Why do some Latinos score a lot of African North?

[CrazyDaisy]

Some of them seem to score about 4 or 5%. I only scored 1%. This seems to be more on the old chip. Is this because i tested on the new chip or am I less woggy than average?

[Mn The Loki TA Son]

I only score 2% on 23andme.

[Peterski]

or am I less woggy than average?

Interesting question... my case is curious... nothing north african but neither northern european. The last is quite common in people with iberian ancestry... Screenshot_2017-04-05-21-54-25.png

Probably because of higher Sephardic Jewish ancestry than normal due to many of them having been expelled to the Americas (also some Moriscos), and also higher than normal ancestry from the Canary Islands

[Carlito's Way]

North African can also be found among black African groups, especially in Fulani people which many were captured and brought over to the Americas as slaves
so some of our North African is due to black African ancestry as well, but it all depends on what group
Because I have seen numerous Cape Verdeans who are pred SSA and have between 5-9% North African

[PunhetaDeBacalhau]

What regions make up the Spain_average?

[Heather Duval]

because they are southern euro descents

[Kriptc06]

Probably because of higher Sephardic Jewish ancestry than normal due to many of them having been expelled to the Americas (also some Moriscos), and also higher than normal ancestry from the Canary Islands

this. Moriscos and Jews.
