Got my results from 23andMe and I am Neanderthal

[Majestyx]

As in Feather.

well there is the theory that africans had already been in america and were smutting out the native americans heavy.

way too many people be trying to claim 'native american' and shyt tho.

I wouldn't say its a theory but more of a fact. Too much evidence proves this was the case.

 

[NZA]

so are they still counting native americans as asians in dna tests?

There's an Asian/Native American category that is further broken down into: East Asian, Native American, and/or non-specific East Asian/Native American. It's hard to tell apart in some cases there are people who are predominantly Native American who have blocks that are mixed with red (NAm) and orange (EA) or Europeans with partial Asian ancestry showing NAm blocks.

My mom isn't mixed with anything and if she is it's very little. It's just some blacks here in america don't want to be from Africa.

 

[yo moms]

Unfortuantely no. It doesn't break down African or Asian yet. Only European. Probably cause their customer base is majority European. But if more people of African descent purchase a DNA test, maybe they will put more work into our ancestry. There are free 3rd party tools that u can use with your 23andme results tho to see an African breakdown. 23andme is a good product for 100 bucks. I did it for free tho

How does one do this for free?

very true very true

Not anymore. I beleive this was doing a time when they first started and wanted african americans to sign up.

fug man....oh well, I gotta head back to Philly soon anyway

 

[tru_m.a.c]

Got my results in today woo! Still waiting on one test result. Didn't expect much of a surprise from my dads side at all. Was more curious about my mothers line (My moms family knows their lineage back to our slave holders. Which happens to be a great great grandfather of mine). Still, its cool to actually see it.

1.3% Neanderthal - 40th percentile

 

[GetInTheTruck]

tempted to do this

 

[GMOGMediaTV]

Submitted mine on August 22nd.

Waiting patiently...

that berber /bantu combo looks like what thousands of years later? What do u look like? And does this mean u should get regular prostate exams?

"Not african." I don't think I look anymore different than anyone else around here. Always had blonde hairs as a kid though. In the summer you could see gold/red hairs on my hairline. Just figured it was normal.

It surprises people when I say I'm Liberian. Folks think I'm halfway joking on some "the white man took my past away and I'm reclaiming my roots" type shyt.

In regards to the prostate stuff, I don't think its something to worry. When you look at the compared to average ratio column, its not exceptionally high.
