Ancestry DNA Test Results | ASTONISHING! African American.

[@dimbwemazala8978]

I am very impressed with you. It is very rare to come across a black person born outside Africa whose knowledge is so accurate. So far, there is not a single thing you have said that I can argue with. Very very well done. You hace definitely done your homework.... As for the DNA data base itself.... There are one or two issues I might to object to but....

[@goheine]

Congratulations 🍾🎉🎈🎊 on your ethnicities DNA test results! You’re a citizen of the world!

[@AntonsClass]

Thank you! ☺️🙏🏽

[@JM-pi2vc]

You can do the African Ancestry DNA test to get specifics about your ethnic heritage. It will tell you your specific tribes or groups.

[@AntonsClass]

I'll get to that one too! Soon. Thank you for sharing.

[@drgbengashadare6104]

This is one of the most informed KZbinrs ever. I enjoyed watching this especially your nuanced interpretation of the DNA results which was really refreshing. God bless you and thanks from your British-Nigerian brother.

[@drgbengashadare6104]

And by the way, I absolutely love all things Japanese.

[@AntonsClass]

Wow! I really appreciate the love. Hello, my British-Nigerian brother! Cheers!

[@javajive01]

Wow! So good! I know a lot about DNA and genealogy and this is one of the most intelligent results video I have ever seen. I also love cultural anthropology, african history and geography so that makes us kindred spirits.

[@AntonsClass]

Thank you very much! I appreciate your engagement here. 🙌🏽🙏🏽

Thanks for sharing....I want to do the African Ancestry test 1st and maybe do the Ancestry one in the future.

[@AntonsClass]

That's a good idea. I definitely will invest in the African Ancestry too.

IDK why I stumbled upon this on this Sat morning at 6am ish on a stay in the Caribbean?! (actually probably cause I watch a lot of this topic, LOL) but I really enjoyed it. I'm glad you talked about the fears of doing DNA testing and I agree 100%, if 'big brother' was after your DNA, they could easily get it in so many ways - dentist, physical, pre-employment like you said. I do have to wonder about the updates though. How do you go from 2% Russian and Eastern European to it's gone and now replaced by Scottish? Also when I uploaded my raw data - My heritage DNA revealed 11% Kenyan; never saw that anywhere else but you could say that Kenyan falls under the umbrella of Western Bantu however why have I seen other people's results specifying what ethinc group e.g. Masai etc. because "Kenyan" is not an ethnic group, it's a nationality and by all accounts, a nationality that was created during the era of Imperialism etc.. I was and am excited to see those results but what is "Kenyan" in this context?

[@AntonsClass]

Thank you for viewing and sharing your experience. That is quite interesting how some ethnicities will suddenly disappear with the updates, right? I think it's due to the fact that some genetic signals may be present in one place, but after further investigation, it's understood that they originated someplace else. I'm not certain though.

[@solorider2607]

Honestly I think that more countries invest in DNA Test so that people can also know their ancestry history or bloodlines

[@AntonsClass]

That's a fantastic idea. I agree

[@Creoleboi80]

Loved your video! You are very knowledgeable of african history!

[@AntonsClass]

Thank you!! 🙏🏾

BTW Have you heard of the Living DNA company. They do a good job identifying ethnic/tribal roots.

[@AntonsClass]

No I haven't. Thanks. I'll check them out.

[@kikithedisneyfan5607]

That is so cool to be black and Japanese!! Congratulations!! 🥳🥳🥳 I have European heritage and I am also black but I was wondering, should I be proud of my European heritage??

[@AntonsClass]

Thank you! I think you should feel a sense of dignity over your ancestry. Each of your ancestors were equally human, equally beautiful in their own right. ❤️

[@kikithedisneyfan5607]

@@AntonsClass amen!! And I find it very cool that they could have spoken German or French but whatever language I choose which is German, I know The Lord is leading me on the right patch because when I had doubts about if I was doing the right thing with learning German. Many good people reminded me to stick with German. I believe that was God speaking through them. 😊😊😊

[@KentPetersonmoney]

Any European American communities show up? Didn't show for me even though i'm 20% europeaon. Pretty cool Japanese showed up in your resort. It's rare for African Americans to be part Japanese since they are sorta new to America. As time go on it'll likely be more common for African Americans to be part Japanese or other type of Asian.

[@AntonsClass]

No, I didn't get any European American communities. And my grandfather was in Japan and met his wife there (my grandma).

[@KentPetersonmoney]

@@AntonsClass so the mix is recent ok. I had some half Asian matches. I'm guessing my distant cousins must had met them in the military.

[@Mope333]

[@CoNaana]

Great video, but I think that it's not enough that more people take dna-tests to make them more accurate, the tests needs to be associated with a family tree so that the company can make the connection. That is at least my layman's understanding of it.

[@kmatti4]

Anton is Kavango yeahhh😁😁😁

[@mizzobjectiveone3819]

Hmm, I was reading in one of the genetics books that there are so many genes that are superimposed between central and west African groups that sometimes you can't distinguish between the two. For instance, Mandinka and Yoruba sometimes fall within the same genetic group; Fulani of Nigeria, Ibo, and Yoruba have genes that intersect as well, so you can't distinguish between those groups. Wolof and Senegal Fulani group together and Kru of Liberia intersects with Yoruba as well. As they update, they'll get better but as of now, meh.

[@AntonsClass]

Ahh, very interesting! That makes a lot of sense. Thanks for shedding some light on that information for me/ us.

[@mizzobjectiveone3819]

@@AntonsClass Just in case, I'll leave the reference; The History and Geography of Human Genes by Cavalli-Sforza, Menozzi and Piazza. It's in Chapter 3. Have a great day!

@@mizzobjectiveone3819 appreciate you!

[@curtiswilliams8285]

A lot of what you're saying is true in that the DNA profiles of West and West-Central African people's groups are so hard to distinguish. 23andme actually have included African people groups in their results but even then, it's not perfect. I've personally uses my DNA community(Early Virginia African Americans) as well as matches(I have 13 Full African matches mostly Fulani and Igbo) so that's helped me too. The best thing to know is that we're multi tribal ancestry wrt our African genomes but our own distinct community. That's how I've learned to look at my own results. My results are typical of our community; The Descendants of The Pre Civil War Black American Population and so it's given m lots of insight into my ancestry Pre Trans Atlantic Slave Trade.

[@philipbutler6608]

Remember your Nigerian 40 % could have come from a 100 or more ancestors. So it’s equally important that more Africans test. They say your Autosomal DNA of your Tenth generation ancestors is almost totally replaced by the time you are born.

[@solorider2607]

Congratulations Anton on finding out that you are part Bantu

[@honeyjazz4147]

Mine was not very accurate at all in the early days I took the test, I first took the test in 2013, it has updated many many times since then, now it's much more accurate and really good since they added the inheritance tool.

[@honeyjazz4147]

If it shows up in your dna ar all it's not negabile. 23andme can pick up even smaller amounts than 1%.. I agree that if the government wanted your dna for any reason they can obtain it.

[@AntonsClass]

Love the inheritance tool!

[@lorriet2922]

There is one problem with African Ancestry Dna, they only test about 8 markers and from my understanding that is too low to be accurate. At that level many tribes will share those same markers. Also they did not give me my full haplogroup. I got a better breakdown of my haplogroup from 23andMe and they was one letter short so they have been improving. Do your own investigation but that has been my experience.

[@AntonsClass]

That makes sense. Thank you for sharing that information with us here!

[@curtiswilliams8285]

@MegLow Facts. People need to know the history of our people Pre Trans Atlantic Slave Trade and how it's shaped our genomes as a community. There's a reason why we have lots of African regions. It's part and parcel of The Trans Atlantic Slave Trade.

[@nwachinemere7759]

Very very correct assessment. With African ancestry DNA, most people tested show their maternal heritage to be everything else but Nigerian. For them, it's either Tikar, Balanta or Mande tribes, but no Nigerian. Ancestry, Heritage and 23 and me show mostly Nigerian heritage for AA.

Ancestry DNA

[@Michael-rg1gk]

Please study the origins of phenotypes and haplotypes. All humans DNA can be traced to Africa. A non African means the first Africans who migrated out of Africa

[@bookmouse2719]

Smorgasbord 😉.

[@theodoraanagor6219]

That’s not true about the Igbo, we migrated from North East Africa, because of colonialism ethnic groups were split, so there are Igbo people in Cameroon, the same with Ghanians with Yoruba. African ancestry do share relatives, and they also determine ethnic group. They also do Father’s fathers dna and do do an in-depth using both mother and father.

[@AntonsClass]

It's possible that West Africans in general are descendants from groups who migrated from the Nile Valley civilizations. However, Igbo people are in fact closely related to Edo and Yoruba people. Their language is in the same language family as Edo and Yoruba, and their genetics are West African.

[@theodoraanagor6219]

@@AntonsClass I am Igbo and that is our origin story and I have had it confirmed via dna, the only reason why there is overlap with the Edo people is because there were cross marriages, it was the king of Benin who gave the Igbo people the land we live on now, 2000 years ago we migrated from North East Africa, there are a lot of of similar ethnic groups who migrated west, there are several instances where that happened. There have also Academic studies done that have proven this, but my people cane from further east. As for languages there are cross overs not similarities, it stand to reason since we live so close. Where I am from is called Nri which is the homeland of the Igbo, the first place we inhabited, also the Lemba people in South Africa have a similar history, also the Ewe in Ghana. There are 300 ethnic groups in Nigeria a lot came from other parts of Africa.

I think vikings were an occupation, not like an ethnicity

[@AntonsClass]

You're right to an extent, although many who participated in said occupation tended to be from Nordic regions. I presume it was due to the scarcity of resources in northern Europe, but I could be wrong.

A lot of the Vikings are mixed individuals” with ancestry from both Southern Europe and Scandinavia, and yes there were a few Black Vikings.
