women cut their hair. Unless somethings going on with them other than that, the black woman never cut their hair. I didn’t see not to take care of it or trimming or something like that to shave it like a man’s hair I do not understand. And excuse I get all the time they don’t have time to do it that’s ridiculous to me a sign of laziness. I guess they don’t wash that backside either. No I’m not talking about this particular lady because I don’t know her. But she’s still not cutting her hair. She does not have to.
I woud ask them to run the test again. Also the black side of your father may have white DNA!
umm you're not black
Heeey it’s alright to be white, don’t seem so disappointed lol.
People who say there are black means they just identify with that…. it doesn’t mean they’re 100% African black 😂😂
