What kind of South Asian ancestry do I have?

[Iloko]

Is 'Pashtun' Caucasian-shifted for example?

Pashtun is like Q haplogroup found in North Asia

India might be O Haplogroup or P haplogroup found in Austronesians, Aeta respectively

Never heard about that test before how good is it compare to ftda?

Seems a lot more colourful detailed and interesting than FTDNA, though I found FTDNA a lil better than 23andme overall in my case, but LivingDNA seems like the best test out of all the ones I've done so far. But FTDNA is still very good, plus you can upload your Ftdna raw data onto LivingDNA and by this January 2019 pay a small fee to get their ethnicity estimate report I believe.

To me LivingDNA picks up all sorts of interesting and mysterious admixtures more ancient in scope than the others IMO

LivingDNA: 10/10
FTDNA: 8/10
23andme: 6/10

Thanks for that important detailed . in this moment I don't know exactly what I'm I could possibly pass as Canary islander so makes me think how much Caucasian + Amerindian and SSA I'm I could possibly be Harnizo with that Amerind of a castizo or less 25%-

What company were you thinking about testing with?

Pashtuns are more Caucasian looking than regular Indians right?

[Zuh]

Probably FTDA and than uploaded to Gedmatch i don't have enough money to cross that border back into that states and get 23andme since don't ship to Latin America.

Yes...

FTDNA is good, as you also get RAW DATA which you can then upload onto an endless number of third-party DNA sites :)

Great. I'm just sorta scared finding out who I'm is this normal? Were you nervous as well?

I was damn excited to see the results and admittedly a lil anxious too, especially upon finding out that different calculators can give wildly different results too lol. It gets addictive playing around with the different calcs too and researching how the history books correlate with the DNA and such which is fascinating indeed. Maybe you can also create a YouTube DNA reveal vid upon seeing your results for the very first time, everyone seems to be doing it these days.

In person I'm very shy but I could possibly try lel.

I have some pashtun as well. Also your middle east might be bleedthrough from a Indian ancestry or Spanish ancestry maybe? Or do you think you have actual middle east ancestry? I suspect that every Indian would score some pashtun, because both you and me score it. And I think if Thambi did it (who is a southindian middle caste) even he would score some pashtun as well. I dont think you can infere your southasian ancestral population from this test or most other tests and oracles it is only possibilities how you might be modeled.

Are you scared of finding out that you have Spanish ancestry?

Pamiris are the most Caucasian.

Are you scared of finding out that you have Spanish ancestry?

I'm scared finding out that I have a lot black admixture on my DNA since I did a research and find out that my dad had several afro mestizo ancestors while my mother side one mestizo and rest Spaniards.

I'm truly a colonial mutt.

It’s probably in single digit percentage.

I think the 'Near East' I score on here is just Spanish ancestry related to the West/Southwest-Asian influences found in Spain, though I could be wrong but think I'm likely right.. though a lil of the South Asian may have got caught up in these components as well

But Indian influence in Philippines is known thru the history books for sure IMO though is probably more ancient in scope than the Spanish obviously.. From Wikipedia:


Ancient history

See also: Hinduism in the Philippines, Religion in pre-colonial Philippines, Indosphere, Indianisation, and List of India-related topics in the Philippines

India had greatly influenced the many different cultures of the Philippines through the Indianized kingdom of the Hindu Majapahit, Khmer Empire and the Buddhist Srivijaya. For at least two millennia before the arrival of Spanish, Philippines was ruled by Hindu kings called Rajahs and Pramukhas. Numerous kings with written genealogies and Sanskrit names were found by Spanish warlords and friars.[4] Indian presence in the Philippines has been ongoing since ancient times along with the Japanese people, and the Han Chinese, and Arab and Persian traders, predating even the coming of the Europeans by at least two millennium. Indian people together with the natives of the Indonesian Archipelago and the Malay Peninsula, who came as traders introduced Hinduism to the natives of the Philippines. Indian migrants have been crucial in the establishment of several Indianized Kingdoms or "Rajahnates" in the Philippines, Rajahates such as that of Butuan and Cebu. Indian Bania converts to Islam brought Sunni Islam to the Philippine islands in the course of trade, which was later enhanced and strengthened by Arab Muslim Sea traders to Mindanao and Sulu Sultanate.[5]

By the 17th century, Gujarati merchants with the aid of Khoja and Bohri ship-owners had developed an international transoceanic empire which had a network of agents stationed at the great port cities across the Indian Ocean. These networks extended to the Philippines in the east, East Africa in the west, and via maritime and the inland caravan route to Russia in the north.[6]

Yep I made several DNA results vids actually, got some positive comments, some hate comments, was told I sound nervous, etc, but still glad I made them lol

Isn't Mexican a nationality, not a race? And would you also call mestizos thinking they are indigenous self-hating?

[Zuh]

Yes Mexican its a nationality they are millions of European looking Mexicans here also many Indigenous but most of us are mestizos like myself I look strongly mixed of Southern Europeans and Amerindian.

But that guy of that video looks almost Quadroon.

[lonewolfcypriot]

I don't understand why livingDNA put Armenia and Cyprus in the same category, how are you suppose to know if your 12% Armenian or 12% Cypriot?

Have any light skin Mexican struggles in your family.

Not at all they actually look like Southern Europeans and they are seen that way unlike that guy looks mixed with obvious black admixture and wants to pass as Euro.

Mexicans in general usually tend to identify more with their Iberian side.. or more with their Native side from what you've experienced? Do they despise SSA admixture in general as well?
