[@MrJovon321]

We are complex. I am African American with all sorts of ancestry: ethnically diverse people from Western and Central Africa (and more, like the small group of Malagasy people brought to America), Europe, and indigenous people here. Still, my history is authentically "African American" and I feel 100% African American. I see the diversity of our past as just another interesting part of our's and the human story, an interesting story of how we came to be. Plus every group of people has had ancestors which were once distinct. In all of my 'identities' I feel like a human, a son, an American, an ethnic African American, a person with ethnic history which is overall made up of once distinct peoples of the past, etc. This is part of the reason why I despise 'racial' thought and categorizing ethnically and culturally unique people by 'races', because it really puts a damper on the true flexibility and inter-relatedness of humanity, but that's another thing.

[@sssssss6361]

These tests are unnecessary for Africans. They will end up confusing you, especially if you have low understanding of how genetic tests work. Let African Americans and other lost people take the test. You are Ethiopian. That is all that matters.

Historically speaking, a lot of empires were water-based as opposed to land based because of ease of transportation over water. So if you think of the empire as the Red Sea or The Mediterranean for example, it makes send how Yemen and Ethiopia/Somalia can be parts of the same "Country" at some point. Or how Alexandria and Cyprus can be too. This is the oldest part of the world we are talking about in terms of human civilisation after all.

[@sagattttt]

Too adorable. Great unifying message at the end.👍

[@AmenaandElias]

Mimi Thank you!!!

[@capriaricho]

I'm pretty sure the reason why you guys had similar scores is because most of North East Africa are the people of Cush. Ethiopia was a name given by the greeks/romans that means "land of cush" and the Kingdom of Kush is around Sudan. In somalia, the land of punt was around there that is cush. Somalis, Ethiopians, Eritreans, people of Djibouti and Sudan are all descents of Cush, son of Ham :)

[@truth9042]

You guys should try ancestrydna instead because in 23andme middle eastern components in horners is considered as african rather than middle eastern so the african % in 23andme is not very accurate for horn africans.

[@magdalene3431]

Interesting. I'm ethiopian and I got 66.8% east african, 30.3% north african even though my maternal grandmother is Oromo. The likelihood of Arab ancestry from Yemen or the Arab Peninsula is low and there's a definite lack of evidence to support that. Our language/culture is simply a product of us having interacted with and being influenced by Arabian countries such as Yemen etc. I think what's more likely is that Amhara/tigrinya people descend from the Belew, or Balaw, who were mixed Beja (Northern Sudanese) and Bedouin (Southern Egyptian) people. I don't know if these people can be classified as Arab as they predate by centuries even the existence of an 'arab' identity which now is centered upon Islam. So I think it's pointless to say we're mixed with Arab. We're just Ethiopian lol :)

[@AmenaandElias]

I agree in the end it's just Ethiopian :) Genetics doesn't change a thing... if anything it just shows how much more we are closely related than most people think!

[@pedromfc7310]

North African natives tend to be called Berbers altough due to islamic conquest the berber identity was kinda lost and the culture nowadays seems to be a berber/arab mix depending the country

[@AmenaandElias]

Pedro Mfc ahhh so basically the same story as Sudan 😅 Gotcha

[@annem.1986]

No, the Berbers like you call them were called like that by the Greeks who called anyone different Barabaros, meaning Barbarous, a lot of us actually find it quite offensive. In our native language, Tamazight, we call ourselves Amazigh meaning ''free man'' (plr. Imazighen). The Amazigh identity mostly disappeared in Egypt (only 40K tamazight speakers), Libya (600K) and Tunisia (60K), but millions still speak the language to this day in Morocco and Algeria. As for the culture, it's still heavily Amazigh including our architecture, clothes, food, music, etc. Even when we speak arabic, Arabs from the Middle East don't understand our dialect because it contains a lot of berber words. You can google the biggest Amazigh groups: - Rif (Morocco) - Kabyles (Algeria) - Chaouis (Algeria) - Tuaregs (Niger, Algeria, Lybia, Mali) - Mozabite (Algeria) - Chleuh (Morocco) Chleuh music sounds a lot like Ethiopian music in my opinion.

[@Geranuke]

Five years were a long time ago. A lot has changed recently so if you retake the test they will be more specific about your HOPLO group.it will be very cool because your results are exciting.

[@theresahaynes8267]

Love your channel. You and your husband or so adorable and very wise indeed!

[@ShahanshahofPersia]

Your husband likely has ancestry from Yemen because 2,000 years ago there was considerable Yemeni and Ethiopian mixing. Ethiopians ruled Yemen and there was intermarriage between the two population groups. Also, you likely do have Arab ancestry, as your father's Y-Haplogroup suggests. There was considerable Arab settlement (mainly from Yemen and Egypt) in Sudan, and this was one of the primary factors of Sudan's Islamization and Arabization.

[@magdalene3431]

I disagree. If there was considerable wide-spread intermarriage/intermixing with Yemenis there'd be a ton of archaeological evidence to support that, but there isn't. I think we're most likely descended from mixed Beja and Bedouin people which is very ancient.

[@amaanreer5311]

i think their was mixture with sabeans just that it wasn't as widespread as people think, like 10% only. most non-african dna in ethiopian is probably very ancient due to "back to africa" migrations.

[@magdalene3431]

Yes I agree there may have been limited mixture with sabeans, but it didn't have a major impact on our genetics as people may think. As you say, the ancient 'back to Africa' migrations have determined the genetic make-up of populations throughout the region which have been affected to a limited extent by the rise and fall of empires.

[@AmenaandElias]

Auto samaale I watched a documentary that said that Queen Sheba may have come from Sabean people!

[@arabsofalgeria9869]

am from algeria the originals people are berbers they ar now nearly 12 millions berberians and the others are arabs ( 30 millions )

[@ottekalon2139]

Yes, and people in north Africa know they're not Arab. Egyptian believe they are mother of Adnanite Arab since Abraham married an Egyptian and have Ishmael from her womb. Arab believe they have 3 on 3 Arab division which long to explain however biggest division is Qahtanite which is originally in Yemen many of this tribe become a kings in Arabian peninsula from Lebanon to Oman. Another influential tribe was Quraysh (branch of Adnanite), a respected tribe in Hejaz (Region between levant and yemen) which then unified Arabic languag. Tigrinya, Berber, Arab, and Egyptian are not people who don't know their origin, desert dwellers have very strong oral tradition.

[@user-ed5vd1zm3b]

you wish lmao you probably mean 12 millions speak berber and 30 millions are arabized berbers lol you should change your nickname to Arabized of Algeria that would be a lot more accurate

[@shmelsmitike7071]

N.Africa + Middle east = Arab

[@nevermore464]

You guys are great. It all depends on how long ago the North African Ancestry dates...I would guess more than likely, they're classifying him as having berber lineage because the Arab and Arab peninsula of thousands of years ago were a mixture of East and Northern African tribes. That's why people assume when they see a mixture of a East African person or any part of Africa, with the Arab region....they assume them to be the same lineage of present day Euro-Asiatic Arabs. Of course their was mixing and colonization to take into account, but in your husband's case it seems likely to be Berber.

[@newonevery740]

let me explain this to you all about this genetic matter ... firstly the term Africa was first used to indicate only Tunisia and parts of Libya. the usage of Africa to mean the entire land mass is recent and that is part of the confusion. secondly the genetic evidence shows that north and east Africans who belong to the E haplotype are related to semites who have the J haplotype and they were the same group but split in the levant and semites (J) spread into iraq/iran (Mesopotamia) the levant and the Arabian peninsula while the E haplotype spread through north and east Africa. thirdly they are both share something other than common ancestry they also share a language connection as they both the Semitic branch and african branch are in the language group called afro-asian language family and this goes back to berber/ancient Egyptian/ Nubian languages. I hope this clears up some confusion. but of course there are tribes that are from inside the continent

[@MrJovon321]

You're on point, but it is not clear all of the derived E can be traced to migrants from Western Asia. The most of its diversity lies in North and East Africa. The split could have happened in the Levant, North Africa, around the Red Sea, East Africa.

[@IslenoGutierrez]

Similar to the lowest end of for Near East DNA for Somali genetics. But this is a commercial DNA test which are known for hiding near Eastern in that East African component, so he’s probably closer to 50/50. You’d need to run your raw data through Gedmatch for your true scores.

Tito Torres proof?

[@IslenoGutierrez]

tRaP mAcAliN 2lOoSe! Yes of course. There were Mediterraneans already in Egypt and 11,000 years ago they had a culture in Egypt called the Faiyum culture. Then a migration of mixed race (like a half/half mixed race of Caucasoid and Negroid) arrived from the northern Horn of Africa from a land called the land of Punt. They became known as the Badarians. Then the Badarians absorbed a heavy migration of Mediterraneans and they turned into predominantly Caucasoid people called the Naqada. Then, the two groups the Mediterraneans and the Naqada mixed into one with heterogeneity among them and this was before the Egyptian state formed. Examples of painted limestone statues of early Egyptians in the old kingdom show them to look like modern Egyptians. I can post examples of them if you want to see them.

[@IslenoGutierrez]

Raging Thunder There is absolutely no evidence that the Ancient Egyptians started out as Nordic people. If you reread my comment, you’ll notice I said there were Mediterraneans in early Egypt. Around 9000 BC they had a culture called the Faiyum culture, that’s 11,000 years ago. This can be googled. Mediterraneans were already in Egypt before there was an Egypt and had a tremendous culture 6,000 years before the birth of Ancient Egypt (dynastic Egypt). Then, there are references to a migration of people arriving in Egypt from “the land of punt”, which by its description along with animal remains, aromatic resins and other items, that makes the northern Horn of Africa the most likely place. So in early predynastic Egypt, there was two races of people present in Egypt...Mediterraneans and Horners. But as anthropological evidence supports, the Horners became heavily mixed with Mediterranean ancestry by the late predynastic. East African Horners in the first place are a half/half mixed race of caucasoid West Eurasian DNA and negroid Sub-Saharan African DNA. So being that the Horners became heavily mixed with Mediterranean ancestry from Mediterraneans that had already been living in Egypt, they became a predominantly caucasoid Mediterranean-Puntite mixed race known as the Naqada and this predominantly caucasoid mixed race group mixed with more Mediterraneans which created people that looked like caucasoid people, but with red-brown skin. All this happen before the state of Egypt (dynastic Egypt) was born. The history of Egypt and evidence points to this. However, although many were mixed Mediterranean-Puntite as a predominantly caucasoid race with minor negroid admixture, Ancient Egyptians were a heterogeneous society so there were still some that were Mediterraneans and some that were still more like Puntites. The Mediterranean type Ancient Egyptian was demonstrated by a 2017 whole-genome DNA study of Ancient Egyptian mummies from middle Egypt that showed them to be genetically similar to Middle Easterners and Modern Egyptians. They were closer to Middle Easterners because modern Egyptians had picked up about an 8% amount of Sub-Saharan DNA from slaves brought to Egypt by the the trans-Saharan slave trade 750 years ago initiated by the Islamic world, so this caused them to slightly pull away genetically from Ancient Egyptians in principle analysis component tests, but other tests done in the study showed modern Egyptians to be the direct descendants of Ancient Egyptians and ancestrally closer to Ancient Egyptians than any world population, indicating high continuity. So that would mean that modern Egyptians are 8% less Caucasoid than Ancient Egyptians in the study so on that note I can agree that average modern Egyptians are less caucasoid than Ancient Egyptians tested in the study. However, more tests need to be done on other areas of Egypt to see if the results are consistent with the results from the 2017 DNA study or if they differ slightly or significantly due to a possible increase or decrease of ancestry. It is apparent that these types of Ancient Egyptians in the DNA study were of the Mediterranean variety of Ancient Egypt. I speculate that testing of different areas will produce results of several different racial types including Mediterraneans, Horner types and mixed Mediterranean-Horner types. The biggest mistake most people not very familiar with Ancient Egypt make is to presume all Ancient Egyptians were on one single racial type. Not even modern Egypt is on one single racial type. I’m not one for speculation; I debate better with evidence. Would you like to submit your first piece of evidence for a Nordic origin of Ancient Egyptians? I will return with an evidence rebuttal supporting my claims.

xutubeuser2 idiot when did Arabs control Ethiopia? hmmm. Ethiopia was never colonized but the Ethiopia colonized Yemen and if you are muslim you know the surah feel ( chapter of elephants) its talking when Ethiopian were the masters of Arabia so maybe they take many Yemeni concubines. the only nations threatened Ethiopians were Somali in 1552 ( futuhul habash) and Italians in 1887 and 1936 and these are non 100% Arab nations.

[@videonofan]

It's not surprising that an Ethiopian man has North African DNA. The languages of Ethiopia and North Africa are from the same Afro-Asiatic family and one theory for the origin of the Proto-Afro-Asiatic people (the common Ancestor of Ethiopians and North Africans) puts it in the Horn.

[@InspiredByEbonyLove]

Yes, the North African sample group IS ARAB/ Turkic in origin. Those same people invaded Africa and spread from the North Western region over to the Eastern region which includes Arabia and Yemen and even Somalia.
