If you should happen to have a close match with an African's Y-DNA haplotype, that would be a good indication of the origins of your paternal lineage. The test by African Ancestry that I think you're referring to, isn't considered very valid, because they use a tiny number of markers, so you'll match people in many ethnic groups and countries. The more markers you have tested, the higher the accuracy and reliability of the match.<br /><br />My research project on the A00 haplogroup has resulted in our collecting 900 samples from Cameroon. These have all been tested to at least 18 markers, which isn't ideal, but is much better than what African Ancestry is doing. I also have a large collection of Y-DNA haplotypes from other countries in Africa, which also have had a decent number of markers tested. <br /><br />I'd like to invite anyone interested to let me search this data for matches with your Y-DNA, for a modest fee, much less than $300. If you haven't had a Y-DNA test yet, you can get one from YSEQ at a very reasonable cost, the lowest currrently available. If you match one of our samples from Cameroon, you may get it upgraded to 37 or more markers, so your sample can be compared with it more exactly, and we can estimate your TMRCA. <br /><br />Please, anyone who is interested, contact DNA RootSearch on Facebook or at DNArootsearch.com (This should be on a new web page in the future, but for now, that's where you can get in touch.

But here is lies my question. I also showed a big Japanese DNA marker (21%) on the Japanese calculator. I do have small Siberian/Asian/Amerindian DNA results on other tests & calculators--which minimally supports my known Native American ancestry. Can this large Japanese DNA % be interpreted to reliably support the other Amerindian Siberian/Asian markers AND to strengthen the DNA evidence supporting these "Asian" markers?Ivory Wolf Treasureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04836706263721651320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7606098424948502460.post-87241790301835350552019-02-20T14:51:15.020-05:002019-02-20T14:51:15.020-05:001 North-Africa 41.4

My Ethiohelix results are nearly identical to ...Hi! My Ethiohelix results are nearly identical to yours (also blonde with blue eyes). In the near term, I've mostly descended from the Acadian people... very early French colonists in present-day Nova Scotia. They all ended up in Southeast Louisiana in the 18th century where they mixed with many other ethnicities. While America was still colonial, there was a significant population of people from the Canary Islands that mixed a lot with the now Louisianian Acadians. Spain had long colonized the Canary Islands by the time they immigrated to North America, but going further back, it's believed that they'd been settled earlier by Northern Africans as well as fishing tribes elsewhere around the Mediterranean (they were eventually Hispanized by Spain).<br /><br />I've traced many ancestors with Spanish names on both sides to the Canary Islands (as most people of Louisiana Acadian descent probably can), but my Ancestry.com results (and that of my mom) shows more North African descent than Spanish descent. I can only suspect it's because most of my Canary Islander ancestors weren't actually genetically Hispanic. Over time, they mixed with all the other groups that migrated to or through New Orleans... lots of Sicilians, Irish, and German, as well as Africans brought through slave trade. For various reasons, there was always a lot more interracial and interethnic mixing in the region than elsewhere in the U.S., and that may explain trace amounts of genetics from other regions of Africa, as well as the overall jumble of European heritage. <br /><br />French 75.43 Pct<br />North-Africa 20.79 Pct<br />Omotic 3.07 Pct<br />Khoi-San 0.71 PctA.

However, both of my parents and grandparents were born in Nigeria, West Africa and claimed to be West African through and through. My Ethiohelix Africa+French results were again displaying similar regions to yours but French was very low percentage. This reminded me of stories that had been passed down from my dad's side of the family, growing up my dad had always advised that originally although we are West African, our ancestors were nomadic people and had crossed the Sahara from East to West, specifically Ethiopia. I was also advised by my dad that prior to colonisation, African's identified themselves by their tribe rather than by country borders. Tribes also intermarried which explaines the admixtures in West Africa. <br /><br />In light of the above, although the slaves were taken from West Africa, most West African's have many admixtures from all parts of Africa. On an interested note, having done the Ancestry DNA I discovered that I had many 4th and 5th African American cousins (especially from the Southern States), yet growing up I was told that my family had no slave ancestry. <br /><br />I hope that the above had helped :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13400300184043713640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7606098424948502460.post-83831232013562004902017-10-13T17:14:07.364-04:002017-10-13T17:14:07.364-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13400300184043713640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7606098424948502460.post-15662348219205255572017-10-13T17:12:22.683-04:002017-10-13T17:12:22.683-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13400300184043713640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7606098424948502460.post-63260901256213730092017-10-03T11:36:00.333-04:002017-10-03T11:36:00.333-04:00Hello, I have questions about my ethiohelix Africa...Hello, I have questions about my ethiohelix Africa + French results. My ancestry Dna results are 20% Mali, 7% Nigerian, 4% Southeastern Bantu, 1% Benin/Togo. I am 60% European, mostly Iberian, Italy/Greece, then Irish and French. It also have 4% Native American.<br /> My Ethiohelix Africa+French results are French 48.95%, North Africa 15.61%, Eastern Bantu 10.11%, West Africa, 14.18%, Omotic 8.77%, Biaka-Pigmy 2.36%. I was surprised by the North Africa results and the East African results. Is it showing less Euro and the amount of North African because of my Southern European ancestry? Also, I was hoping you could explain the West African, and East African results compared to Ancesry. Being of African American decent, most of the enslaved Africans came from the West. However, I was pleasantly surprised by those results. Does Omotic mean I’m part Ethiopian?

You're spot on regardi...Greetings Ethio Helix,<br /><br />You're spot on regarding the "uni-directional" bias (ME->EA) embedded in academia. It seems to me that the standard narrative is attempting to project that "high civilization" was imported into Africa (via eastern sphere) by so-called "Eurasian" cultural bearers. Western academia latch to one set of facts ("back migration") but suppress the high possibility of several out migrations that fed and nurtured civilizations such as Sumeria. This same line of thinking follows with "Afroasiatic" languages: That this phylum penetrated into Africa via East when in all probability its origins was in Ethiopia or adjacent region on the African continent. Finally, when I brought this question (origins of Afroasiatic language) to my linguistics professor (Dr. Hailu) then as an undergraduate student, he put forth the analogy "that's like taking your right hand and trying to wrap it around your head to touch your right ear," his words exactly. I'd say this equally applies to the uni-directional "stance" that you mentioned. Please so keep up the good work!Karimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10778118109803071286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7606098424948502460.post-82536525568406609752017-05-24T10:32:38.974-04:002017-05-24T10:32:38.974-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Karimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10778118109803071286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7606098424948502460.post-64399198193781023942017-04-18T13:09:12.944-04:002017-04-18T13:09:12.944-04:00Hi, Ethio Helix

I have some west Asian and american indian. I am about 30% Mediterranean from south Europe. I heard that Sicilian and Spain/ Portuguese are admixed with North African and middle eastern. So I decided to put my raw dna into the ethiohelix Africa + French and it says I'm 81% French and like 16% north african, 1% omotic, 1% hadza, and 1% mbuti-pygmy. I'm confused with breakdown and does that mean my Mediterranean had a lot of North African admixed? What do these African percentages represent?
