Actually anyone with Scandinavian DNA today would not have gotten it from Vikings, DNA tests only show ancestry form within the last few centuries to around the 1600s at the very furthest which is long after the Vikings had stopped doing their thing so even if you had a Viking ancestor from 1000 years ago ti wouldn't even show up at all in your test results.

Inviting a brazilian to make this test was a great idea, since our population is so ethnically mixed that a great part of us can't even have much certain about where it is from. We have imprecise ideas, like maybe 95% of us are descendant from the portuguese, african and indigenous (which makes weird that the brazilian guy got impressed for his 6% african heritage: almost all of us is), but these are, in almost all cases, imprecise ideas...

[@FOLIPE]

Giullian Rodrigues the scandinavian part was more surprising.

Giullian Rodrigues I knew some scandinavians had come but I was still like... Wow. Maybe he has some particular late immigration (20th century or so) heritage, so he'd be less shocked about scandinavia than africa but still.

[@pedrosimoes3486]

Actually having over >20% of scandinavian heritage is normal result for the iberian people (Portuguese and Spanish). Iberian peoples commonly have this genetic pool from major to minor: Iberian, Italian, Western Europe, North African and Scandinavian.

So indirectly, if he descends from Iberian settlers he will have all that heritage

He is considered 100% Finn though. If you notice, Asian countries even have words similar in spelling to Finnish words or names…..for example: Joki, Maki…..you will see lots of “k” and “I” and “y”…”u”. What makes Finns similar as well to our Asian family is the structure of our eyes and eyelids…. My guess he is from Haplogroup N. It covers over to Finland, all the way over to North Asia….down to Vietnam.

[@Abiodun92]

I think MyAncestry has some problems with it's results since it seems to give everyone a couple of percentages Finnish. I think the "Finnish" that Chandler has is more likely Yakut DNA. I'm basing this on the fact that he also seems to have a lot of Mongolian ancestry, so it isn't too far-fetched considering that Yakuts live quite close to Mongols and Buryats. Finns and Yakuts both carry Y-DNA haplogrou N1c-m46, about 75% of Yakut males have it and so do 60% of Finnish men.

[@mariamesquita1105]

NO* born N*, N1* and N1A-N1B- are all gathered in Southwest China, O3 is China's dominant paternal line, O1 China southeast, O2 in Southeast Asia - Japan - Korea. The youngest offspring N1C migrated to Siberia and fused in the YDN-C's wife MTDN-CDG in the central and Siberia Mongols, but most of the N1c gathered in the northern region of Siberia. Mongols YDNA-C is in the middle of Siberia. Before migrating, a N1C was migrated from Northeast China and separated from Siberia N1C. This has been moving westward to N1C to northeast Europe, merging Nordic women. The Mongols Y-DNA is C, the Finn - Sami people - northeastern Europe does not have this gene, suggesting that N1C migrating to Europe does not stay in central Siberia and C fusion.

[@jaygod606]

Mongols, Siberia, Chinese, Korean, and Japanese share a large proportion of MTDNA- matriarchal women, MTDNA-DCMGZ, and these are women with the evolution of Mongolia C in Northeast Asia of Siberia. This maternal Siberia Aboriginal 90%, Mongolia, Korea, Northeast Asia 70-80%, China 60%. NO* entered China to steal the women of the Mongolian ancestor C. It all happened ten thousand years ago. The Mongol C brothers, the Australian Aborigines, have separated for thousands of years and evolved different races. The Mongols C evolved the character of the primitive Mongolia. The Australian C has a black character.

The thing is tho, If you’re for example 87% European And 13% Asian you will most likely look like a native European, looks already say enough. (Btw race goes much deeper than just skin color) And as to genetic tests, they don’t really say much about ones origins, if I had to explain it in one comment it would become ridiculously long, so I’d recommend you to watch ThuleanPerspective, he has made a few videos on this topic. You should start with a video of his called: What does science tell us about our origins? One more thing, Nationalism is not racism.

[@aneni]

Teofil Giray well does it matter if you look like one or the other, my point is that taking such sick pride in your nationality or race as far as to hate people for being something different is plain stupid, there's no "pure" blood or "pure"-YOUR-something, you're basically a mixture of everything.. if I were to say I'm super proud to be white and European, my dna would show that there's a percentage of Middle east Asia, some Turk, Arab or maybe even Jewish in me, so what am I really being proud of? I'm proud of being a human who can feel at home wherever in the world he goes.. but then again people deceive themselves into believing one is better and superior than the other, because... logic? I'm sure happy to see one who hates French gets to learn he had some French ancestors, and quite frankly, white people, they're never just "white". ..not the same, but equally stupid.

[@jackieblue1267]

Some people do end up being 100% or almost of certain categories e.g. Basques, Finnish, Irish. These tests are based on modern populations so it depends on how closely you match some of the samples. They aren't really going to show older admixture. They are really designed to show how closely you match modern populations so a lot of admixture will be hidden. People take the tests too literally. The biggest consumers are Americans who just want to know what populations they match in the last 200-300 years. Gedmatch is better for showing older admixture.

Half of my family is white, my father and part of his family's side is black, and my maternal grandmother is clearly a mixed race of indigenous with whites. So I imagine it to be the basic mix of Brazilians: African, Indigenous of South America, and Iberian.

Funny how the Brazilian wasn’t surprised about being Native, but he was surprised that he was a little African 🙄🤦🏾‍♂️ I hope he was joking 😪

[@gomes2151]

Unfortunatelly, many brazilian people deny african heritage...he at first said that Brazil was colonized by Portuguese and Spanish as if indian and black people were invisible for brazilian social standards. Indians (in spite of slaughter) for centuries have being seen as a kind of ''moral paradigma'' of some brazilian writers and poets that saw in indigenous people virtues renegade to another people like former afro-brazilian slaves. Lima Barreto, an afro-brazilian writer said that in Brazil is better being indian than be black people. Brazil is a racist country(veiled racist), but there is a myth of ''racial democracy'' that endures up till now here..

[@gomes2151]

Dani, surely that you don't know about the Brazilian State eugenic politics (c19th, c20th) that promoted imigration of Italians, Germans, Polish, etc seeking a kind of ''whitening'' of Brazilian people, following racial theorists that said that Brazilian people only will be civilizated if they got ''white blood'' in its social composition . This is the reason why some people in Brazil have more than 60% of european dna in spite of being ''phenotypical' black. Brazilian myth of racial democracy comes from this ''whitening'' racial policies These eugenic politics(these papers can confirm) were successfuly done, but veiled brazilian racism goes on until now - you can got 60% of ''white'' DNA but if you have black phenotypical features your place is on''service elevator'' (a Brazilian apartheid icon)... www.scielo.br/pdf/hcsm/v16n3/en_12.pdf www.scielo.br/scielo.php?pid=S0104-59702016000900093&script=sci_arttext&tlng=en

Faz todo o sentido na medida em que a união entre os dois reinos só se deu no papel.

Sem contar as pessoas comuns.

[@elenedhelvoronwien7403]

Missões não era do Brasil inicialmente, era tecnicamente território espanhol, só passou a ver brasileira depois de tratado. É óbvio que os povos do Rio Grande teriam uma maior incidência de DNA espanhol visto que até metade do século 19 era uma região muito mais chegada com as colônias espanholas do que com o Rio de Janeiro e o resto do Brasil, mas daí dizer que espanhóis colonizaram o Brasil é muito errado e longe da verdade. Essas empresas de teste geralmente colocam portugueses e espanhóis no mesmo balaio assim como italianos e gregos porque não têm data o suficiente para dividir DNAs tão próximos, não quer dizer que não exista uma divisão. E por último, colonização implica uma mistura de "sangue" e cultura do país colonizador, o Brasil sempre foi diferenciado do que resto da América do Sul justamente por ser culturalmente lusitano ao invés de hispânico. Então de forma nenhuma dá pra dizer que a Espanha também colonizou o Brasil.

Well, her results did say 23.7% Balkan, and geographically speaking Greece too is in the Balkans. Thou, when I hear Balkan I automatically think of South Slavs, which I think this test is referring too. Just saying "Balkan" is too loose of a term imo. Historically Greek were friendly and intermixed with some of the Balkan Slavs, so that DNA can potentially come from a Greek person. She did say that she's half Greek, so if her dad is Greek, it's very possible that it won't show on a DNA test. That's because in females they can only track maternal DNA. I'm not too sure about that, I'll have to research it a bit more.

Jeff Morse Actually “race” has nothing to do with DNA as race is not a scientific, biological, or genetic term. It is a socio-political term to stratify human beings for social, political, and economic gain. All these tests do is compare your alleles to various reference panel groups. Nothing more and nothing less. By the way, the continent of Africa contains the most genetic diversity than ALL continents combined. Thus, an indigenous African group is genetically distinct from another indigenous group 10 miles away.

I knew I was of mostly Spaniard and Mexican heritage because my maternal grandfather had been born in Taluca, Mexico, but his mother was born in Spain and emigrated to Mexico. My other grandparents had all been born here, but the great-grandparents had mostly came from Mexico, yet the great-great grandparents were from Spain. And, yes, my last name originated from Spain in the Castille region in the 1500s. I somehow knew I had Jewish running through my blood because of my paternal family. Not to be stereotypical here, but most of my dad's relatives - my grandfather and one of my aunts and maybe some other relatives - handle money very frugally and are not so prone to being so "feisty" and "affectionate". I suppose I shouldn't have been THAT surprised about my other heritages since Spain colonized Italy for a time, Arab regions have conquered countries like Spain during the Crusades. Greece, Italy and Spain, together, possibly have been conquered one or the other. Now, for the Nigerian and Finnish blood? I don't know where that even came from.
