5:00 It's not just the islands that have a large amount of people with African ancestry. In Central America, Panama and Nicaragua both boast large Black and/or Black-mixed populations. In South America, you have Spanish-speaking countries like Venezuela, Colombia, and Ecuador having a very visible Black/Black-mixed segment of their population as well.
Fun fact, Puerto Rico was colonized by mostly canarians that's why the Spanish spoken is very similar. The native canarians were guanches who had north African dna. Many Puerto Ricans could have north African dna from there. Jewish dna comes from the Spanish inquisition when moores and jews had to convert to catholicism.
That’s not a fun fact!! That’s not even a fact. You are obviously not Puerto Rican. And if you are? That would give me some second hand embarrassment.
Great video, frat! My mother is from Montserrat, the Emerald Isle of the Caribbean 🇲🇸
Yea, Shay does have Indian features.
I’ve heard that a few times from people who have come in contact with us. Lol.
she do look guyanese a bit, upon first glance i figured that she must have some degree of South Asian heritage. Once she said she has family from Trinidad it made me suspect even more.
Hey José! Great page! Thanks for subscribing! I love watching these ancestry reveals. 🙌🏽
Ayyy! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 Thank you! The ancestry reveals are always really cool to watch. There’s so much to learn about ourselves.
Absolutely love this! We feel connected to certain cultures as well and wonder if there is any connection to our DNA for us feeling that way.
Exactly! I wondered if that was just me! Great minds think alike!
Cool results! When I heard his estimates, I immediately thought he was underestimating the European and overestimating the Native.
That’s because we’re from the Americas. We were already here before the euro and the African got here. We have an attachment to the land we live in and not many people in USA can say that.
Considering all the updates it would be interesting to see if your results have changed.
nice sir🥰wow
Thank you for watching!
1.5k views nice results/my 4 grandparents puerto Rican descent 23 & me results are European 70.9%/ east Asian & indigenous American 14.8%/ sub-saharan African 6.8%/ west Asian & north African 5.7%/
I enjoyed your video and loved your sharing of your heritage. You and Shay both seemed to have done lots of research, which was refreshing to watch. You guys also make a good looking couple! Good Luck with future videos, I'll be watching!
Shay puts me in mind of Phoenix Moon. Just a little. She has a UA-cam channel.
I recently discovered some interesting information about history Latin language origin is from Latium which is in Rome in Italy I believe modern Vacatin City. You can find in the Wikipedia..
Yes. That is correct. Latin is an ancient language that was spread throughout the European continent as a result of the expansion of the Roman Empire. As the Roman Empire expanded, they brought the Latin language with them. Each region of Europe developed the language further and added their own touches.
From that Roman Expansion is how we have all of the “Latin languages” such as Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian, and etc.
jose, being he said pr and antigua i would guess mulatto, made between african and european and would think more african but could be wrong...maybe with a lil bit of native american....shay, i never heard of montserrat, wow, learn something new, but i would think african and indian (hindus etc)...and maybe some or a little bit of european as well maybe even european...wow, 91 percent sub Saharan african, awesome, wow, ok see, even if a person mulatto lite or brown/trigueno, still can come out more european, but cool results, and you both have great knowledge, good looking couple
Jose is 💯 Puerto Rican lol (he represents all day). I’m Antiguan and Montserratian, both countries predominantly African with small percentages of European (British, Portuguese, Irish) and I believe Antigua has a small population of Indian/middle eastern. Honestly Guyana and Trinidad are the Caribbean islands with high Indian heritage.
Thank you for your insights! This was a cool project to undertake and it helps with understanding how connected we are with so many different regions around the world. Thanks for watching! 🙌🏽
The Uk is in north west Europe.
Hello from Antigua
This was really interesting! As a black American, I definitely want to learn more about my ancestry and where my family originated from. Visiting those countries would be so surreal! I hope you both get the chance to visit your origin countries one day.
It’s all about the experiences and developing connections with our roots. Thank you for that! I hope that you are able to connect with your roots one day, as well. 🙏🏽
Italian can be from your Spanish (Romans, and the Spanish Empire), and actually, any European can be from Spain, most Spanish people have small percentages from all over southern and Western Europe, and traces of North African. Hence, the North European can also be Portuguese in the case of the girl. North African is most probably, but not necessarily from Muslims, in can be from the Jews, adn even from ancient times from the Phinitian and Carthaginiean Empire, as wella s the Roman Empire, as all of today's Morocco was Hispania Tangitana. Plus, I don't think it's your case, because your North African is low, but some pople in the Caribbean and in Chile and Argentina get high percentages of North African and the Middle East. In those cases, it is not comming from Spain, but from North African and Middle Eastern mass migrations to those regions in the late 19th century and early 20th century. However, in your case, your North African probably comes from the native Canarian people, who were North Africans, not from Muslims in Spain (the percentages are around 5%, and not everybody has North African ancestry), nor from ancient times, nor from recent migrations. It just comes from your Canary ancestors, who are mostly Spanish + 19% native North Africans.
That was all very insightful. Thank you for contributing to the conversation. I can absolutely see how all of those migrations may play into my ancestry. Have you conducted an ancestry test for yourself?
Am dark with curly hair I believe am a Hausa but nobody has told me.
I think shay is..
76% Sub-Saharan African
15% South Asian
9% European
This was a really great guess, as well! Even though, Shay’s results did not show any South Asian, many people still think she has genes from there. Lol. Maybe it’s the small portion of East African in her that shows through?
@@JetsetJose maybe it's the East African 🤔 lol
@@ivamcole2304 Just might be. Lol.
When it comes to Puerto Rican euro ancestry, we’re half Spaniard and half Portuguese. I’m about 70% European and 30% of that 70 is from Portugal!! Obrigado!! 😂😂
I knew that you were Hispanic from your name but right off the back, I didn't guess that you were Puerto Rican. The way you talk, I can tell that you are a New Yorker.
My accent definitely gives off New York. 😭🗽
@@JetsetJose for sure! 🤣
I think Jose results are
42% European
40% Sub-Saharan African
12% Native American (Taino)
3% Middle Eastern
3% North African
Amazing guesses! That was actually a pretty good breakdown. Did you see how your guesses compared to the final results?
@@JetsetJose yes I did, I was kinda close lol
I m german moroccan and you ricans look a lot like moroccan Ppl. It comes from the Berbers from the canary island and how you said from the moors in andalucia ..
I can definitely understand that. North Africa and southern Spain have a long and intertwined history. Genetic mixing was inevitable and has led to many great fusions such as borrowed words, foods, architecture, and even shared ancestry. I love it!
Except not all Canarians have North African DNA in their ancestry. Also, the reason some Puerto Ricans have a similar look to the middle eastern people and I'm not referring to Berbers is because of their West African and Native indigenous features mixed with their Spanish features give them that look.
@@ChrisM-vz4pe Yessir. That’s the beauty of all of the mixing that has occurred. So many influences and different combinations.
Interesting 🤔
@@JetsetJose No, it hasn't. Marriages were forbidden. Southern Spain has not more North African ancestry than Northern Spain, those are stereotypes, but it's not true. Genetic mixing did exist, but not how most poeple think it did, and was certainly nor the norm, but the exception. Overall, it is western Spain that ended up more mixed than Eastern Spain, the North vs South devide is a foreigner stereotype idea about Spain, which has no historical basis, for most Muslims were not even North Africans, but Native people from Spain, hence they were genetically the same. The fushion you talk about is superficial and almost non-existant apart from some very specific buildings (4 or 5, really) and a couple of dishes. As I explained in a previous comment, North African ancestry in Spaniards is around 5%, and it not only come from the Muslim period, but also from ancient times prior the existance of either Islam or Christianity. It's actually an extremelly low percentage for regions so closed together, which basically means that both regions have ethnic and culturally wise kept their distance from each other as much as possible, the identity and ethnicity (as well as genetic) devide between the two is overwhelming. Compare that same division to France, when Spaniards literally share 91% of their genetics with the French. Though there's some North African admixture in Spain, that percentage does not show great mixing of both populations, but the contrary, it shows a great desire by both populations to not mix at all, and it shows the mix was actually the exception, not the rule. Now, If you were to take ancestry tests in North Africa, they do have quite a lot of Spanish ancestry, sometimes over 20%, that because Muslims would carry out mass deportations of Native Christians to North Africa, plus sell Christian women as sexual slaves, thus you end up with a significant percentage of Spanish genetic in North Africa. Plus, when the Catholic Monarchs expelled the Muslims, as I've said before, most of those Muslims were native people who had willingly or forcefully converted to Islam, so most of them would probably be genetically more Native Spanish than they were North Africans. Since most returned to North Africa, there they added to the Spanish genetics in North Africa. Over all, the mixing was extremelly rare, and it mostly occured on the Muslim side since they would take Christians slaves and sometimes amrry CHristian women as Muslims were initially very few, and grow up their kids in the religion of islam, so muslim community would become larger. However, on the Christian side, mixed marriages were far less common, though they did happen from time to time, among the elite, mostly, both populations were completely devided into different gethos. But due to the slavement of Christians and massive deportations of native Christian people first, and mostly genetically native Hispanic Muslims later, North Africa ended up with quite significant amount of recent Spanish ancestry.
u look 100 African i have cousin like u
Your Spanish Ancestors for being both from Andalusia & Canary Islands descent were very much "cleansed" for you to be less-than 1% askenazi/north african that's extremely low! I've seen Americans/northwestern euros/Dutch person score higher MENA than that. Oh and FYI Morrocons score higher Spanish blood than Spaniards score North-African blood, just an interesting tidbit this is because it was a religious war it didn't matter if they were ethnic spaniards if they were muslim they were expelled too.
Cool. Lol we’re all like literally from the same african regions. Check out my my latest dna results on my channel. I got picks of myself on the previous video. As far as us Hispanics we can’t escape that Spanish and Portuguese blood. That North African really got me wondering. I feel like we all got that also.
Nice! The most probably reason I can think of for having the same regions of Africa across the Latin diaspora is that the colonial powers would take the slaves from these regions to the New World.
As for the North African genes, that most likely comes from the mixing during the times when the Moors were in the Iberian peninsula. Plus the proximity of North Africa to Iberia is really close. The Strait of Gibraltar is very narrow!
@@JetsetJose Definitely! Interesting tho. I’m surprised I even got Nigerian. Mostly the part that I’m from people came from Cameroon and Congo, but I guess I’m mostly west African and literally everything. Funny, I thought you’d be more Nigerian since Puerto Ricans I notice have high Nigerian. I guess some Nigerians were more populated in some part of Pr than others. Crazy how we got the same african, Spanish, North African blood and indigenous but your native people is the Taínos and mine a different tribe. Cool tho and here I thought y’all were something more different. I’m very indigenous but I look more Spanish and african in between 😂
@@afroboy-akaspanishboy3685 Lol. Yes, ancestry is very interesting. I thought I would have more Nigerian, but hey, I guess I’m different. 😂😂😂 There are differences, but there a lot of similarities.
@@JetsetJose lol. I had 10% Nigerian in ancestry dna at first but not anymore 😭😭😂. I’m Congolese now 😂💪🏿🇨🇩. I looked at my relatives on 23andme and on my dads and I got bunch of cousins from Puerto Rico and Cuba and so does he. We Mexican so I’m confused 🤔😭😂
@@afroboy-akaspanishboy3685 They might be long-lost relatives. Have you messaged them through 23&Me?
You can definitely pass for North African
I can see that being a possibility. We’ll see how well I can blend in when I finally visit the region. 🙏🏽
@@JetsetJose lol yes you will see.
@@ShanayBraxton 😂😂😂
Sephardi ❤️mi gente 🙏🏾 I’m ALL that loko y massss 🤦🏾♂️ k sucio 🤣😝🤣soy ... 🙏🏾 YO WE IN DIS B***** ✊🏾🧬✊🏾 I❤️mom ⚖️ 🩸🐍
That's funny, Spain the moore's were black.most people don't realize that the original Arabs were black.
don't reference your self as Indien your great great mother was African she was insulted by colonialism and indiennes !
