DNA Tests?free by anothergirl(f): 6:56am On May 04, 2017
Do yall trust dna testing? I wonder who does the test, like do they take university students or go to random small communities in villages? Anyone taken one before? 23andme is doing a free test for africans, here is the link: https://www.23andme.com/africa-project/

My parents tested with Ancestry.com and both are from a ton of tribes (their African Portion). What do yall think of these results? How can I figure out actual ethnicity/tribe since the countries are fairly new? Like it lists countries and outdated names like "hunter gatherers"? isn't that kind of offensive? Based on my mom and dad(below) what kind of African would you consider them? Thanks in advance...

My mom is 52% African=
Nigeria 17%
Senegal 13%
Cameroon/Congo 7%
Benin/Togo 5%
Ivory Coast/Ghana 3%
Africa Southeastern Bantu 2%
Africa North 2%
Mali 2%
Africa South-Central Hunter-Gatherers 1%

My dad is African 88%=
Cameroon/Congo 33%
Ivory Coast/Ghana 18%
Senegal 15%
Nigeria 12%
Africa Southeastern Bantu 4%
Benin/Togo 3%
Africa South-Central Hunter-Gatherers 2%
Mali

Try uploading the raw data to dna.land or gedmatch.com. I did both and they give decent info. I wouldnt take ever bit of info from it but if the percentage is high then the likelihood of truth is strong. But dont trust the african ancestry one its a Gimmick.( i know that sounds bad but it's true

Find out where your
ancestors came from, discover their
ethnic background, and trace the roots of
your surname.

o ok. Im sorry I misunderstood. Go to

1.admixture(heritage)
2. Select punt DNA (leave the bullet selection where it is
3. Select punt DNA (Africa Only)

This way it gives way more info. If you don't figure it out this way pm me we'll figure it out

I've done that all the way back to 1830. The information was amazing but it still leaves a major void which is only filled by connecting oneself back to your people who we were forcibly disconnected from.
