1. She looks mostly Indian mixed with Caucasian

2. I thought she was full Indian….like liquor store indian. Not native american.

3. I thought she was latina at first.

4. you need to do Living DNA

5. You look like one of the local mestizas that I've seen from the Philippines. A half Filipina – half Indian mix.

6. I got mine back from Ancestry DNA and I liked it.

7. She looks like a more ethnically diverse marzia

8. Eres africana

9. My first guess would have been 100% Central India!!!

10. Latasha they test populations and find clusters of similar DNA patterns , then they can match and give ethnicity estimates. as the data base of populations accumulates they get better accuracy with predicting compositions . I find ancestry to be the most accurate of them all. due to their database of european populations.

11. Native American isn't so surprising if one of your parents are from the Caribbean. Native Americans are the natives throughout the Americas and the Caribbean (:

12. you look a brazilian girl from Bahia. they have similar % of european and african 😀 i love it!

13. Que Gata!

14. Let me suck on a titty with yo cute ass.

15. You look typical girl from Kerala which is in south India .if you ever want to see girls similar to you , just visit Kerala ?

16. I was 100% sure that you are Indian . So strange , but I am guessing you get that alot ?

17. Your identify as African American ? Your more than 50 percent WHITE genetically ! A real black woman should slap you upside your head . Stop pretending to be something your not .

18. I know im 100% west African

19. I guessed 80% Pakistan/India, 20% South European….but never thought of Skandinavia or Africa.

20. 56%

21. Your two DNA results have confirmed my suspicions on 23 and me, with regards to the african portion of their results. People who used 23 and me were always puzzled about their low african percentage. Ancestry will score mexicans with an average of 5% african DNA, but 23 and me always scores it 2% or less. What that means is that, all the unassigned portion of your 23 and me result could be your missing african number.
    I was surprised that you didn't know what mtdna is. Your mtdna is your first mother, basically the origin of your being. The two mother's with the largest descendants in africa is L2 and L3. L3 was said to have originated from east africa, while L2 originated from west africa. Both maternal haplogroups are pretty spread all over africa with L2 having more descendants than L3. The reason given for why L3 was the mtdna that left africa and not L2 is because, 60 thousand years ago when the migration happened, L2 was still stuck in west africa. L2 was said to have arrived in east africa about 10 to 16 thousand years ago during the post glacial or holocene period of changing weather patterns. Eventually, L2 spread throughout the entire continent with the much vaunted bantu expansion.

22. I don't understand how you can say you don't know how scientific this is, IT'S ALL SCIENTIFIC, THAT'S THE FUCKING POINT

23. ohh wow this was so interesting! I recently did a DNA test too!

24. The Ancestry DNA one DOES list the countries in West Africa – 16:42 – Benin,Togo, Cameroon, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Nigeria. I’m not sure what more she wants, they are practically all the countries in West Africa.

25. If my great grandmother was from Brazil, is it possible that I have a bit of Native American in me ? (my parents are from Portugal)

26. A MIXED GIRL BUT LOOKS 100% A GIRL FROM INDIA AND CAUCASOID

27. I just sent my Ancestry sample in yesterday after doing 23andme. I'll be interested in seeing the differences. Strange to me that your 23andme showed a lot more Southern European than the Ancestry.

28. I just watched all three of your videos on this subject, and it was very fascinating to watch! My dad and I are very into genealogy and have tracked our family back for many, many centuries. I am now trying to trace my husband's background as well. On paper, we are pretty similar. We're both white, ancestors from the British Isles (he has more Irish and Welsh than I do, but we're both heavily Scottish), and Germany (he has French, I have Hungarian, but both heavily German). We want to do DNA tests for Mother's and Father's Day for each other and we're trying to decide what test to take. He is 100% wanting 23&Me (the full report), and I'm leaning that way too because of all the information it provides. However, my primary interest is genealogy, which Ancestry does a better job at (I like that they break down the ethnic regions more), plus our extensive family tree is already on Ancestry.com. That said, I'm probably going to go with 23&Me… because I think I'd get more overall useful information and I don't think I'd really learn anything I didn't already know on Ancestry (through our extensive genealogical research). It's a tough call… if Ancestry provided all the health and wellness information that 23&Me does, I'd totally go with them (or if 23&Me broke down ethnicities more and migration patterns more, it'd be an easy call for them lol).
    Anyway, I thoroughly enjoyed your videos on the subjects! Thanks for sharing! I know you had received a lot of haters/trolls on your videos that made you possibly regret sharing the information (some people are just assholes, ugh… sorry you had to deal with that), but hopefully I'm in the majority when I say that I find these videos incredibly interesting and informative!

29. Marie Antoinette was an Austrian women who became the Queen of France in the 1700s. That’s so cool that it said you could be related to her

30. This is so fascinating. Thank you for sharing. I just ordered 23andme for myself, mom and dad. I've done Ancestry and will compare results to 23 and me. It's amazing to see that we are all interconnected in the human family and we are individually an amalgamation of humanity. Also, for the health feature do you provide another saliva sample? Were the results revelatory providing info beyond what you might have known from parental health history?

31. Typical african american

32. I know I would like to see the Health portion of the test. I myself don't know about my family history past my Mom and Siblings so I will be taking this test to learn more about myself and family some time soon. It's all interesting to me either way.

33. They are pretty similar which is good (Ancestry 54% European/ 46% African) (23&Me 55% European/ 42% African)

34. hello , just for u know 23andme is a makeup test to african people in east africa so that give them more percentage of African blood and give them more in north africa,, so when they did the ancestry test all of them were highly white and they start complaining ,,, so 23 and me its all hocked for african continent more ,, just for explaining … it just been talked by Africans and African american to remove west Asian from there and now they are hitting more European like 2.5 and 0.1 west Asian ,, its fixed for them ,,,

35. Excellent review. Fascinating subject!

36. nice vid my Queen

37. Might be Basque – a lot of Basque fishermen settled on the East Coast of Canada and a lot of Basques live on the French/Spanish border.

38. 23andme doesn't breakdown my British & Irish into Great Britain & Ireland seperately, maybe because I did my test in 2016, I think that's a very recent development, they perhaps haven't updated mine to that.

39. I've read that the ancestry timeline has been inaccurate and very misleading compared to actual ancestral facts known in the family.

40. Cool results. With your hair straightened I'd have probably guessed you had roots in India. It's interesting that the mixture of African and European that you have can yield a similar look.

    Also, the maternal haplogroup description that mentions passing through the middle east would be much too far back in time to be the cause of the ethnicity estimates in the rest of your DNA. Mitochondrial DNA is passed fully intact from the mother rather than being a mix of all branches of the tree, so it can trace much further back in time. Haplogroup H is common all over Europe – my maternal haplotroup is also H3.

41. ..You can download your raw DNA from Ancestry and upload to DNAland, it will show on their map where your ancestors once lived by the CHECK marks and it's FREE!!

42. Please upload your raw DNA to Familytreedna and get their ethnicity estimate

43. thats cool you did another test Iam thinking of doing a 23 and me test at some point.

44. I want to get another test to compare mine but I don’t got money to spend like that ??

45. I think that Ancestry has a much larger data bank of base line DNA than 23 & ME…. As more people become interested, the data will improve….. The lack of a relationship with your father is unfortunate… I pray that one day there can be some improvement…. The health feature could be interesting… I have been taking many of the 23 & Me surveys just to help build data and maybe help improving some of their "estimates."

46. I would like to see your health results. I have tested with ancestry and 23 and me. I prefer 23 and me.
