I wish the results would've said what American Indian tribe "LD" is part of, like the shows do that exactly pinpoint what African tribe a black American has descended from.
Have to seriously call into question the DNA test accuracy because I just watched him learn of his family tree on the show finding your roots. Pretty much his family emigrated to the U.S. from Poland and germany 2 generations back.
@@markglock2585 This is the reason I haven't taken a dna test yet. I always think that in a few more years, they will say "oh those first dna tests weren't really that accurate" So I am still waiting for them to develop them further instead of believing a possibly erroneous outcome.
Those tests were not close to as accurate as they are today. The old tests use to conflate Native American with Sephardic and Azkenazi Jewish DNA. 37% NA ancestry would result in a very different phenotypical appearance than what he looks like-even 20% would probably be noticeable
There's really only 3. Native American is also a mixed race. What is the scientific name for the other races outside of Caucasoid, Negroid and Mongoloid?
plus why would he be indian if he's native american thats fucking dumb, i mean i know we used to call them red indians but that's because we thought america was eastern asia. it's actually kinda racist.
Aisa Kemp native American is not mixed race so ur wrong there and ur also wrong about there being only three you forgot the fourth which is australoid from Australia and that was written back in the 1800s so the very least you could say about that is its extremely outdated ancient unintelligent none scientific horseshit lol but nice try
Really?!! I'll have to look into it. But, really, those two backgrounds seem hard to genetically confuse, and his parents, grandparents and ancestors before him had no morals makes a more reasonable explanation.
Markstubation01: Pacific Islanders are not European and middle easterners are not European. The Middle East is Northern Africa and parts of Asia. The pacific Island are indigenous people of Iceland and the pacific islands. That is a broad mixture of the mongoloid racial class. As far as middle easterners, they like people from India are Asian but fall into the Caucasoid racial class but they are Indo European but are not the same as a typical European or white. In a word or two, middle easterners and Pacific Islanders are not white.
That test was later found to be an antiquated method with grossly inaccurate readings of genetic markers, especially with groups of European Jews. Don't worry, he later found out he's just Jewish.
What!! you can be from any place in the world and be Jewish... Jewish it's not an europian thing. And your comment is stupid I was born in Peru and I'm Jewish and I have family from all around the world Jewish is a race and a religion I'm mixed with English blood, Brazilian, Moroccian and more...
+Miguel Mathews not true it's just a religion....... many sorts of people from different regions of the world practiced and adopted it in the past. It's basically a world religion (used to be a major religion a long time ago North africa, horn of africa, levant, and yemen not remotely anymore though.... belief trends tends to change I guess).
+Aj Cooke Jews did not intermarry for thousands of years, which gives them unique identifiable genetic markers on a DNA test. Scientifically speaking Jews ARE a race. One could obviously convert to Judaism and be religiously considered a Jew, but that doesn't change the fact that Jewish is a real ethnicity, and one can be ethnically Jewish without practicing Judaism.
HOW is that impossible?? David is NOT even a JEW? Ashkenazis are only jews by ADOPTING the Religion. NOT Racial jews. (DNA test will say "European Jew" which are NOT racial jews from Palestine. Ashkenazis migrated to GERMANY from eastern Russia(Today, Kazakhstan)
***** Ok, please explain racial differences in lung volume and other spirometric measurements, immune function, differences in onset of adolescence, in species of mouth bacteria, cranial capacity and brain size, neurological function among newborn infants. larger visual cortex among Australian aboriginals, roughly 8% archaic hominin (Neanderthal/Denisovan) DNA among Australasians, or why people of European descent have three times as many genes involved in lipid catabolism as well as differences in concentration of fatty acids in their brains due to specific Neanderthal genes. This is science. Medicine. :)
Testing error. Most Jews came here in the late 1800s and early 1900s (not that terribly long ago in other words). There's no way someone as old as that guy could be that much Native American and not know it.
I'd definitely get a more precise test after someone tells me that I'm more than 1/3 Indigenous American and look about 0/3. If it came from a single ancestor, that would mean that one of his parents was ~74% Indigenous. Um, I think it'd be pretty noticeable at that point. And Jews typically in-marry. And like you said, many Jews can trace their lineages back to when their ancestors immigrated from Europe. At most two centuries ago, probably less. At the same time... anything's POSSIBLE. Highly unlikely, though.
The best known quirk of the test Lopez Tonight is using is its problem distinguishing between Iberian, Italian, and Ashkenazi heritage. Many people of Iberian, Italian and Ashkenazi heritage are assigned Native American ancestry - and Larry David is Ashkenazi.
I just want to say that anyone who understands Genetics knows it's not so cut and dry. it doesn't say congrats you are white or you are not white. it matches your DNA with people around the world and sees where the highest matches are located. now I noticed that Middle east was not an option, so I gather that any DNA that doesn't fit in the black or white or East-asian(NOTE: that Native American is sometimes classified as East Asian,due to marginal errors, and the Genetic closeness of east Asians and Native Americans, which is why George Lopez has a large percentage of east Asian genes in his test results, given that he has no known Asian ancestry ) category would be classified as Native American. I also know that Jewish DNA is predominantly middle eastern and not European. Ashkenazi Jews which are the white Jews from Eastern Europe, are on average about 20-25% middle eastern, and 18-20% African sometimes Sub-Saharan, and sometimes North African. Jews actually have there own genetic testing because of this. when Jews use regular testing they get inaccurate results filled with marginal errors.
So true. I once heared a Japanese say to a palestinian, that he is "white". And the Palestinian got angry. And the Japanese didn't understand and asked: Why? But you are white. P: No, I'm not. J: What are you then? (Like totally confused, because no way he was black, asian, native american, Indian etc.) P: Middle eastern. J: Oh, okay. I just watched and died 😂😂😂
This is nonsense. If he had that much NA blood he'd look totally different. And if by chance he just happened not to exhibit NA traits one of his parents most certainly would.
Joe Budd no hes not thry mix up Ashkenazi with native American and admitted this and this is old if he retook the test he wouldn't have that percentage at all
+Layla raien Jew is a race because Jews marry other Jews mostly, so they have similar genes, which are traced back to the middle east. However, this DNA test did not have middle-eastern as a sub-group, and was probably a completely crappy test
Lol what are u talking about? The maternal DNA of european jews is pure european and the paternal DNA is partly middle eastern. They barely got any middle eastern in them. Albanians, Macedonians, Greeks and many others got way more middle eastern DNA but its not like they "Make up" their own races. The jewish race came to be with zionism just to be able to justify their "return" to palestine when in reality the jews that lived in palestine 2000 years ago converted to Christianity and Islam. Albanians got 20% levantic DNA, not like they have their own race.
Felix Rodriguez beause Europeans are not native to this continent and was taken over.. so is shameful.. native is something to be proud of you are from this continent.
Huitzilli, "native" means if you were born in the location where you reside. You may be confusing that with "indigenous", which has a peetty arbitrary meaning, if you want to be accurate. No one, except possibly certain ethinicities in Africa, are complaetely indigenous to anywhere. Almost all peoples migrated to where they are, and almost all places had earlier groups that lived in the same locations before they arrived. Even Australian Aborigines have tales of people there when they arrived. Latest DNA evidence shows "Native Americans" have a more complex background than previously thought, and more than one origin. Some are all or partially related to East Asians, with some of the partials also related to Europeans. Just watch the DNA analysis of the oldest modern human DNA from Lake Baikal area, where the child tested had links to both western Eurasia and "Native Americans". Some burials from a Peat Bog in Florida dated to 7,000 years ago all tested as European in origin, as have some in NE USA and Canada. There have been ancient remains found in western USA with completely European bone structure and red hair, that were not allowed to be tested, because some do not want to spoil their narrative of one migration story. The story of human history is much more complex than most acknowledge, or for some reason want to accept. Oh, primarily it is because most people are racists, who want to identify with a group that they feel is superior in some way, and do not want anything to do with others. I think people should get over it. I would be interested and curious to know my history, regardless of what groups I was tested as having contributed to my ancestry. All peoples had amazing journeys to pass through history to arrive at modern times.
Who even knows what they used for referent populations. It was just a parlor game at that time. These kind of stupid conclusions gave DNA testing for genealogical purposes a bad name. It took a long time to crawl back to respectability.
South West Asian and I am sure the Native American is Middle Eastern Jewish he looks so Jewish he's basically saying this guy is more Native American than Jessica Alba what a idiot!
i think that only applies if your a member of one of the federally recognized tribes in the U.S. i dont think the government will give you anything based on a DNA test.
These DNA test are less then .2% of your DNA. And only shows your family lines from your mother's, mother's, etc. line & from your father's, father's, etc. line. To put it in perspective if you are a male, and half African/black on your father's side and half Asian on your mothers side and you had a child with a female who is half African/black from her mothers side and half Asian on her father's side your child's DNA would come up 100% black. That's how inaccurate these tests can be in 1 generation. Imagine how mixed up the results are after 20 generations. You're better off researching you're family tree.
you are right! The middle east is North east Africa sits on the titanic plate as Egypt which is Africa. DNA doesn't lie everyone is learning that Jew is a converted people originated in Russia. They are called the Askenazi
@baby25ha I took this test two years ago and in the information package the company wrote that Native American markers have shown up in some Italians, Greeks, Russians, and Eastern Europeans because of mixing with Central Asian groups such as the Mongols. I think many Middle Easterners are a mixture of European, African, and Asian peoples.
See Christopher Columbus wasn't lying they were the east indies at one point in time. Maybe through Adam and Eves decendants who spread all over the world or before the continents broke apart 200 million years ago but according to science humans weren't even around then
Did he ever test again?, if so when and where can I see his results? Newest DNA tests show that Ashkenazi jews have European DNA. I'de be surprised if he did another or if he did, that he would release his results, because his whole persona is based on his being a jew.
If Larry David did 23andme's Ancestry Painting it might say 100% European and if he did Familytreedna's PopulationFinder it might say a mix of European and Middle Eastern.
This goes to show that those who call themselves are just Europeans who sat in a land that were not theirs in the past. This guy still call himself an Israelite but I believe that would require african\Asian to be in your DNA. Kick him out of the Jewish club
how do you know where his ancestors sat 1000 years ago? Edumacate yourself and Do a little lesson in history and you will find the jews made their own land that know one wanted. They were slaves and they fled to the middle of the dessert and as nomads they wandered for years with no home as they were chased and persecuted, and then eventually settled in a desolate place that no one wanted, but they stayed b/c they had peace. They made something out of nothing, and then eventually they were attacked and chased off their own land and years later they came back and resettled, but then they were chased off again. This is the unfortunate history of the jewish ppl. Eventually Britain & United states helped them get it back once again and they gave them the smallest peace of land that most didn't want. Of course the arabs rejected this even though It was the home of the jewish ppl 1000 years ago! No one wanted it or settled it before them...read your history! This is not my opinion, this is public knowledge if you do a little research. Don't read some one-sided biased story. read books! Some jew haters try to deny this history the same way some try to deny the holocaust ever happened. 1000 years from now ignorant ppl will say the holocaust never happened just like many now say that most of the land in Israel wasn't originally settled by the jews even though it was.
spellcheck changed it to dessert. Judaism is a religion not race. Ethiopian jews are black, germanic are white, middle eastern are arabic, and the list goes on...thought so!
Jew is not European that's a Fact. original jews come from the middle east not europe don't get it twisted. yes there are europeans that converted to judaism and that doesnt make them hew by ethnicity as per say.
Anyone can be half Unicorn and not know it. lol. There are a lot of lost families out there since boarding schools, so i am not surprised that there are people out there who do not know their heritage because of it. It's not a stupid thing to know your blood quantum, to learn where you come from and not every one in the world is fortunate to know like you or I. If he truly is, he would go to tribal enrollment and get a test done to identify what band or tribe he comes from through a data bank. If he does that, it shows he cares and wants to know his heritage. Other than that, it is a choice to know ones self to a cellular level. Have a good weekend!
Concerning this DNA test... "...a lesser known quirk is its tendency to assign Native American percentages to many of Iberian, Italian and Ashkenazi heritage - and Larry David is Ashkenazi." www.huffingtonpost.com/megan-smolenyak-smolenyak/playing-with-dna-is-larry_b_402795.html
Larry david is way smarter than you based on his success and your comment. Don't be a hater b/c he makes more money than everyone you know combined. Most comedians are very observant and smart
Maybe because he's mostly Russian and indian and not HEBREW at all... DNA says "AfRICAN AMERICANS" are the descendants of Abraham... Don't believe me???? ASK Gogle or youtube who the true Israelites are... n have a good day.
gogle or google can say that,,,, but there have been multiple dna tests done that do not show that and it has been debunked ..... so dna says african americans lol.. not africans but only african americans lmao...n you have a good day 2
"A group of scientists now offers a public warning that these ancestry tests have little scientific backing, and are often so unreliable and inaccurate that they amount to "genetic astrology.""
oooh, the whole possibly haing indigenous roots part was not handled well...and i wish that he would invite someone to come in and actually explain everything, like why this-and-that % and what it means and stuff
***** MIdnight, he said, under the applause, that "this is terrific!" or "Great", but he clearly did not have a negative reaction to possible Native American ancestry.
I don't know why DDC hasn't pulled the plug on it because everybody who is aware of this type of testing and is interested in it wants to do updated tests.I don't think very many people in the last year or two have bought this test at all because they know it is outdated
+Temps , yes, the test he used is antiquated. I have a different thread about it on this comment page, but basically, this old test categorizes Ashkenazi DNA as Native American.
You could look it up. The geneticists who created the procedures that this show uses acknowledge that it conflates Native American and Ashkenazi DNA. It's old technology.
Obviously this guy is not Native American at all. 34%?, he definitely would have some recognized features, not to mention he would look very Sephardic since he is already a Jew. Secondly J1 haplogroup is not European in origin at all. This is a definite joke. All of these are. This guy could not pass as anything else except Jewish. Look at him closely on google and tell me if you see any Ameridian traits? Not the nose, forehead, or skull shape has any Mongoloid Ameridian features. He has the typical Jew Caucasoid skull, with the curvature of the nose to match. This guy knows very well he has no Native American, and if he does, it is roughly 0-12% at most. I have been shocked sometimes, but most of the time peoples' phenotype will match their DNA results when they take a test if the person who classifies them are good. I know he has Dinarid and armanoid since he is a Jew, and his other admixture is probably some form Europid since no Jew will score 100% J1 or Jew since they all have European admixture if they lived in Europe.
Youre ignorant to believe that features are a number 1 way of determining some ones race....now we know youre a racist. Its a very low percentile rate of people who are 100% of anything the entire world has different ethnicities living in countries of which they are not from.
just because he has 34% native American, doesn't mean he'll have dark skin or hair. Pigmentation is really complicated, it's controlled by a lot of different genes across your DNA. It goes to show why you could have variation, for example, in pigmentation within family. One member can have the features and another could be super white. also For a variety of reasons, results of autosomal tests should be taken as an indication, not an absolute
If Larry's DNA was tested through a reputable company, rather than this one, and then run through quality calculators like Eurogenes K36, he would show about 2-3% North African, 40-50% West Asian, 50-60% European, 0% Pacific Islander, and between 0-2% Siberian (including Amerindian-related ancestry).
What company do you suggest? I'm interested in doing a test like this one. What do you think of Acenestry DNA? Is not the sam as DNA by ancestry, is another company
Native American does include Mexican or Latino which is a combination of Spanish European and Native American that crossed the Bering Straight 40,000 years ago = the "cosmic race". I suspect Larry David is part Latino. Well he lives in California or does he have Jewish ancestry from Latin America. Please tell us David. You are not alone. There is no such thing as a pure Jew.
People, Jews are not a race of people! It's a religion! Larry David is a white man who happens to come from a family who follows Judaism. All of the white Jews who you see in this country, their families mainly came from Russia and Poland.
Jews from Poland usually have less than 12 percent Slavic ancestry genetically. They have much more DNA in common with Middle Eastern peoples like Samaritans, Druze, and Syrians.
Please stop, you have no idea what you're talking about. Jews are probably the most genetically unique group on the planet. And no, not all Jews you see in the states come from eastern Europe...
Why would Jews be the "most genetically unique group on the planet?" The Ashkenazi Jews have been settled in Europe for 2000 years, and have interbred extensively. At best you could say the Jews are a mix of European and Middle Eastern stock.
cubedmack Jews come from two houses, the house of Juda, and the house of Benjamin, all others from that area are Israelites, not jews, yet all Jews are Israelites, I wish people actually studied history
This is probably not true, since older forms of DNA testing couldn't always differentiate between Ashkenazi Jews, Central Asian Turks, and Native Americans. I seriously doubt Larry David has much, if any, Native American ancestry.
@brandnubian69 I wasn't quoting exact dates, for I don't know them. What I DO know, and what you just acknowledged, is the point I was making to him that whenever humans did come to North America...India did not exist. He said Native Americans were all immigrants from India.
These tests are pretty good. He'd have to take another test like 23andme to see if it matches the one from the Lopez show. But there is a chance. We don't know who entered his family in the past.
i did my ancestry DNA and The kids with the christmas special pricing. Take a look in my playlist ancestry DNA for all of our results if you're interested
@rockandstroll lol james watson is 16% african doe he look black at all? Lol admixture does not change ur features much anyway. You should know that. most people in america are mixed somewhere down the line.
I think "SRNF" was referring just to this clip. The test that Larry David took,Ancestrybydna 2.5 from DNA Diagnostics Center,is an outdated test that listed jewish DNA as "Native American"
@oodlesofosz I don't remember "semetic" being a category george lopez listed in the video. "european" means their "semetic" blood spent time in europe and gained the dna this test marks as "european"
I did this test. 13% Sub Saharan African; 2% Native American; 1% Chinese & the rest European. The next one I'll do will be the mitochondria DNA test which is just from female line; carried through the women.
he is a member of ashkenazi jews whose people originated from khazars that was a state on the north coast of black sea.And Khazars were Turk migrated from Central Asia from where north American indians came. Most of the european and Russian jews,Ashkenazi,are the descendants of Khazars. These are the facts or allegations I read on wikipedia,what do you think?What do the ashkenazis think?
I'm not actually a Spaniard, I'm Spanish-American. I was born in the U.S., but my family came here from Spain. I've been to Spain 21 times, so I'm pretty much familiar with it. I have relatives living there now. Anyway, Jews came before that time, so there is no guarantee that his family came at that time. Jews were present in the U.S. early on also. Germans were emigrating to the U.S. early on, and German Jews came also. But like I said, you don't know who entered his family.
Why must you attack me by calling me names? Are you not a grown up capable of having an adult debate without resorting to childish name calling. That's just rude. Now, you don't know when his family arrived, so you don't know who entered his family, so it could be possible. Why is it insane for him to be more Native than Lopez? because Lopez is dark? Remember, lopez is 4% African, so yeah he's darker. I am a white Hispanic also. I am descended from Spaniards from Canary Islands, Spain.
That's not true. One could get Native American ancestry at any point in time. Native Americans are not extinct. Also, Germans were here long ago too, so anyone could have Native American ancestry. When did Larry David's family arrive? I know these tests are pretty good. I don't see how Jewish ancestry would show as Native American. You don't know who entered his family, and what ancestry they may have had. Jews came to this country long ago too, not just after world war 2.
@Ilikemustard I'm not conflating ethnicity with nationality. I just gave examples of dislikes of White groups against members of the same race. Jews are White, so I gave comparisons of what it is similar to. I'm not saying Jewish is a nationality. I know the difference between nationality and ethnicity, in which there are special cases when nationality can be used as an ethnicity pertaining to a culture as well. But, still, Jews are Caucasians.
@kristina1097 Yes. The ethnic Jews shared a common religion, so it shared a name. It is possible to have an atheist Jew, for example Mark Zuckerberg, who is ethnically Jewish but religiously atheist. Islam is not an ethno-religious group, as its history is not rooted in a single ethnicity, and many ethnicities make up its population, such as Arabs and sub-Saharan Africans.
