Asian & African? | Analyzing My 3 DNA Test Results Vs. Family Stories

I really had to call my dad: I was shocked at one result & completely off on all of the percentages.
Follow me on Instagram: / ayyuhabits

[@ayyuhabits]

Clarification & update: note "vs family stories". My shock is due to feeling like I was made to miss out since no one EVER mentioned it. I don't even know one word. Grew up in the US with some ppl saying "you look somali" & paid it no mind. But now I can say "good guess. I actually found out I am!" Did some research & found out my maternal grandfather is from Gursum, Ethiopia (known for going back & forth as somali & oromo region). He died when I was born and so did knowledge of his roots since everyone was raised in Addis Ababa. But my maternal grandmother (with the Indian blood) is very close to me - stuck out because of how she looked - and told me stories for her father's family since I was very young (no need for shock/old news).

Magalee teenya: remember that: 1) Oromos & Somalis branched-out from the same ancestral tree that also included neighbouring 'Cushitic tribes' such as Afar, Sidama, Beja [Eritrea/Sudan/southern Egypt], and, 2) African political boundaries that separate say people in the Somali Republic, Ethiopia, Kenya, Eritrea, etc, are all artificial. There is no such a thing as "an Ethiopian phenotype" or "Somali phenotype" as, for example, there are huge number of Somalis who ended-up in what became of Ethiopia & Kenya .. as there have been large number of Oromos who ended-up becoming part of Somalia [eg: Juba river valley Oromos in Southern Somalia], Kenya, etc. SONG/S: by a young & upcoming singer named Sakina [Borana/Gabra - Oromo, northern Kenya].

Your realizing that the borders on maps are "just drawn" is about the most important conclusion you can reach from these reports. Like you, so many people at first protest the ethnicities/countries listed in their genetic breakdowns - "I know I'm not German because my mother said we all came from Spain!" - but those countries are pretty recent and people moved around a lot over the centuries, with ethnolinguistic groups and regions being more significant for understanding our ancestry than the arbitrarily drawn countries that we have today.

@@LK-ho1dg Everything you said is false. Define significance? A close friend of mine is interested and has been doing research on this topic. The difference between Cushitic and Semitic groups isn't even that significance. If you want to go down the road of admixture all Horner's are technically admixed and have western Eurasian ancestry. Even Europeans, Asian, etc. are all mixed. It does not necessarily mean that they are mixed. It just means that the foundation of their ancestry were build that way. Skin color is not a good indicator at all. Those who have lived close to the equator for thousands of years are going to be much darker than those who live further away from the equator even if they are related. As for West or Southern African with straight, there is no such thing unless you have European/foreign ancestry.

@@_bzz_ Ethiopians are Hamitic / Cushitic but they now speak a Semitic language. In the Bible Ethiopians is Cush the first son of Ham. Ethiopia is just the Greek name for Cush. Similarly Egypt is Greek name for Mizraim the younger brother of Cush.

Sis, you got a high amount of Somali dna, because the region of Harar, was dominated by Harla, and So,ali tribes before oromo migration after the adal sultanate wars of Ahmed gurey, so the region had harla and somalis who were close Muslim allies, intermixing, then oromos in the 1600s, expanded into the area and assimilated a lot of the ancient harla, and ancient somali tribes who lived in that area, look up the sultanate of ifat, adal kingdom, and adal sultanate..it shows fro, the 9th century till the 16th century, there were no oromos in the harar region and all of Eastern Ethiopia, the area was controlled by Somalis, and their very close allies, the Harla

Hararge area Oromos are Somali tribes that have been assimilated into the Oromo family. They still keep their lineage but speak Afaan Oromo. This includes my family. The Ethiopian part of your DNA could also be Oromo or Somali. Somalis established Harar and Dire Dawa cities and lived all the way to Addis before they were pushed back by the Menelik expansion which took over Harar.

Am from East Africa, Kenya....my ancestral home is Ethiopia and my ethnicity is Somali so that makes me Ethiopian Somali...i did my Ancestry DNA test and guess what I got 17% India and it specified Coimbatore... I started saying how is this possible then I remembered how I love Tamil cinema and Tamil songs and how I have always learned the basic Tamil... I asked my parents about it and they said they also have no idea because their entire lives they knew they were pure Somali lol 😂😂😂😂

Harar was Sultanate State which was ruled most of Somalia and Ethiopia for descendents Somali rulers, After become a important city for Somalia territories until that that Menelik the king of abbysenia(modern Ethiopia) and the kingdom of portoghese conquered harar approximately was 1886-88 then became a part of Ethiopia and many cities which so close to Harar, that's why I wanted you to understand the history of Harar to understand Ur as the somali DNA

The east Asian is probably Mongol or Nepalese. As you're aware, Mongols did got into West Asia. South Asia also include East Asians like the native Nepalese people.

[@crescendyr8438]

Somali, Ethiopia, etc. is a nationality. It's not a race. There are no Ethiopian genes. These genetic test are arbitrarily labeling this or that DNA as Somali or Ethiopian based on frequency. That doesn't mean those genes are not all over the place. It just means that it's represented the *most* within this or that arbitrary border... _according to their particular "anecdotal" database._ If I remapped East African and changed the borders of Eritrea, Ethiopia, etc. then the labels might change to reflect that. That's why you have updates in the first place. One day they have my highest frequency in the Benin samples. But they get more Nigerian samples and realize X is more prevalent in Nigeria. Then My DNA changes from one arbitrary label to another. Utterly meaningless when you think about it. The only thing that is trustworthy is the fact that I'm majority West African. Pinpointing exact countries doesn't really mean much. Even with all the people they may have tested, that number is still less than 0.01% of the entire sub-Saharan population.
