Who owns/funds it?

Unless you don't think that two Black people can own and operate a company, I'm not sure why you asked the question twice.

Can and do are two different things, as you well know. Don't play obtuse here. If you don't know, say you don't know.

DNA ancestry test is arguably the biggest scam of this generation.

In the time it took you to make the last post, you could have tried to find out what you're looking for. The url of the company is LITERALLY in the thread title.

I did, and of course it doesn't say. You're fond of posting these feel-good initiatives, which is fine to an extent; but there's no point to symbolism without substance. Any number of interests could be behind the funding of such DNA research and data archiving, and without knowing who is who you're advocating for people to hang themselves out there for these snakes. Again.

So I continue to ask questions, as should you.

You should still test anyway. Many Nigerians are pleasantly surprised when they get their results back. Many have said, just like you, that they know their history going as far back as 500 years or something and yet surprises always show up.

You have to understand that you have 256 6th Great Grand Parents, 512 7th Great Grandparents, and 1024 8th Great Grand Parents, and it continues to double after that. It’s impossible that people have been able to account for each one. You could have 1 out of the 1024 8th great grandparents that was originally from Ghana Kingdom that was sold south after a war with Mali, somehow made it over to Dahomey, gained his freedom, became a trader, traded goods with neighboring Oyo, took a Yoruba wife, had a daughter, then she marries a Yoruba man, all the way down to you.

You won’t know that until you test. Also, it helps improve the results for Africans around the diaspora as our results fluctuate because of the small numbers of continentals that are testing.

Let’s say I descend from a Yoruba man. If actual Yorubas in Nigeria don’t test, then my results may come up as being from Benin, because the Dahomeys are close in relation to the Yorubas and so the Dahomey/Fon population in Benin would be the closest population my Yoruba DNA matches to due to the small number of Yorubas that actually test. The more continentals that test, the better the Diasporas results will be.

props. both my parents are yoruba but my mum could have some igbo to her.

after the youtube clip in this thread lol, i might check this out. it would be worth it.
