Good job OP

There was this site I used that told me both my Paternal and maternal dna. I had to upload my ancestry DNA info and pay like 10 bucks but it was well worth it.

Let me look it up


Edit
The site is called promethease for those who has taken ancestry dna and are willing to find out what their haplogroup is. Also breaks down a lot of other stuff

Haplogroup is on :mjpls: policy. Lol.

I looked up yours.
Asia and Europe!!!

Where are you from?
My maternal haplogroup is actually North/South American. The paternal is Western Europe.

I'm Black American breh lol, 83% West African. Slavery and mixing with Native Americans way back in the day got my haplogroups looking biracial lol. Definitely an outlier.

@Diasporan Royalty

I got my dads Results back

Your maternal haplogroup is older than mine. Mine is L3e2b.

And we share the same paternal haplogroup. Mine originally was E1b1a7a but after further studies, it transitioned to E-P252. Doing some external investigation outside of 23andMe, this haplogroup is the most prevalent among the Yoruba/Dahomey (which are pretty much the same group - one is just on the Nigeria side and the other on the Benin side). So your paternal ancestor was most likely a Yoruba man.

I also have about 4 Yoruba relative matches in the system, which are my only African matches at the moment.

Both my paternal and maternal haplogroups are African. But I'm only about 68% West African.

The average African American male will have a maternal haplogroup that originated in Africa and a paternal haplogroup that originated in Europe which typically starts with the letter "R".

I couldnt really find much on it. :manny:

Other than what 23 and me provided.

I read it's common around Africa and the Americas.

Thanks plus rep.

My fathers side is from Virginia so this makes sense.

My paternal Haplogroup from 23andme:



After more than 100,000 years in eastern Africa, your paternal lineage branched off from its brothers with the rise of haplogroup B-M181, more simply known as haplogroup B. The common ancestor of haplogroup B likely also lived in eastern or central Africa, and his sons and the generations of men that followed them have remained close to their geographic roots.

Years Ago
Origin and Migrations of Haplogroup B-M181
At between 90,000 and 106,000 years old, haplogroup B-M181 is one of the oldest branches in the world. Once thought to have arisen in the central African rainforest, recent evidence suggests that the B lineage originated in eastern Africa during a critical period of human prehistory. Our species was still confined to a relatively small range but had begun to assemble the technological, cultural and intellectual tools it would use to expand throughout the globe.

Today, men who carry haplogroup B-M181 are commonly found among hunter-gatherer groups in the central African rain forest, including the Biaka and Mbuti. They are also found among the Hadzabe, a tribe of hunter-gatherers from Tanzania that also appears to have deep roots in pre-agricultural Africa, and in neighboring populations of central and western Africa, albeit at small frequencies. About 2% of African American men belong to B-M181 lineages today.

I have no African matches yet. I had a strong feeling I wasn't going to have a European paternal Haplogroup.

Doesn't match with my paper trail.

My father's paternal line is the only line I'm hazy on. They were from the Carolinas though.

Your paternal line of B-M181 is related to the KhoiSan people of and Pygmy people. You are literally descended from the some of the oldest people in Africa and on Earth. It is unusual, because a lot of Africans and African Americans have a San and Pygmy DNA, but it is usually inherited as part of of some kind of Bantu DNA. I cannot recall where I read it, but I seem to recall reading that the presence of San/Pygmy DNA in other Africans tends to show that they are Bantu; because the Bantu invaded the lands of the San/Pygmy people and there was a lot of intermarriage.

http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/gnxp/2009/04/the-ancient-origins-of-african-pygmies/#.WoN6pujwZPY

What is your maternal line? That strong Mande line looks like your mother and father have quite a bit of Mande DNA.

My maternal haplogroup is L2c. According to 23andme:

Origin and Migrations of Haplogroup L2c

Your maternal line stems from a branch of haplogroup L2 called L2c. Haplogroup L2c arose in western or central Africa about 18,000 years ago, and its members later migrated throughout the grassland and savannah along the southern coast of West Africa. Today, L2c is most common in West African populations including the Mandenka, Wolof, Fulani, and Balanta, among others. Members of L2c are also found along the route of the Atlantic slave trade from Cape Verde to the Caribbean, the United States, and Brazil.


My paternal haplogroup is E-M263.2. It is a branch off from E-M180. According to 23andme:

Origin and Migrations of Haplogroup E-M180
Your paternal line stems from the E-M180 branch of E, which dominates south of the Sahara. The haplogroup originated about 17,000 years ago in the pockets of western Africa that were habitable at the time, when much of the continent was extremely dry due to Ice Age climate conditions.Over ten thousand years later, men bearing haplogroup E-M180 migrated throughout sub-Saharan Africa, spurred by the dvelopment of agriculture and iron-working in the region.

E-M180 is most common today among speakers of Bantu languages and those related to them; it reaches levels of up to 90% among the the Mandinka and Yoruba of western Africa, where the migrations began. Farther from their origin, E-M180 reaches frequencies of 50% or higher in the Hutu, Sukuma, Herero, and !Xhosa. The lineage is also the most common haplogroup among African-American male individuals. About 60% of African-American men fall into this haplogroup primarily due to the Atlantic slave trade, which drew individuals from western Africa and Mozambique, where E-M180 accounts for the majority of men.

E-M263.2
10,000
Years Ago
Your paternal haplogroup, E-M263.2, traces back to a man who lived approximately 10,000 years ago.
That's nearly 400 generations ago! What happened between then and now? As researchers and citizen scientists discover more about your haplogroup, new details may be added to the story of your paternal line.
