She does NOT look that SSA. And her Amerindian is very high for an African American.

[jerney]

She is pretty light skinned and light eyed, but she obviously had a nose job. I'd guess she's 65-70% SSA

I thought she would be atleast 30-35% European.And her Amerindian is very high for AA.

[Argentano]

Would have expected less ssa

[Nurzat]

her parents are full negroes?

[sql]

Why is it just British? wtf?

[Petalpusher]

I think she looks 75-25, without makeup/young :

Her results were probably simplified for the article.

Maybe without makeup and relaxed hair she would look more African.

My big Y result came back as Frankish-Norman subclade.

My exact match at no known SNP difference is a Dutchman but they descend from the Franks. Old Franconian became modern Dutch.

Ok without makeup she does look African. Just light. Her features are very SSA.

That's a bad pic, we all have those days even you.

[Carlito's Way]

a lot of african americans can look more european than what they are genetically, lets not forget they have a very mixed black african background, many also have Nigerian ancestry and theres a Nigerian tribe where light skin blacks like her are common

this Afram results really caught my surprise, to me she looks less black than Tyra Banks

You’re right. Also consider that she just about matches the average 80% SSA for African Americans.

[Catkin]

She scores more British than I do with Ancestry :p

[The Blade]

To me she looks 3/4 Black and 1/4 Euro. I don't see Amerindian.

[decordoba]

She looks kind of Nubian. This is not SSA but they might have a lot of SSA admixture - not sure

Compare Naomi Campbell - slim an tall - not as heavy body like Sudan SSA (from Sudan to Nigeria)

[Iloko]

If she got 6% Amerindian on AncestryDNA I wonder how much she would get on 23andme.

They look to light for people who are 80% subsaharian

[Sikeliot]

This one surprises me. If not for his nose he could pass as white.
