Cool results. I’m 40% Indian, 53% African, 6% European, 0.3% Indigenous and 0.7% unassigned, it shows “Indian Diaspora” as one of my Communities. My mom’s main background was North Indian, Punjab specifically.
Wow those are interesting results as well- I need to look more into the Indian diaspora - …When you say .3% indigenous, is that north, south, Central America? Or one of the Caribbean islands?
@@pseudoguru9523 Yes, the Caribbean. In addition to my Indian background, I also have Jamaica as well to be exact. The indigenous people of Jamaica were Arawaks, see a little fun fact below: "The original inhabitants of Jamaica are the Arawaks, also called Tainos. They came from South America 2,500 years ago and named the island Xaymaca, which meant ““land of wood and water”. With regards to the Indian diaspora, my mom's ancestors were Indentured Laborers from India to the Caribbean (in the late 1800's, significant Indian populations taken to Jamaica, Trinidad, Guyana, etc) --hence one of my Communities is "Indian diaspora". If you have a parent directly from India, it probably wouldn't say "Indian Diaspora" but instead just "India" or something to that sort... We are all of a melting pot. :)
@@pseudoguru9523 Yep, it's crazy indeed, and ppl have mistaken me to be Dominican (stereotype I guess). And to be honest even though 0.3% indigenous is basically nothing, I really wasn't expecting to see any indigenous as I was told they've became “extinct” especially in the non-hispanic islands shortly after the arrival of Christopher Columbus, so very surprising that I got 0.3% lol. I only knew about the Afro-Jamaican and North Indian background.
Hi there! This was an awesome video! I’m mixed also. My roots are Indian (from Fiji and Trinidad), Black/Creole (from Louisiana and Texas, but also connections to Haiti), and European (English and French). I always find it so cool when I see someone else who is “Blindian.” We are a rare group 😅😅😅
Thanks man! Rare indeed but I’ve surprisingly met a few over the years…you got one of the most unique mixes I’ve seen though - you should post a video 💯
Very cool ethnicity profile bro! You're embracing your Indian side with the math teaching :) ..are you sure you didn't want to become an accountant? haha just jks bro. We have something in common in that I have a very similar percentage breakdown in terms of three distinct regions - I'm also roughly 50% Indian and around 25% European but the 3rd region in my case is 25% East Asian. So good to be celebrating and embracing diversity, such a cool mix you are! Thanks for sharing your results my friend, namaste
Namaste brother! If I go back to school then it’ll be with something in the medical field or computers lol! Your breakdown is super interesting too bro…just saw your video and looks like I should try My Heritage as well…Thank you for sharing your results too- upload more videos for us- hell we may even be related if you take DNA Ancestry 😂
@@pseudoguru9523 Cheers bro! That would be cool to study medicine.. you mentioned somewhere your Dad was a doctor right? Thanks for checking out my vid, glad you found it interesting. You can actually upload your raw DNA file to a whole heap of other DNA sites to get a free ethnicity report, such as MyHeritage, DNA Land, Gedmatch, Wegene (wegene will give your haplogroup as well!)
Oh wow, really? I’m looking into that today! thank you 🙏🏾- I’m extremely curious to see my results from these other companies …and I’m also addicted to watching DNA results lol- if I see you matched as a 4th cousin then I’m heading out there 😂😂
@@pseudoguru9523 Yeah bro! You're welcome to visit any time...well as soon as Australia lifts the bloody travel ban haha You tested with AncestryDNA right? I'm actually on ancestry too after I paid for a separate kit with them following the initial MyHeritage test. The results are a bit different on Ancestry, but as I mentioned you can upload your Ancestry raw data file to heaps of other platforms which will all give you different ethnicity results based on each companies unique algorithm and reference populations. Some will be more consistent with each other than others, but you'll be able to see a strong correlation of where they all agree. Definitely upload to MyHeritage, Gedmatch and the others I mentioned. I'll be curious to see your results on the other platforms. It gets addictive indeed!
Haha, I seen your Ancestry DNA video several times! I use that and other videos you’ve made to help explain the questions about how we identify. Fue un placer, loca 🇩🇴
@@pseudoguru9523 Really?? Haha nice! If you're ever interested, I would love to interview you, being that you're of a mixed heritage, I think the audience would like it 🙂
Most definitely I’d be down to do that right after my next video! Posting next week most likely…and if you could do it on a Thursday, that be even better for my schedule. Just a heads up, I only grew up with my mother so I’m not too familiar with my Indian roots 😬
My family is from Trinidad. Your DNA results are almost identical to ours. We are also between 54 to 57% combination of North and South India. Our great grandmother was 100% African and our DNA shows 25% African. Amazing how our results are so similar
Wow -yes -that is amazing. I knew many people from Trinidad when I was growing up and there definitely was a strong Indian and African background…so it always felt familiar. Gotta love these blends 💯
There’s a range of inheritance, You can inherit as much as 35% from a grandparent and as low as 20% For a great grandparent you can inherit as much as 17% and as little as 7% but the average is 12% Genetics are weird, it’s like shuffling a deck of cards.
Yes these numbers seem consistent with my results and others I’ve seen on UA-cam… uploading the updated results soon só stay tuned for that - have you uploaded yours?
Can I please ask, how do you know you can inherit as much as 35% from a grandparent? I understand you will generally inherit 50% of your genes from your parents (each) & the actual proportion is not necessarily half from 1 parent & half from the other etc etc. But I’m interested to know where the research came from that explains as much as 35% can be inherited from one side - which means the other parent is only donating 15% of their genetic material to their child. The continent of Africa is huge and very diverse. You have black people with different features who live there. Not all black people look the same. Ok. peace and thanks 🙏😏 Looking at all that Asian you have, are you sure you don’t also have some family (Indian) from one of the British colonies. Sir Africans are also good at the math & science. Remember Egypt (Kemet), Mali etc, etc,
@@elainem6832 Hola! I’m assuming that last little bit of the message you left was meant for me…Of course, I know all groups of people have individuals that are advanced in math and science. (And my father was born in Mumbai and is the first known person from his family to live outside of India so I imagine none of my Indian DNA is attributed to the British colonies in the Americas.) Me and all my friends are mixed/black and we all graduated with math/science degrees. I simply attributed the largest part of my life/talents, to the largest part of my DNA breakdown because of my specific history. I can’t come on a video and say I’m good at everything I’m good at, because of my African DNA breakdown…what would that leave for my other my regions?…so I tried to find little things here and there about my life that may link me to my different regions(that may show some noticeable exceptionalities in certain categories) so that they can be praised/appreciated. Imagine if I said my mental and physical abilities are all from my Indian background…would that sound right? What if I said my mental and physical abilities are all from my African side…would that sound right? The truth is, all of my mental and physical abilities are attributed to a complex mixture of several different factors that go beyond “Nature” and goes into “Nurture”(how we were raised). Since I’m 50% Indian and my father (who is 100% or near 100% Indian) is the math genius between my parents, I simply made the connection. It would not make much sense for me to say I inherited my innate ability for math from my mother, when she is not as advanced as he is in that category. In reality, the traits and characteristics of all groups of peoples on earth is fairly/approximately equal…but not exactly 100% equal (if we somehow were able to quantify it)…usually, you can find some traits and characteristics that are a bit more common in some groups than others. I like to praise these exceptionalities from the different groups. I know this is not the same as mathematical ability but just to steer away from mental characteristics for a second, let’s say, for example, you are a person with blue eyes…and you have one parent that is a blue eyed European and another parent that is a brown eyed African…it would make sense for you to say that your blue eyes are a European characteristic in this specific case. But does this statement mean that there are no people in Africa or of African decent that have blue eyes? No- it just a simple connection made based off of the information you have. I know all about Atlantis, the Pyramids, the different forms of ancient math, etc. that Is attributed to Africa…id like to make some videos on Atlantis and the pyramids of Giza actually…but Europe, Asia, and the Americas have their own wonders of mathematics as well …the Bosnian pyramids, the Mayan pyramids/calendar, puma punku, etc. I hope this makes it clear that intelligent people may come from any part of the world whether it be India, a country in Africa, or anywhere else. I appreciate you letting everyone else know about the greatness of Africa as well. Thank you 🙏🏾
@@PsychicMedium4747 Thank you! I wish I knew how because movies/shows have always been that fantasy career of mine(but I think it is for most, right?).

Great results. DNA is very interesting. My mother is African-American and my father is a native of Orocovis Puerto Rico 🇵🇷. I am 62% African, 32% European and 6% Native American.

@@jo100 Wow, very interesting results!(not sure why UA-cam hides your comments from me but I seems to get these messages delayed). Both companies had you at 91-92 percent African so that seems pretty accurate. I’m going to post my 23andMe video soon…I also noticed 23andMe picked up your Native American blood…Did you know about your Native American ancestry before this test? PS- Did you have to pay extra to get the information pertaining to the historical figures you share DNA with? I noticed they linked you to Pharaoh Ramesses III
@@pseudoguru9523 Yes, I remember when one of my Relatives told me that there was Native American from my Mother side of the Family, way back in the day, and I did AncestryDNA in 2017 and 23andMe in 2019, so I can save Money that, my Friend.
@@jo100 So you and I are in the same boat there. I was always told we had Taino roots growing up so to confirm it through the test is really satisfying in a weird way lol. I was born in DR and some of my ancestors go back to the days before anybody arrived from the other continents. So there is a more special connection to the land. I appreciate you stopping by, brother. 23andMe will Be up soon 💯
Thank you brother! …but I think there is a mystical thing about being about having large or near pure percentages as well…especially for Native Americans…but it really goes for all regional groups of people. What were your two?
@@pseudoguru9523 Interestingly, I am actually all Slavic with 73% ancestry from the Carpathian Mountains of current southern/southeastern Poland, and 27% from Croatia.
Ahh, mountain people ancestry has a nice ring to it! I had some regions highlighted in those regions so I’ll def be trying other DNA companies to see a better breakdown, if possible. Thanks for sharing brother 😎
3% of any ethnicity is actually quite a bit. It likely means you have ancestor around 5 generations back, give or take a couple of generations, that was 100% native Carribean, which should be findable. Any Catholic parish records from the 1800's, from anywhere in the western hemisphere could possibly identify someone as being indiginous. In the French Catholic parish records of what are now Missouri & in Québec, in the 1600's & 1700's, priests used the French terms "sauvage" or "sauvagesse" to refer to native americans. I'm sure Spanish Catholic parish records would be similar.
Wow- I really appreciate this! I had very little faith to find this because I’ve heard many territories in DR have very unorganized records…I’m searching online right now but I’m definitely going to continue following up and see if I can find a way to access the Spanish Catholic parish records in DR for my family …my family is mostly from the north so that narrows it a bit. I’ll be looking for “Indio” I’m sure…thanks again-seriously!! 💯
I'm jamaican. I had india too and central Asia also Mayan inca European and Africa. Indians are not usually in dr. I love everything about india my great grandparents are from India.
Oh wow you got a crazy cool mix, brother! I love India and I can’t wait to go. Yea, my father was actually born in India and went to DR for medical school. He said the only Indians he knew there were attending the school…but it was quite a bit. However, many moved out so not too many over there anymore I’m sure. I’m sure people would appreciate an upload of your results…DNA results that span the world is crazy-Thanks for stopping by, brother
I’ve watched so many UA-cam videos of people revealing their results and you’re probably the only person so far who doesn’t have British heritage lol. I feel like I need to high-five you for somehow not getting that 😅 (No hate to the British at all I’m just surprised). I’m waiting on my results and the first half of your video reflects exactly how I’m feeling right now 😂 I feel like I’ll be at least 50% Scottish then Irish and then maybe Scandinavian. I don’t think my results will be that much of a surprise tbh. Awesome video though and I’m glad that you were able to see where you’re from, amazing results ! 😁
Gracias! I’ll take that high five lol…I was actually hoping for some Irish in my results because I knew I would be around 20% European. Would’ve been happy with 1% lol…I love these ancestry test for the country/region breakdowns…but these tests reveal many secrets as well. Not only within my family but several of my friend’s families. Very crazy time for us! I hope you don’t get any surprises like that 😅…post a video of your results when you get them. I’m sure it’ll be interesting…thanks again 💯

My grandmother has a 1st cousin she knew nothing about and I think she’s in denial at the moment lol.

It’s so much more common than I originally thought. Buy that kit for him…I don’t think you both need to worry about that type of surprise…hopefully 💯😂
@@pseudoguru9523 hopefully, I feel like I know my immediate family very well, I like a good mystery though and whatever happens it’s not going to change the fact that my family is my family 😅 My brother and I obviously have different dads, his dad is Maori and my dad is Scottish/Irish but 1st gen New Zealander. I might have to buy my brother a test and make him do it because being part Māori is pretty special considering they got colonised and almost were bred out. We (my brother and I) kind of share that in common because the same happened to the Scottish and Irish, they got abused if they spoke their native language and were made to speak English and they had a lot of their land taken from them and were basically treated like dirt which is really sad. We both don’t know our native languages fluently, I know some Maori and Gàidhlig (Scottish Gaelic) but not enough to actually have a conversation 😅
Great video My mom is from Villa Mella Santo Domingo Norte Dominicans Republic 🇩🇴 And my dad is from the islands of Turks and Caicos 🇹🇨 My dominican side is predominantly of African descent but of course like many Dominican families we have some European and some Taino blood.

Try not to think about it when you send it back lol! The wait can be devastating…and that’s so funny because my mother did claim Taino and Italian blood but we never believed her on the Italian and we knew every Dominican claimed Taino but it’s never like 50% in these results.

Muito obrigado e um grande abraço meu também !! Eu quero ir ao Angola no ano que vem …eu estou aprendendo Portuguese e quero practicar-lo quando eu viago. Tomará, eu posso ir em junho
@@pseudoguru9523 Os meus parabéns pelo teu muito bom português mano. Se vires a Angola serás muito bem-vindo e tu tendo genes de Portugal já fazes parte desta grande família lusófona espalhada pelo mundo ✊. No próximo ano é uma boa altura porque como sabes, a pandemia alterou tudo no mundo nos últimos 2 anos mas começamos a voltar ao normal. Como falas espanhol, aprender o português foi mais fácil ou nem por isso?... Abraço
@@guleiro Obrigado, mano! Aproveito todas as oportunidades que posso para praticar ... e estou animado conectar com minha família que fala português em todo o mundo! E sim - aprender português foi uma experiência muito confortável ... O português é muito mais natural do que o árabe e o búlgaro (para mim), pois há muitas semelhanças com o espanhol. Você acha que o espanhol é fácil para quem fala português?
@@pseudoguru9523 Em termos fonéticos o espanhol é relativamente fácil mas em termos de escrita pode ser um pouco difícil para um falante de português mas não é nada do outro mundo. Eu por exemplo, acho o espanhol do México muito fácil de entender mas já o sotaque de Cuba ou mesmo da República Dominicana pode ser um pouco (não muito) mais difícil no começo porque dá-me a impressão que falam um pouco mais rápido...

@@guleiro Ahh sim, voce tem razão!

@@pseudoguru9523 No, haven't taken any, one day . I like that you knew the geography, history of the people, and didn't show any antagonizing behavior towards African Dna ,like some in the Dominican Republican. You were on the ball ,on it all !
@@incoco2 I appreciate that! I love all my backgrounds 💯 …I may love my Taino a bit more just because it’s the most rare of them all, it’s from my homeland, and I love to keep it alive 🔥
Give it a couple of years, my percentages as broken down by Ancestry changes every year. At one time I was 65% from English. I’m now down to about 35%.
Bear in mind that the percentages only reflect the statistical distribution of people who match your gene types in population genetics. However, as people move around the world, those percentages would shift over time.
Interesting results. Is there a strong East Indian presence in the Dominican Republic? I had no clue. My uncle was from Trinidad (West Indian), and his people were East Indian Diaspora folks.
You remind me of someone I met in North india years back. Same facial similarities. Though not exactly like you but resemble nce or you reminded me of him, a young man. Anyways God bless you.
A lot of the India people were brought to Dominican Republic as well not just Africans it was crazy back then mu community was Puerto Rico but I never knew from my dad
How interesting because many Dominicans are mixed to look almost Indian. I get asked if I’m Indian a lot but both my parents are Dominican. My mom has more European features and my dad has more African features. I will do a test some day!
Indians are the world's modern Jews. They will go anywhere in search of money and an acceptable place to live. Over 4,000 Indians leave India daily. Why?
Your results were quite interesting. I wouldn't have guessed you were that much Asian by looking at you. When thinking about it, I've met Asians of all kinds. I think Asian might be more of an ethnicity than a race. I mean, the white Asians looked nothing like the black Asians I've met, for example. While I can't say for sure, I think it's more common for them to be white or mixed. My family is black American. We range in skin tone from brown-skinned (like you) to very dark-skinned. Interestingly, Native blood showed up in our results 10%+. The other thing that shocked us was that none of us had much white DNA. We just assumed we would. Oh, another interesting thing has happened to my siblings and I. Whenever we've gone to casinos close to Native reservations, random people come up to us and tell us that they can see the red and yellow undertones in our skin. We brushed it off -- until we took DNA tests.
Wow that is very mystical!…Native American blood hits differently due to the history and current state of the Indigenous peoples …to have over ten percent Native American DNA is not small at all and definitely ties into your deep roots here in America. Also, on a side note, before I read that you were black American, I assumed you were most likely black or Dominican because I’ve had a pretty consistent experience when people of different backgrounds guess what I am…Indian people think I look Indian…Black people think I look Black/mulatto…and Dominican/Latino people think I look Dominican…I’m so glad I carry features from all three of these groups! Keeps everybody on their toes 💯
@@pseudoguru9523 I still think it's strange. Maybe, it's because I've always just considered myself black. Plus, the Natives I'm most consistently around are Indigenous Mexicans. I view them as different from myself. Maybe, I shouldn't be like that. I'm still trying to unpack it.
I have not gotten to his DNA percentages yet. I am at minute 5:29 where he believes to be 20% African. I don't think so. I would increase that number by at least 10%-15% more. I am also 25% African, but I pass for Caucasian. And he doesn't look very white to me. Now I am going to listen to the rest of the video, and we will find out if I am right or wrong. Also have the same type of gray hair.
By the way. I am also a Polanco from the DR on my mother's side and you look like family. We just might be related. My cousins have a lot of similarities with you. My grandfather Pedro Pablo Polanco also had a lot of kids. I have few dozens of aunts and uncle, I have no clue who they are. I wondering about the similarities
Wow this is very interesting. I showed my mother this and she think it’s a strong possibility since she does not know more than half of her sisters. She is thinking it’s a possibility that your grandfather could either be my grandfather’s brother or son(when she was 9, she said she had an older sister that was in her 60s so I’m guessing it could be possible based on that information.) Was it AncestryDNA or 23andMe that you used? I may be able to check to see if we matched on there.
@@pseudoguru9523 -I did an ancestrydna. By the way. We are from the Cibao Region. I never met my grandfather, but I heard he lived in a small town near Santiago the name is Hatillo San Lorenzo. I don't know if that means anything. Now I will find out the name of my grand fathers parents but I think his mother's name was Ramona Breton that would be a great grandmother. I will ask my mother for more information and I will get with you later with specific details.
@@guillermone1 hmmm, I just had a grand aunt that passed away and we called her Ramonita. I’ll ask my mom if she can use this info to see if there is a connection. My grandfathers name was Juan Pablo Polanco and he(along with the majority of his family) have roots in Santiago. I’ll show her this info in the morning forsure
@@pseudoguru9523 -Wow that is so close to the name of my grandfather. Yours was Juan Pablo Polanco while my grandfather was Pedro Pablo Polanco. But his mother my great grandmother was Ramona Breton, but she died long, long, long time ago. I need to get the name of her husband my great grandfather, which I don't recall. Shucks and I just spoke to my mom yesterday and forgot to ask her. I going to call her again tomorrow and I will get back with you on that.
@@guillermone1 lol don’t worry I had to doubleback and call me mom after I forgot when I first spoke with her as well…and yes, for their names to be so similar, they could definitely be brothers or cousins(especially since they have the same greying patterns and all of us)…my 23andMe results just got put up. Very different than my usual results 💯
@@pseudoguru9523 I'm 10% Hawaiian, my mom passes for Latina when she's wearing makeup but many feel she looks full Indian she's more fair skin than my dad, my natural hairs 2a, 2b, I feel I look more like my dad but people see my mom too, I speak English, Hindi and Bengali, I have Dominican girlfriends from Oral Roberts University
@@thepinkblush119 Oh wow I wonder how that 10% got in there…I’d say that was a great grandparent who was nearly full or full Hawaiian. Did you know of an ancestor from there before your DNA results came back? And you should have them help you speak Spanish to add to your impressive language list lol…We Dominicans have a a bit of fun speaking Spanish 😂
Yea they updated these results so they have me at 50% Indian now…but I literally got a comment from someone from India a couple hours ago where they said I look Indian…and another comment from an American that says I look light skin black…nobody can figure it out 🤣😂🤣…but seems like you have to be Latino because Latinos say I look Dominican, Indian people say I look Indian…and black people say I look lightskin black…glad to know all my backgrounds are noticeable lololol
Yes- I identify as Black, Indian, and Hispanic/Dominican...check off all three when I can. But of course the black and Dominican blended in when people ask me to specify (I say I get my black from my Dominican side)
Why does he have to identify himself as a black Dominican, something that he isn't? He's just a Dominican of mixed ancestry, mainly from India and not Africa. Go figure!
@@eduardoguillermo7366 when I’m in DR, I say I’m Indio…my largest DNA influence is India…After that, it’s Africa. After that, it’s European. I get very dark. It’s not right for somebody like me to say the words “I’m not black”…I’m not ONLY black, yes..I’m not majority black, yes…but I am Black…a quarter black. it is included in everything I identify with. And keep in mind, I , and one of my brothers*, are the only Indios in my family…the rest of my family members are 50%+ of African descent because they do not have a Indian father. My other 2 brothers and sister have a Dominican father who was over 50% black. It’s impossible for me to even consider not being black.
I was keeping count of your African DNA in memory as you were reading it (I did mine on my channel and I'm 100%). Interestingly you think you get your math genes from India when Africans built pyramids :) ! My family we are 100% Africans with 3 software engineers and one biologist. And yes we are not athletic and don't know how to sing (okay my hubby and son and daughter can a bit, I cannot to save my life). Your look encompasses all major groups in your DNA. I'm very light skin even though I'm African which negates my previous point about the look :D
Oh trust me I know! All of my friends graduated with science/math degrees and we are all black/mixed! I just figure since I’m 50% Indian and my father is the one who is more math-orientated between my parents that I’d attribute it to that…but most of my traits and skills are attributed to all my backgrounds. By the way , I really liked your video! Very eye opening for some who are alienated from Africans :)
Damnnnnn that is a crazy 🔥🔥🔥🔥 mix bro!!!! What do people guess you are before you tell them? PS-That Samoan is very rare and extremely unique…there is a crazy stat about Samoan DNA and increased chances of being an NFL player…very unique genes!
@@pseudoguru9523 haha Sadly the NFL gene skipped me. But my Mum is Samoan and Dad identifies as Indo-Fijian. I live in New Zealand where a lot of Polynesians reside and I usually get mistaken for being a Polynesian or people can tell I’m half Indian half Polynesian lol.
@@Kamaalohalani Hey, you’d be surprised by what you can awaken within your genes! And hey our Indian genes are strong lol…I know people with as low as 6% and they could pass for 50% 💯
What’s good, loco! They’ll probably increase both of ours once they improve their algorithm…we got to keep our remaining Taino blood alive lol. People are so surprised when they hear how proud we Dominicans are of our Native blood…I’m glad to see it’s being kept up. Always let people know that even 1% ties you to El Patio in a sacred way.

I overstand the want to have Taino ancestry. For most of us with similar dna profiles the indigenous people % turns up lower than the picture in our head
People are so surprised when they hear how proud we are of our indigenous DNA…it may be lower than what I was expecting…but I’m extremely grateful to have it detected. Got to keep the blood of the ancestors alive ✊🏾. I appreciate you stopping by, brother 🙏🏾
Dominican isn’t a race, dear. Neither is Hispanic or Latino. They are cultures. Race wise, people who are Latino or Hispanic are usually tri-racial, Native American, European and some African. Mestizo literally means Wh/Blk.
The human race is the only race - ‘Dominican’ is nationality/culture…we Dominicans and most Latinos are usually made up African, European, and Native American blood but there are many influences in Latin America from other parts of the world as well. Thanks for stopping by 🙏🏾

I only claim my 60% African, 40% British and Irish, I can do without, the American way and my dads which was as European as they come. I never seen my dad as anything but a black man. After he passed I realized he was a biracial man. House filled with love and nothing else mattered.
I hear ya- everyone has their own personal history. Due to mines, I claim every last drop of everything…but I understand where others may want to exclude some territories
@@pseudoguru9523 yes, my daughter saw what the world sees, she said her grandfather was a white man, because his dad was. Love is all I seen in him. Hey FYI, girls love their dad/hero. I can see you being that father to your daughter’s.
@@pseudoguru9523 also my dad was born in 1922, he heard and seen it all and told us of those things is such a gentle way about what was to come in life.
@@why2874 i appreciate that! I am trying to be there for her until my heart stopping beating…and wow, 1922? Yes, I can recall quite a few events that he has lived through. Sounds like quite the storyteller…I wouldn’t mind seeing videos about these stories…in case you ever contemplated making content
@@pseudoguru9523 nothing to post, just think of the time during 1942 at 20 yr old fitting in where no Blackman would dare to go, he was that man and no one knew the difference. His sons and grandsons got the most important information to help them through life. We need to get back to being family and knowing family. I grew up with great aunts and uncles in my life and that was a true blessing. It’s almost hearing their voice in my ear as far back as 8 yrs old with some of the things they told me. Kept me in-line with living my life and most of all my great aunts taught me how to always present myself as a lady. That was the most powerful thing they did for me.
BACK IN THE MID 1800'S, AFTER SLAVERY WAS ABOLISHED, A LOT OF INDIAN PEOPLE FROM SOUTH AND EAST INDIA, WERE BROUGHT TO THE CARIBBEAN ISLANDS AND ALSO TO AN ISLAND CALLED MAURITIUS, BY THE BRITISH. THEY WERE BROUGHT THERE, TO REPLACE THE BLACK SLAVES AND WORK ON THE LAND FOR A VERY LOW WAGE. THEY HAD TO SIGN A CONTRACT, FIRST, AGREEING TO DO THIS. THAT IS WHY, THERE ARE A LOT OF INDIAN PEOPLE IN THE CARIBBEAN ISLANDS, ESPECIALLY, IN TRINIDAD. IN TRINIDAD AND JAMAICA, THEY EAT A LOT OF CURRY BECAUSE OF THE INDIAN INFLUENCE THERE.
Yep all of this is true…as a matter of fact, before Haiti was a country, there were reports of South Indians brought into Hispaniola by French Pirates…India has quite a bit of history in all of the continents
@@pseudoguru9523 I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE FRENCH BUT THE BRITISH FOR SURE, HAD BROUGHT THE INDIANS EVERYWHERE, DURING THE TIME, INDIA HAD BEEN COLONIZED BY THE BRITISH. I DON'T KNOW, IF YOU'RE AWARE, ABOUT THE HISTORY OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE IN INDIA. IT'S QUITE INTERESTING. YOU MAY WANT TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT IT. AFTER INDIA BECAME INDEPENDENT FROM THE BRITISH, BACK IN 1947, A LARGE PERCENTAGE OF INDIANS IMMIGRATED TO THE UK. BOTH, HINDUS AND SIKHS, DURING THE 1950'S. WHEN THE BRITISH WERE OVER IN INDIA, DURING THE TIME INDIA HAD BEEN, UNDER THE CONTROL OF THE BRITISH, THEY DRANK A LOT OF TEA THERE, WHICH HAD BEEN VERY POPULAR IN INDIA, FOR MANY YEARS. THE BRITISH THERE, ENDED UP LOVING TEA SO MUCH, THAT THEY BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE BRITAIN. TEA THEN BECAME SO POPULAR IN THE UK, THAT FOR SEVERAL DECADES, UNTIL NOW, IT'S THE MOST POPULAR DRINK IN BRITAIN, MORE THAN ANY OTHER DRINK. CURRY HAS ALSO, BECOME SO POPULAR IN THE UK, THAT EATING CURRY, IS NOW, PART OF THE BRITISH CULTURE.
@@RS-ln3ns I knew about the British influence in both the West Indies and India as well…but I did not know about the history of tea in England…and who couldn’t love curry? 😂💯
@@pseudoguru9523 A LOT OF PEOPLE LOVE CURRY BUT IT'S A LOT MORE POPULAR IN THE UK, THAN ANYWHERE IN THE WESTERN WORLD. YOU WON'T BE REGARDED, AS BEING PROPER BRITISH, IF YOU DON'T EAT CURRY AND DRINK TEA. IT IS VERY MUCH A PART OF THE BRITISH CULTURE.
Thank you for asking! To satisfy your curiosity -> I know all groups of people have individuals that are advanced in math and science. (And my father was born in Mumbai and is the first known person from his family to live outside of India so I imagine none of my Indian DNA is attributed to the British colonies in the Americas.) Me and all my friends are mixed/black and we all graduated with math/science degrees. I simply attributed the largest part of my life/talents, to the largest part of my DNA breakdown because of my specific history. I can’t come on a video and say I’m good at everything I’m good at, because of my African DNA breakdown…what would that leave for my other my regions?…so I tried to find little things here and there about my life that may link me to my different regions(that may show some noticeable exceptionalities in certain categories) so that they can be praised/appreciated. Imagine if I said my mental and physical abilities are all from my Indian background…would that sound right? What if I said my mental and physical abilities are all from my African side…would that sound right? The truth is, all of my mental and physical abilities are attributed to a complex mixture of several different factors that go beyond “Nature” and goes into “Nurture”(how we were raised). Since I’m 50% Indian and my father (who is 100% or near 100% Indian) is the math genius between my parents, I simply made the connection. It would not make much sense for me to say I inherited my innate ability for math from my mother, when she is not as advanced as he is in that category. I hope this is clear but if not, then maybe I’ll have to make a video on this because you are not the first person to comment this, lol… In reality, the traits and characteristics of all groups of peoples on earth is fairly/approximately equal…but not exactly 100% equal (if we somehow were able to quantify it)…usually, you can find some traits and characteristics that are a bit more common in some groups than others. I like to praise these exceptionalities from the different groups. I know this is not the same as mathematical ability but just to steer away from mental characteristics for a second, let’s say, for example, you are a person with blue eyes…and you have one parent that is a blue eyed European and another parent that is a brown eyed African…it would make sense for you to say that your blue eyes are a European characteristic in this specific case. But does this statement mean that there are no people in Africa or of African decent that have blue eyes? No- it just a simple connection made based off of the information you have. I know all about Atlantis, the Pyramids, the different forms of ancient math, etc. that are attributed to Africa…id like to make some videos on Atlantis and the pyramids of Giza actually…but Europe, Asia, and the Americas have their own wonders of mathematics as well …the Bosnian pyramids, the Mayan pyramids/calendar, puma punku, etc. I hope this makes it clear that intelligent people may come from any part of the world whether it be India, a country in Africa, or anywhere else. PS- If you check out the two other videos I posted right after this one, you’ll see that I talk about how intelligence is not as simple as some think it is. I speak about the 8 multiple intelligences because our society tends to have placed the most emphasis on logistics and linguistics when it comes to intelligence…but Bodily Kinesthetic, Interpersonal, Intrapersonal, Musical, Spatial, and Naturalistic Intelligence are just as important…yet often neglected. Thanks again 🙏🏾✊🏾💯

No, sadly he passed when I was in high school…and thanks you brother! I need to get to India to get in touch with my roots. Which part of India are you from?
@DRAVIDIAN hello! I’ve searching for this comment for days lol…my haplogroups are at the very end of my 23andMe results video posted almost 2 weeks ago
@DRAVIDIAN I really appreciate that, bro! 💯 Im glad you are enjoying the content. I’m looking to get into some more diverse topics soon…And I’m in Orlando, FL right now. 😎
ok , I got my results today 😳, 2 weeks earlier then they said I would...no surprise yet , more questions then answers... did you take more then one companies DNA test? also, I thought I would see something on my chart that I did not, no trace at all...so I'm more unusual to the eye then I thought. also, no close relatives beyond like 4 and fourth removed on my father's side🤔, did a voice video , but I don't know that I want to share it now😊
Oh please share it- I’d like to see what you were expecting versus what you got lol! And Yea i made videos for AncestryDNA, 23andMe, MyLiving DNA, and MyHeritage…I’m going to do more to make a comparison video at the end…I want at least 6 companies for that video. Did you think you were going to get some Asian in your results?
@@pseudoguru9523 yeah🤣, no Asian...im a straight split , in the mulatto Mafia...and no Latin American, or islands, I was wondering because I'm a bit odd looking for my Tribe. Nothing in American Indian, straight migration through Africa the middle east and Sicily, no suprise there...but no close family at all, all distant cousins
@@TheMMFamily9 Psst- Everybody here is curious to know the percentages lol…yes, based off that picture on your channel, seems like you would have had more than Northern European and African DNA…AncestryDNA will definitely give more of a confirmation on your results. You got to keep us updated in case you decide to upload
@@pseudoguru9523 oh will do.. 52% all Sicilian short of like 2% England Irish And 40% African coast 6% middle eastern. North Africa, Iran and 3%of it some small island 🏝 off the coast. That's it
I guess 37% African primarily Nigerian, 12% Indigenous American, 22% Iberian, 15% Northwest European, 8% French, 2% Jewish, 2% South Asian, 1% North African, 1% Chinese or South East Asian
Hmm, that is interesting but it’s definitely inherited from my grandfather on my mother’s side …my brothers have Dominican fathers(they are not indian) and we all have the exact same greying pattern. If you check the picture of him posted in my video, you can see he carries the greying pattern we all have. But who knows, maybe I’m getting the greys from Both sides 😂
@@sophiawilson8696 Gracias and oh no I didn’t take any type of way…I know several Indians and early greying is super common among them just like you stated…I just know we always talk about about greys in my fam because of my Dominican grandfather 👴🏽 so I may be the exception among early greying Indians 😂…
I'm white as Hell. Looks wise. My father's dad was Scandinavian. My mom took her DNA test and found out she is 15% Spanish, 8% African, 25% Balkan/ E. Europe. She looks very Indian (from India) and thought she was Native. Turns out it's her mix of Spanish/African and Greek Baltic roots.
Wow that’s sounds crazy- that video would be interesting to watch. I’m sure everyone in India would be amazed to see somebody who looks a bit Indian but is actually Spanish/African/Greek roots…What was your moms initial prediction of her results?
You have wrong information, religious people, Spanish in The Dominican Republic kept records unless you were born out of marriages. Since Cristobal Colon there was a court, there are civiloficialias, and churches records.
Cool results. I’m 40% Indian, 53% African, 6% European, 0.3% Indigenous and 0.7% unassigned, it shows “Indian Diaspora” as one of my Communities. My mom’s main background was North Indian, Punjab specifically.
Wow those are interesting results as well- I need to look more into the Indian diaspora - …When you say .3% indigenous, is that north, south, Central America? Or one of the Caribbean islands?
@@pseudoguru9523 Yes, the Caribbean. In addition to my Indian background, I also have Jamaica as well to be exact. The indigenous people of Jamaica were Arawaks, see a little fun fact below: "The original inhabitants of Jamaica are the Arawaks, also called Tainos. They came from South America 2,500 years ago and named the island Xaymaca, which meant ““land of wood and water”. With regards to the Indian diaspora, my mom's ancestors were Indentured Laborers from India to the Caribbean (in the late 1800's, significant Indian populations taken to Jamaica, Trinidad, Guyana, etc) --hence one of my Communities is "Indian diaspora". If you have a parent directly from India, it probably wouldn't say "Indian Diaspora" but instead just "India" or something to that sort... We are all of a melting pot. :)
Damnn that is the coolest piece of information I’ve heard about Tainos in a long time…Xaymaca! Our mix is very interesting 😎
@@pseudoguru9523 Yep, it's crazy indeed, and ppl have mistaken me to be Dominican (stereotype I guess). And to be honest even though 0.3% indigenous is basically nothing, I really wasn't expecting to see any indigenous as I was told they've became “extinct” especially in the non-hispanic islands shortly after the arrival of Christopher Columbus, so very surprising that I got 0.3% lol. I only knew about the Afro-Jamaican and North Indian background.
Huh? There were no Punjabis in the Caribbean. They weren’t ever recruited by the British, and were mostly staying in india to fight for the royal army
Hi there! This was an awesome video! I’m mixed also. My roots are Indian (from Fiji and Trinidad), Black/Creole (from Louisiana and Texas, but also connections to Haiti), and European (English and French). I always find it so cool when I see someone else who is “Blindian.” We are a rare group 😅😅😅
Thanks man! Rare indeed but I’ve surprisingly met a few over the years…you got one of the most unique mixes I’ve seen though - you should post a video 💯
I seen your answers in quora
Common in carribean specifically guyana suriname and the other english colonized places like trinidad and jamaica

1% likely from the 1500's, from the Spanish Portuguese ancestor
Very cool ethnicity profile bro! You're embracing your Indian side with the math teaching :) ..are you sure you didn't want to become an accountant? haha just jks bro. We have something in common in that I have a very similar percentage breakdown in terms of three distinct regions - I'm also roughly 50% Indian and around 25% European but the 3rd region in my case is 25% East Asian. So good to be celebrating and embracing diversity, such a cool mix you are! Thanks for sharing your results my friend, namaste
Namaste brother! If I go back to school then it’ll be with something in the medical field or computers lol! Your breakdown is super interesting too bro…just saw your video and looks like I should try My Heritage as well…Thank you for sharing your results too- upload more videos for us- hell we may even be related if you take DNA Ancestry 😂
@@pseudoguru9523 Cheers bro! That would be cool to study medicine.. you mentioned somewhere your Dad was a doctor right? Thanks for checking out my vid, glad you found it interesting. You can actually upload your raw DNA file to a whole heap of other DNA sites to get a free ethnicity report, such as MyHeritage, DNA Land, Gedmatch, Wegene (wegene will give your haplogroup as well!)
Oh wow, really? I’m looking into that today! thank you 🙏🏾- I’m extremely curious to see my results from these other companies …and I’m also addicted to watching DNA results lol- if I see you matched as a 4th cousin then I’m heading out there 😂😂
@@pseudoguru9523 Yeah bro! You're welcome to visit any time...well as soon as Australia lifts the bloody travel ban haha You tested with AncestryDNA right? I'm actually on ancestry too after I paid for a separate kit with them following the initial MyHeritage test. The results are a bit different on Ancestry, but as I mentioned you can upload your Ancestry raw data file to heaps of other platforms which will all give you different ethnicity results based on each companies unique algorithm and reference populations. Some will be more consistent with each other than others, but you'll be able to see a strong correlation of where they all agree. Definitely upload to MyHeritage, Gedmatch and the others I mentioned. I'll be curious to see your results on the other platforms. It gets addictive indeed!
Really good video!! Enjoyed watching your video.
Thank you! Hoping I can make another one for 23andMe results…Are you going to upload your results?

My family is from Trinidad. Your DNA results are almost identical to ours. We are also between 54 to 57% combination of North and South India. Our great grandmother was 100% African and our DNA shows 25% African. Amazing how our results are so similar
Wow -yes -that is amazing. I knew many people from Trinidad when I was growing up and there definitely was a strong Indian and African background…so it always felt familiar. Gotta love these blends 💯
No one is one hundred percent Africa. There were many types of people that where rounded up as one race. Ethnicities are not bound by one group.

There’s a range of inheritance, You can inherit as much as 35% from a grandparent and as low as 20% For a great grandparent you can inherit as much as 17% and as little as 7% but the average is 12% Genetics are weird, it’s like shuffling a deck of cards.
Yes these numbers seem consistent with my results and others I’ve seen on UA-cam… uploading the updated results soon só stay tuned for that - have you uploaded yours?
This comment help me a lot to understand better my results.
Can I please ask, how do you know you can inherit as much as 35% from a grandparent? I understand you will generally inherit 50% of your genes from your parents (each) & the actual proportion is not necessarily half from 1 parent & half from the other etc etc. But I’m interested to know where the research came from that explains as much as 35% can be inherited from one side - which means the other parent is only donating 15% of their genetic material to their child.
The continent of Africa is huge and very diverse. You have black people with different features who live there. Not all black people look the same. Ok. peace and thanks 🙏😏
Looking at all that Asian you have, are you sure you don’t also have some family (Indian) from one of the British colonies. Sir Africans are also good at the math & science. Remember Egypt (Kemet), Mali etc, etc,

I can’t come on a video and say I’m good at everything I’m good at, because of my African DNA breakdown…what would that leave for my other my regions?…so I tried to find little things here and there about my life that may link me to my different regions(that may show some noticeable exceptionalities in certain categories) so that they can be praised/appreciated.
Imagine if I said my mental and physical abilities are all from my Indian background…would that sound right? What if I said my mental and physical abilities are all from my African side…would that sound right? The truth is, all of my mental and physical abilities are attributed to a complex mixture of several different factors that go beyond “Nature” and goes into “Nurture”(how we were raised).
Since I’m 50% Indian and my father (who is 100% or near 100% Indian) is the math genius between my parents, I simply made the connection. It would not make much sense for me to say I inherited my innate ability for math from my mother, when she is not as advanced as he is in that category.
In reality, the traits and characteristics of all groups of peoples on earth is fairly/approximately equal…but not exactly 100% equal (if we somehow were able to quantify it)…usually, you can find some traits and characteristics that are a bit more common in some groups than others. I like to praise these exceptionalities from the different groups.
I know this is not the same as mathematical ability but just to steer away from mental characteristics for a second, let’s say, for example, you are a person with blue eyes…and you have one parent that is a blue eyed European and another parent that is a brown eyed African…it would make sense for you to say that your blue eyes are a European characteristic in this specific case. But does this statement mean that there are no people in Africa or of African decent that have blue eyes? No- it just a simple connection made based off of the information you have.
I know all about Atlantis, the Pyramids, the different forms of ancient math, etc. that Is attributed to Africa…id like to make some videos on Atlantis and the pyramids of Giza actually…but Europe, Asia, and the Americas have their own wonders of mathematics as well …the Bosnian pyramids, the Mayan pyramids/calendar, puma punku, etc.
I hope this makes it clear that intelligent people may come from any part of the world whether it be India, a country in Africa, or anywhere else. I appreciate you letting everyone else know about the greatness of Africa as well. Thank you 🙏🏾

(Sorry they held this comment for review for some reason lol)
@@pseudoguru9523 Yes, I just uploaded my AncestryDNA Results on my UA-cam Channel Page to😊
@@jo100 Wow, very interesting results!(not sure why UA-cam hides your comments from me but I seems to get these messages delayed). Both companies had you at 91-92 percent African so that seems pretty accurate. I’m going to post my 23andMe video soon…I also noticed 23andMe picked up your Native American blood…Did you know about your Native American ancestry before this test?
PS- Did you have to pay extra to get the information pertaining to the historical figures you share DNA with? I noticed they linked you to Pharaoh Ramesses III
@@pseudoguru9523 Yes, I remember when one of my Relatives told me that there was Native American from my Mother side of the Family, way back in the day, and I did AncestryDNA in 2017 and 23andMe in 2019, so I can save Money that, my Friend.
@@jo100 So you and I are in the same boat there. I was always told we had Taino roots growing up so to confirm it through the test is really satisfying in a weird way lol. I was born in DR and some of my ancestors go back to the days before anybody arrived from the other continents. So there is a more special connection to the land. I appreciate you stopping by, brother. 23andMe will
Be up soon 💯
It's cool to have so much variety in your DNA. It makes you a man of the world. My DNA was unfortunately only 2 things.
Thank you brother! …but I think there is a mystical thing about being about having large or near pure percentages as well…especially for Native Americans…but it really goes for all regional groups of people. What were your two?
@@pseudoguru9523 Interestingly, I am actually all Slavic with 73% ancestry from the Carpathian Mountains of current southern/southeastern Poland, and 27% from Croatia.
Ahh, mountain people ancestry has a nice ring to it! I had some regions highlighted in those regions so I’ll def be trying other DNA companies to see a better breakdown, if possible. Thanks for sharing brother 😎
@@pseudoguru9523 Interestingly I am not a mountain person at all and live by the sea.
Good results ;)
Thank you 😎🙏🏾
3% of any ethnicity is actually quite a bit. It likely means you have ancestor around 5 generations back, give or take a couple of generations, that was 100% native Carribean, which should be findable. Any Catholic parish records from the 1800's, from anywhere in the western hemisphere could possibly identify someone as being indiginous. In the French Catholic parish records of what are now Missouri & in Québec, in the 1600's & 1700's, priests used the French terms "sauvage" or "sauvagesse" to refer to native americans. I'm sure Spanish Catholic parish records would be similar.
Wow- I really appreciate this! I had very little faith to find this because I’ve heard many territories in DR have very unorganized records…I’m searching online right now but I’m definitely going to continue following up and see if I can find a way to access the Spanish Catholic parish records in DR for my family …my family is mostly from the north so that narrows it a bit. I’ll be looking for “Indio” I’m sure…thanks again-seriously!! 💯
The church from the area should have them
I'm jamaican. I had india too and central Asia also Mayan inca European and Africa. Indians are not usually in dr. I love everything about india my great grandparents are from India.
Oh wow you got a crazy cool mix, brother! I love India and I can’t wait to go. Yea, my father was actually born in India and went to DR for medical school. He said the only Indians he knew there were attending the school…but it was quite a bit. However, many moved out so not too many over there anymore I’m sure.
I’m sure people would appreciate an upload of your results…DNA results that span the world is crazy-Thanks for stopping by, brother

I’ve watched so many UA-cam videos of people revealing their results and you’re probably the only person so far who doesn’t have British heritage lol.
I feel like I need to high-five you for somehow not getting that 😅
(No hate to the British at all I’m just surprised).
I’m waiting on my results and the first half of your video reflects exactly how I’m feeling right now 😂
I feel like I’ll be at least 50% Scottish then Irish and then maybe Scandinavian.
I don’t think my results will be that much of a surprise tbh.
Awesome video though and I’m glad that you were able to see where you’re from, amazing results ! 😁
Gracias! I’ll take that high five lol…I was actually hoping for some Irish in my results because I knew I would be around 20% European. Would’ve been happy with 1% lol…I love these ancestry test for the country/region breakdowns…but these tests reveal many secrets as well. Not only within my family but several of my friend’s families. Very crazy time for us! I hope you don’t get any surprises like that 😅…post a video of your results when you get them. I’m sure it’ll be interesting…thanks again 💯

My grandmother has a 1st cousin she knew nothing about and I think she’s in denial at the moment lol.
I haven’t really made UA-cam videos before but I might be tempted to if I find something interesting haha.
I also want to convince my brother to take a test because he’s part Māori so his one would be pretty interesting to look at !
@@angiecats5298 wow we may know the same people!!! Many stories like this are happening with my friends( I gifted out 12+ ancestry tests).

It’s so much more common than I originally thought. Buy that kit for him…I don’t think you both need to worry about that type of surprise…hopefully 💯😂
@@pseudoguru9523 hopefully, I feel like I know my immediate family very well, I like a good mystery though and whatever happens it’s not going to change the fact that my family is my family 😅
My brother and I obviously have different dads, his dad is Maori and my dad is Scottish/Irish but 1st gen New Zealander.
I might have to buy my brother a test and make him do it because being part Māori is pretty special considering they got colonised and almost were bred out. We (my brother and I) kind of share that in common because the same happened to the Scottish and Irish, they got abused if they spoke their native language and were made to speak English and they had a lot of their land taken from them and were basically treated like dirt which is really sad.
We both don’t know our native languages fluently, I know some Maori and Gàidhlig (Scottish Gaelic) but not enough to actually have a conversation 😅

Try not to think about it when you send it back lol! The wait can be devastating…and that’s so funny because my mother did claim Taino and Italian blood but we never believed her on the Italian and we knew every Dominican claimed Taino but it’s never like 50% in these results. I wouldn’t be surprised if you carried more Taino blood than I do-post a video of it

Also I do believe their are Haitians that probably have Taino blood but I heard it’s usually In small trace amounts if any at all. But we’ll see.

E sim - aprender português foi uma experiência muito confortável ... O português é muito mais natural do que o árabe e o búlgaro (para mim), pois há muitas semelhanças com o espanhol. Você acha que o espanhol é fácil para quem fala português?
@@pseudoguru9523
Em termos fonéticos o espanhol é relativamente fácil mas em termos de escrita pode ser um pouco difícil para um falante de português mas não é nada do outro mundo.
Eu por exemplo, acho o espanhol do México muito fácil de entender mas já o sotaque de Cuba ou mesmo da República Dominicana pode ser um pouco (não muito) mais difícil no começo porque dá-me a impressão que falam um pouco mais rápido...
Mas as duas são línguas irmãs e por isso partilham muito.

Já ouviste português de Portugal ou de Angola?

@@guleiro Ahh sim, voce tem razão! Mesmo sabendo espanhol, alguns outros sotaques latinos podem ser difíceis de entender (Chile LOL)…Eu já ouvi o sotaque/dialeto de Portugal muitas vezes, mas é muito mais difícil para mim do que o sotaque brasileiro.

Interesting results..which test did you take?company name
For this video, AncestryDNA…but I’ve tried other companies in other videos - thanks for stopping by 💯
@@pseudoguru9523 okay thanks
Indians are the world's modern Jews. They will go anywhere in search of money and an acceptable place to live. Over 4,000 Indians leave India daily. Why?
Your results were quite interesting. I wouldn't have guessed you were that much Asian by looking at you. When thinking about it, I've met Asians of all kinds. I think Asian might be more of an ethnicity than a race. I mean, the white Asians looked nothing like the black Asians I've met, for example. While I can't say for sure, I think it's more common for them to be white or mixed. My family is black American. We range in skin tone from brown-skinned (like you) to very dark-skinned. Interestingly, Native blood showed up in our results 10%+.
The other thing that shocked us was that none of us had much white DNA. We just assumed we would. Oh, another interesting thing has happened to my siblings and I. Whenever we've gone to casinos close to Native reservations, random people come up to us and tell us that they can see the red and yellow undertones in our skin. We brushed it off -- until we took DNA tests.
Wow that is very mystical!…Native American blood hits differently due to the history and current state of the Indigenous peoples …to have over ten percent Native American DNA is not small at all and definitely ties into your deep roots here in America.
Also, on a side note, before I read that you were black American, I assumed you were most likely black or Dominican because I’ve had a pretty consistent experience when people of different backgrounds guess what I am…Indian people think I look Indian…Black people think I look Black/mulatto…and Dominican/Latino people think I look Dominican…I’m so glad I carry features from all three of these groups! Keeps everybody on their toes 💯
Can’t stop thinking about how you were approached about your indigenous features! So cool 😎
@@pseudoguru9523 I still think it's strange. Maybe, it's because I've always just considered myself black. Plus, the Natives I'm most consistently around are Indigenous Mexicans. I view them as different from myself. Maybe, I shouldn't be like that. I'm still trying to unpack it.
I think germanic europe means like countrys such as the netherlands and luxembourg and stuff like that
Yes I’ll be visiting each of those countries to cover my Germanic Europe % …the map highlights quite a bit of territory on the AncestryDNA App
I have not gotten to his DNA percentages yet. I am at minute 5:29 where he believes to be 20% African. I don't think so. I would increase that number by at least 10%-15% more. I am also 25% African, but I pass for Caucasian. And he doesn't look very white to me. Now I am going to listen to the rest of the video, and we will find out if I am right or wrong. Also have the same type of gray hair.
The guy is half Indian and his mother is Dominican. It makes sense he would be around 25%
What is your mix im also 25 to 30 west central african. But my mom is black and dad is metizo.
nice video

Plz do visit one day.. To your ancestors land.....
Never seen a Dominican Indian before. What's the story here?
My father was born in India and went to medical school in DR where he met my mother who is pure Dominican. They got married…and here I am 🙌🏾😎
By the way. I am also a Polanco from the DR on my mother's side and you look like family. We just might be related. My cousins have a lot of similarities with you. My grandfather Pedro Pablo Polanco also had a lot of kids. I have few dozens of aunts and uncle, I have no clue who they are. I wondering about the similarities
Wow this is very interesting. I showed my mother this and she think it’s a strong possibility since she does not know more than half of her sisters. She is thinking it’s a possibility that your grandfather could either be my grandfather’s brother or son(when she was 9, she said she had an older sister that was in her 60s so I’m guessing it could be possible based on that information.) Was it AncestryDNA or 23andMe that you used? I may be able to check to see if we matched on there.
@@pseudoguru9523 -I did an ancestrydna. By the way. We are from the Cibao Region. I never met my grandfather, but I heard he lived in a small town near Santiago the name is Hatillo San Lorenzo. I don't know if that means anything. Now I will find out the name of my grand fathers parents but I think his mother's name was Ramona Breton that would be a great grandmother. I will ask my mother for more information and I will get with you later with specific details.
@@guillermone1 hmmm, I just had a grand aunt that passed away and we called her Ramonita. I’ll ask my mom if she can use this info to see if there is a connection. My grandfathers name was Juan Pablo Polanco and he(along with the majority of his family) have roots in Santiago. I’ll show her this info in the morning forsure
@@pseudoguru9523 -Wow that is so close to the name of my grandfather. Yours was Juan Pablo Polanco while my grandfather was Pedro Pablo Polanco. But his mother my great grandmother was Ramona Breton, but she died long, long, long time ago. I need to get the name of her husband my great grandfather, which I don't recall. Shucks and I just spoke to my mom yesterday and forgot to ask her. I going to call her again tomorrow and I will get back with you on that.
@@guillermone1 lol don’t worry I had to doubleback and call me mom after I forgot when I first spoke with her as well…and yes, for their names to be so similar, they could definitely be brothers or cousins(especially since they have the same greying patterns and all of us)…my 23andMe results just got put up. Very different than my usual results 💯
that is interesting, I'm South Indian as in from India
Ahh, thank you and likewise- are you 100% South Indian in your DNA results?
@@pseudoguru9523 I'm 10% Hawaiian, my mom passes for Latina when she's wearing makeup but many feel she looks full Indian she's more fair skin than my dad, my natural hairs 2a, 2b, I feel I look more like my dad but people see my mom too, I speak English, Hindi and Bengali, I have Dominican girlfriends from Oral Roberts University
@@thepinkblush119 Oh wow I wonder how that 10% got in there…I’d say that was a great grandparent who was nearly full or full Hawaiian. Did you know of an ancestor from there before your DNA results came back?
And you should have them help you speak Spanish to add to your impressive language list lol…We Dominicans have a a bit of fun speaking Spanish 😂
Yes sir us Africans have strong genetics 🧬 welcome to our home land
Very strong and thank you! I can’t wait to go - I’ve never been and it’s been calling to me for a long time now 💯
bom dia amigo, tudo bem sim é você, seu conteúdo chegou na zona oeste do rio de janeiro brasil abraços
Bom dis mano! Eu acabo de terminar falando com um amigo de essa zona...ou mais central(Brasilia). Mandando abracos de aqui tambem. Brigado 🙏🏾💯
I cannot believe you're more than half Indian, but look Dominican, those 3% Dominican genes are strong!
Yea they updated these results so they have me at 50% Indian now…but I literally got a comment from someone from India a couple hours ago where they said I look Indian…and another comment from an American that says I look light skin black…nobody can figure it out 🤣😂🤣…but seems like you have to be Latino because Latinos say I look Dominican, Indian people say I look Indian…and black people say I look lightskin black…glad to know all my backgrounds are noticeable lololol
So if your exactly 1/4 black, do you identify as black Dominican or?
Yes- I identify as Black, Indian, and Hispanic/Dominican...check off all three when I can. But of course the black and Dominican blended in when people ask me to specify (I say I get my black from my Dominican side)
He is biracial and Dominican also have European blood
@@pseudoguru9523 nice also I subscribed to ur channel 🇬🇹
Why does he have to identify himself as a black Dominican, something that he isn't?
He's just a Dominican of mixed ancestry, mainly from India and not Africa.
Go figure!
@@eduardoguillermo7366 when I’m in DR, I say I’m Indio…my largest DNA influence is India…After that, it’s Africa. After that, it’s European. I get very dark. It’s not right for somebody like me to say the words “I’m not black”…I’m not ONLY black, yes..I’m not majority black, yes…but I am
Black…a quarter black. it is included in everything I identify with. And keep in mind, I , and one of my brothers*, are the only Indios in my family…the rest of my family members are 50%+ of African descent because they do not have a Indian father. My other 2 brothers and sister have a Dominican father who was over 50% black. It’s impossible for me to even consider not being black.
😍😍😍
Haha thank you 🙏🏾🔥💯
I was keeping count of your African DNA in memory as you were reading it (I did mine on my channel and I'm 100%). Interestingly you think you get your math genes from India when Africans built pyramids :) ! My family we are 100% Africans with 3 software engineers and one biologist. And yes we are not athletic and don't know how to sing (okay my hubby and son and daughter can a bit, I cannot to save my life). Your look encompasses all major groups in your DNA. I'm very light skin even though I'm African which negates my previous point about the look :D
Oh trust me I know! All of my friends graduated with science/math degrees and we are all black/mixed! I just figure since I’m 50% Indian and my father is the one who is more math-orientated between my parents that I’d attribute it to that…but most of my traits and skills are attributed to all my backgrounds. By the way , I really liked your video! Very eye opening for some who are alienated from Africans :)
Chill out he was making a little remark/joke no need to get all sensitive

The colonizers imported East Indians and Chinese as indentured servants into the Caribbean to work on the plantations.
100% cute. Im also Dominican and my results were all over the place.
My one was Samoan, North Indian, South Indian, Tongan, Bangladesh, Central-South Asia(Afghan, Pakistan), Irish and Scottish lol

PS-That Samoan is very rare and extremely unique…there is a crazy stat about Samoan DNA and increased chances of being an NFL player…very unique genes!
@@pseudoguru9523 haha Sadly the NFL gene skipped me. But my Mum is Samoan and Dad identifies as Indo-Fijian. I live in New Zealand where a lot of Polynesians reside and I usually get mistaken for being a Polynesian or people can tell I’m half Indian half Polynesian lol.
@@Kamaalohalani Hey, you’d be surprised by what you can awaken within your genes! And hey our Indian genes are strong lol…I know people with as low as 6% and they could pass for 50% 💯

Why are carribean shock about their ancestry? Caribbean’s is mostly immigrants from Spain/middle eastern and African countries.
How do I join that club?
You're 23% South Indian ?
I overstand the want to have Taino ancestry. For most of us with similar dna profiles the indigenous people % turns up lower than the picture in our head

Dominican isn’t a race, dear. Neither is Hispanic or Latino. They are cultures. Race wise, people who are Latino or Hispanic are usually tri-racial, Native American, European and some African. Mestizo literally means Wh/Blk.
The human race is the only race - ‘Dominican’ is nationality/culture…we Dominicans and most Latinos are usually made up African, European, and Native American blood but there are many influences in Latin America from other parts of the world as well. Thanks for stopping by 🙏🏾

I'm mostly ashkenazi 30% and 15 European then the rest is africain
Nice! So you’re 45 percent Jewish (30% Askenazi + 15% European) then 55 percent African? We family
I only claim my 60% African, 40% British and Irish, I can do without, the American way and my dads which was as European as they come. I never seen my dad as anything but a black man. After he passed I realized he was a biracial man. House filled with love and nothing else mattered.
I hear ya- everyone has their own personal history. Due to mines, I claim every last drop of everything…but I understand where others may want to exclude some territories
@@pseudoguru9523 yes, my daughter saw what the world sees, she said her grandfather was a white man, because his dad was. Love is all I seen in him. Hey FYI, girls love their dad/hero. I can see you being that father to your daughter’s.
@@pseudoguru9523 also my dad was born in 1922, he heard and seen it all and told us of those things is such a gentle way about what was to come in life.
@@why2874 i appreciate that! I am trying to be there for her until my heart stopping beating…and wow, 1922? Yes, I can recall quite a few events that he has lived through. Sounds like quite the storyteller…I wouldn’t mind seeing videos about these stories…in case you ever contemplated making content
@@pseudoguru9523 nothing to post, just think of the time during 1942 at 20 yr old fitting in where no Blackman would dare to go, he was that man and no one knew the difference. His sons and grandsons got the most important information to help them through life. We need to get back to being family and knowing family. I grew up with great aunts and uncles in my life and that was a true blessing. It’s almost hearing their voice in my ear as far back as 8 yrs old with some of the things they told me. Kept me in-line with living my life and most of all my great aunts taught me how to always present myself as a lady. That was the most powerful thing they did for me.
my mom is Dominican and is 2% Indian..
Nice! I want to see my moms to see if I got that extra 1-2 percent of Indian from her…have you done yours?

Lol I’m curious to see yours- Dominicans always brings an interesting mix
BACK IN THE MID 1800'S, AFTER SLAVERY WAS ABOLISHED, A LOT OF INDIAN PEOPLE FROM SOUTH AND EAST INDIA, WERE BROUGHT TO THE CARIBBEAN ISLANDS AND ALSO TO AN ISLAND CALLED MAURITIUS, BY THE BRITISH. THEY WERE BROUGHT THERE, TO REPLACE THE BLACK SLAVES AND WORK ON THE LAND FOR A VERY LOW WAGE. THEY HAD TO SIGN A CONTRACT, FIRST, AGREEING TO DO THIS. THAT IS WHY, THERE ARE A LOT OF INDIAN PEOPLE IN THE CARIBBEAN ISLANDS, ESPECIALLY, IN TRINIDAD. IN TRINIDAD AND JAMAICA, THEY EAT A LOT OF CURRY BECAUSE OF THE INDIAN INFLUENCE THERE.
Yep all of this is true…as a matter of fact, before Haiti was a country, there were reports of South Indians brought into
Hispaniola by French Pirates…India has quite a bit of history in all of the continents
@@pseudoguru9523 I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE FRENCH BUT THE BRITISH FOR SURE, HAD BROUGHT THE INDIANS EVERYWHERE, DURING THE TIME, INDIA HAD BEEN COLONIZED BY THE BRITISH. I DON'T KNOW, IF YOU'RE AWARE, ABOUT THE HISTORY OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE IN INDIA. IT'S QUITE INTERESTING. YOU MAY WANT TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT IT. AFTER INDIA BECAME INDEPENDENT FROM THE BRITISH, BACK IN 1947, A LARGE PERCENTAGE OF INDIANS IMMIGRATED TO THE UK. BOTH, HINDUS AND SIKHS, DURING THE 1950'S. WHEN THE BRITISH WERE OVER IN INDIA, DURING THE TIME INDIA HAD BEEN, UNDER THE CONTROL OF THE BRITISH, THEY DRANK A LOT OF TEA THERE, WHICH HAD BEEN VERY POPULAR IN INDIA, FOR MANY YEARS. THE BRITISH THERE, ENDED UP LOVING TEA SO MUCH, THAT THEY BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE BRITAIN. TEA THEN BECAME SO POPULAR IN THE UK, THAT FOR SEVERAL DECADES, UNTIL NOW, IT'S THE MOST POPULAR DRINK IN BRITAIN, MORE THAN ANY OTHER DRINK. CURRY HAS ALSO, BECOME SO POPULAR IN THE UK, THAT EATING CURRY, IS NOW, PART OF THE BRITISH CULTURE.
@@RS-ln3ns I knew about the British influence in both the West Indies and India as well…but I did not know about the history of tea in England…and who couldn’t love curry? 😂💯

Why would you assign your interest in math and science to India, purely? Just curious.
Thank you for asking! To satisfy your curiosity -> I know all groups of people have individuals that are advanced in math and science. (And my father was born in Mumbai and is the first known person from his family to live outside of India so I imagine none of my Indian DNA is attributed to the British colonies in the Americas.)
Me and all my friends are mixed/black and we all graduated with math/science degrees. I simply attributed the largest part of my life/talents, to the largest part of my DNA breakdown because of my specific history. I can’t come on a video and say I’m good at everything I’m good at, because of my African DNA breakdown…what would that leave for my other my regions?…so I tried to find little things here and there about my life that may link me to my different regions(that may show some noticeable exceptionalities in certain categories) so that they can be praised/appreciated.
Imagine if I said my mental and physical abilities are all from my Indian background…would that sound right? What if I said my mental and physical abilities are all from my African side…would that sound right? The truth is, all of my mental and physical abilities are attributed to a complex mixture of several different factors that go beyond “Nature” and goes into “Nurture”(how we were raised).
Since I’m 50% Indian and my father (who is 100% or near 100% Indian) is the math genius between my parents, I simply made the connection. It would not make much sense for me to say I inherited my innate ability for math from my mother, when she is not as advanced as he is in that category. I hope this is clear but if not, then maybe I’ll have to make a video on this because you are not the first person to comment this, lol…
In reality, the traits and characteristics of all groups of peoples on earth is fairly/approximately equal…but not exactly 100% equal (if we somehow were able to quantify it)…usually, you can find some traits and characteristics that are a bit more common in some groups than others. I like to praise these exceptionalities from the different groups.
I know this is not the same as mathematical ability but just to steer away from mental characteristics for a second, let’s say, for example, you are a person with blue eyes…and you have one parent that is a blue eyed European and another parent that is a brown eyed African…it would make sense for you to say that your blue eyes are a European characteristic in this specific case. But does this statement mean that there are no people in Africa or of African decent that have blue eyes? No- it just a simple connection made based off of the information you have.
I know all about Atlantis, the Pyramids, the different forms of ancient math, etc. that are attributed to Africa…id like to make some videos on Atlantis and the pyramids of Giza actually…but Europe, Asia, and the Americas have their own wonders of mathematics as well …the Bosnian pyramids, the Mayan pyramids/calendar, puma punku, etc.
I hope this makes it clear that intelligent people may come from any part of the world whether it be India, a country in Africa, or anywhere else.
PS- If you check out the two other videos I posted right after this one, you’ll see that I talk about how intelligence is not as simple as some think it is. I speak about the 8 multiple intelligences because our society tends to have placed the most emphasis on logistics and linguistics when it comes to intelligence…but Bodily Kinesthetic, Interpersonal, Intrapersonal, Musical, Spatial, and Naturalistic Intelligence are just as important…yet often neglected. Thanks again 🙏🏾✊🏾💯

Ahhh, you will get some nice surprises mana…any vague ideas or predictions of what he might be?
ok , I got my results today 😳, 2 weeks earlier then they said I would...no surprise yet , more questions then answers...
did you take more then one companies DNA test?
also, I thought I would see something on my chart that I did not, no trace at all...so I'm more unusual to the eye then I thought.
also, no close relatives beyond like 4 and fourth removed on my father's side🤔, did a voice video , but I don't know that I want to share it now😊

Sir i think your premature greying is from your Indian side. They always graying early on their hair. I think it genetic thing.
Hmm, that is interesting but it’s definitely inherited from my grandfather on my mother’s side …my brothers have Dominican fathers(they are not indian) and we all have the exact same greying pattern. If you check the picture of him posted in my video, you can see he carries the greying pattern we all have. But who knows, maybe I’m getting the greys from
Both sides 😂
@@pseudoguru9523 lol good one. Hey I don't mean any thing by it. I just know Indians and lot of them are greying way too soon in their life.
@@sophiawilson8696 Gracias and oh no I didn’t take any type of way…I know several Indians and early greying is super common among them just like you stated…I just know we always talk about about greys in my fam because of my Dominican grandfather 👴🏽 so I may be the exception among early greying Indians 😂…
I'm white as Hell. Looks wise. My father's dad was Scandinavian. My mom took her DNA test and found out she is 15% Spanish, 8% African, 25% Balkan/ E. Europe. She looks very Indian (from India) and thought she was Native. Turns out it's her mix of Spanish/African and Greek Baltic roots.
Wow that’s sounds crazy- that video would be interesting to watch. I’m sure everyone in India would be amazed to see somebody who looks a bit Indian but is actually Spanish/African/Greek roots…What was your moms initial prediction of her results?
Its interesting b/c you look straight up Dominican. Alot of Dominicans have that pseudo-Indian look like Junot Diaz
