Which DNA test is best for African Americans?

[Mike Nasty]

I did 23andme. I know my great Grandmother was Cherokee, but it only shows me 0.8% indigenous which doesn't seem right.

I tried to get my brother to do ancestry.com, I might just do it myself.

Brother, it isn't complicated. Either wasn't Indigenous, had very little or she wasn't your GGmother. There are whites who discovered that Native ancestry that they were told is really Afrikan ancestry after taking the test.

Then either your grandmother was only partially Cherokee or you didn't inherit a lot of DNA from her.

Another issue that exist is that a lot of Americans are not actually descended from Native people.

I think it has more to do with ever changing sample size (or lack of Indigenous sample size). The only white person in family tree the was a slave owner, and it shows specific counties in England. It doesn't say European, it says U.K. I should be more Indigenous than white.

It could also mean that Indians and Black were mixing with each other long before the 1800s

But you're not. Post your results are at least copy and paste the breakdown.

while Geechie/Gullah people that are 90%+ SSA only get the basic "Nigerian" or "Angolan/Congolese" categories.

Won't be doing 23andme then

So was everyone else and their results show up just fine. Hispanics do it all the time and the results show both.

Sorry but I will never take these DNA tests because I saw an video about two real sisters doing it and the results came back different for both of them. They even did the test on a horse and it came back with results like it was a fukking human being. shyt is a damn scam to me.

It’s a real reason why DNA testing is illegal over there in Israel, not just because it’s a scam, but it would prove that them clowns aren’t the real natives to that country.

@Afro

Neither… don’t just willingly give your dna to the gov

 

[Majestyx]

If you have ever been to a doctor, a dentist, a clinic or a hospital and they took blood or urine from you then they already have your DNA. That is how Henrietta Lack's DNA got into scientists hands. She went to her doctor and then they put her in the hospital.

dont be brining that logic in here sir. these dna tests are nefarious and the only way the government can get your DNA.

Also I got my results as well

It says the sample was taken by populations dating back several centuries ago

The results were-

60% South Carolinian foundational black American
40% North Carolinian foundational black American
100% foundational black american


Lucky I avoided all the goofy shyt to “know where I came from” like a lot of you guys
