Post your DNA.LAND results

[Dominicanese]

I already opened a thread about my DNALand results, but here they're again:

damn your like me but waaayyy more euro lol

[Dominicanese]

nice

crazy how it has at 2% west african, but im sure thats extremely ancient

are you aware of that 2%? like if do u know how it got there, in your ancestry

[alnortedelsur]

damn your like me but waaayyy more euro lol

You're a bit more European, probably a bit more African (not sure), and much less Amerindian than the Venezuelan average.

And I have about the same racial breakdown (as individual) as Uruguay as a whole, including that my Euro side is mostly an Iberian/Italian mix, just like in Uruguay

I'm not sure, however, if the overall European input in Uruguay is around 83-87% (like mine) or a bit less than that.

I dont think its extremely ancient, it must date from colonial times, to be precise around 1650-1700 that someone carrying those genes entered my genealogy (likely already watered down). What surprises me though, is the way they can accurately pin-point it to Mende/Akan. Never even heard of those groups, I will have to read up a bit on it.

ah ok, yes its quite possible

are you european from europe or American?

and that mande/akan id take that with a grain of salk (as the folks here on TA say lol), reason why i say that is because DNA.land is not the best when it comes to SSA origins, iv try to find the best dna for that that are free, but the best one for that is AncestryDNA, in DNA.land it had my mande/akan somewhat higher than usual. But in reality im Benin/togo & Nigeria predomiantly (my ssa side) largely of Fon origin. Fon is not present in DNA.land thats why its hard to take serious

but that 2% SSA is plausible yes (but not the origin), but what does that mande/akan can tell u is that your def west african on your ssa side

yeah true

your very euro for the average venezuelan, are you fully colonial venezuelan or mixed with spaniard? i think you told me you had recent iberian ancestry no?

im colonial btw, my fam has been in the DR since the beginning (1500s) but most of them came from canarians that came over in the 1700s during the "tributo de sangre" to prevent french occupation, ofc mixed with some slaves (mostly & likely 1700s as well) and the natives (the natives in the beginning as any other country in the NW 1500s). proly my pheno is venezuelan from not just tyhe mixeture but also the canarian influence/migration, i know venezuela recieved thousands

Yeah, my mom is a full Spanish born in Mallorca Spain, and she is almost full Mallorcan native, except for a paternal grand grandma of her (grandma of her father) who was from Cordoba, Andalusia. My mom immigrated to Venezuela with her parents when she was only 5 years old, since my maternal grandpa was a republican fleeing from Franco.

Then, my dad is Venezuelan from Barinas state. Judging by my 23Andme results (in which I am about 87% European) it can be inferred that my dad must be around 74% Euro, 14% Amerindian and 8% SSA.

Nearly all Boers have some Sub-Saharan admixture (according to mlukas who found several Boer kits). It is probably from the 17th century, when they first mixed with local Bantus and Khoisan.

The more mixed ones became Coloureds, while the slightly mixed ones became Boers.

What surprises me though, is the way they can accurately pin-point it to Mende/Akan.

I guess it isn't so accurate. It should rather be from some South African group, right?

Loki's profile says Ethnicity: Boer

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boer

Attachment 65193

West Eurasian: 99%
-Northwest Euro: 82%
-Arab/Egyptian: 10%
-Sardinian: 3.5%
-Central/South Euro: 1%
-Ambiguous: 1.6%
East African: 1.4%

I think this is a load of crap, given that I'm part Sicilian and it didn't pick up any of that, yet it called me an Arab...zheesh.

I think Sikeliot will tell you everything about similarities between Sicilians and Lebanese.

The incidence is usually between 0% and 3%, from what Ive seen. I have a few on 23andme who show 100% Euro. And no, they didnt mix with local Bantus (there was no contact with Bantus at that time yet). The SSA is from (mostly West African) slaves.

I guess it isn't so accurate. It should rather be from some South African group, right?

See my remark above. All analyses I have run on mine show up as West African.

As Litvin said, I am a South African Boer/Afrikaner -- predominantly of Dutch origin, and some significant French Huguenot.
