In this video, Chris and Jennifer sit down to unveil their long-anticipated ancestry DNA results! The results are a jaw-dropping eye-opener. What did you expect them to receive?
@@mattc236, I'm sure that many people hate their own appearances, or some aspects of it. But being in denial at this guy's level is quite mental. It's as if a black person gets shocked to find out his/her DNA ancestry is mainly African. I mean, come on!
Remember skin color has nothing to do with it, always start with a blank canvas. Eva Longoria is like 70% European and she is very dark skinned. I have a cousin who is very Ivory white skinned (cannot tan just burns) with big green/blue eyes and he is 60% Native American, 10% sub Saharan African and 30% Iberian go figure?
My skin is so white people often think I'm Italian or Spanish. When I got my DNA results, I scored 37-41% Native American and I wasn't surprised at all. I even thought I'd score close to 50% NA. Why? Because my dad is and looks very Amerindian. My family even thought he was 100% at one point. My mom's 1/4 Chinese and 3/4 Spanish and I was surprised when I scored almost 18% Chinese. Thought I'd score 12-13%. Funny how my exotic looks can fool anyone. But in the end, looks don't mean much...
I knew I would get a good amount of Native American but I didn't think I would get as much as I did. I got 97.7% Native American and only 1.4% European. I can't say that I am not happy with the results because I feel so proud of that percentage!
What is your background and where are you from? I watched a video about a Peruvian girl in the US who thought she was mestizo but she was actually 98 or 99% Native American
Jc Dizon my parents are from the same village in the state of Mexico. They both speak an indigenous language called Mazahua. I look a bit Native American but my eyes make me look more East Asian. Also my mom is pretty fair skin that’s why I thought the percentages would be different. It said that I have either a parent or grandparent that is 100% Native American
Karina Romero displaying African depigmentation genes doesn't mean anything 😉 Humans are 100% African, 99.9% identical and 100% African derived [nat geo's Africans under the skin]. Modern ethnicities were created 10-40k years ago but African depigmentation genes didn't flourish until 5-8k years ago 😂 Hispanic-African dna is 60-400k years old 😂 "When it comes to skin color, the team found a patchwork of evolution in different places, and three separate genes that produce light skin, telling a complex story for how European’s skin evolved to be much lighter during the past 8000 years. The modern humans who came out of Africa to originally settle Europe about 40,000 years are presumed to have had dark skin, which is advantageous in sunny latitudes. And the new data confirm that about 8500 years ago, early hunter-gatherers in Spain, Luxembourg, and Hungary also had darker skin: They lacked versions of two genes-SLC24A5 and SLC45A2-that lead to depigmentation and, therefore, pale skin in Europeans today." www.sciencemag.org/news/2015/04/how-europeans-evolved-white-skin
Good Vibes... Shut your filipino ass up. At least some of the Mexicans have 40-60% European blood... not like you pinoys that claim to have "Spanish" blood. I saw a video with a filipina get her world crushed once she found out she was 100% Asian...hahaha she actually thought she was European...the ones that live in denial are the Flips.
That was Hispania or España. Iberia was the limit of the world for the ancient Greeks It was the coast of Spain and also a Kingdom (302 BC-580 AD) in Georgia in the Caucasus. Spain was named by the Phoenicians and their colony Carthage. The Romans took the name. Iberia word is used wrongfully as Hispania (also in Spain).
cobra9x your ignorant Iberian peninsula is the land/mountain mass that 2 countries sit on, its not a race or ethnicity. Portugal was a country before Spain and they are Portuguese's not Spanish, also Hispania origins are in northern Spain not south do your research better.
Mamma Mamma race means African physical traits, troll and 100% of human DNA is African Humans are 100% African, 99.9% identical and 100% African derived [nat geo's Africans under the skin].

Matt C Wtf is wrong with you? The woman on the right doesn’t look European at all. She looks Native as fuck, she’s dark, and look at her bone structure, hair and eyes. The one in this photo does also looks Mestiza. You must be a child, or maybe you want all Latinos to be identified as white. Well bad news buddy, just because you’re part European doesn’t mean you can pass as white.
Indio Mexicano sir she looks super native. Get your eyes fixed. I could tell and many other people could tell she was, why couldn’t you? You’re just stupid
I agree. They highlight and throw a party with Native American, Africa, etc but shit all over the fact that they have blood from Europe-that is the social politics that they are taught.
@@thomastank8458 Why they define themselves as "hispanic" Hispania ( now Spain ) was the name of province of the Roman Empire. They were born in Spain? In any case, they are Hispanic Americans as natives of countries that were colonies of the Spanish empire. It doesn't make much sense either, but, anyway... Americans don't define themselves as Anglo-Americans, for example.
Some Spaniards have Sardinian blood, so that could have come to her through the Spanish people. For example this girl is like 98% or so from the Iberian peninsula and the rest is from Sardinia: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bV23UWohR6M.html
because we don't talk about our Amerindian ancestry and we don't identify as Native American even if we "look it". It's not part of our culture. We are Catholics Ecuadorians, or Mexicans or Chilieans, etc and Indians are not part of our social group either. We don't even speak the same language. Different religion, customs, everything except for the commons ancestors.
@@LAVirgo67 Not really, I can definitely tell she has a lot of Native American in her. She has very light skin but I wouldn't consider her "White" looking.
Jennifer is a typical Latin American: Mixed Spanish and Indigenous blood - with more European than she realizes. Then, the Spaniards themselves were already mixed with the Moors, who where North African, and Arab Middle Eastern. It is known that some Polynesians (Oceanians) reached the Americas long before the Europeans did, so that is a possible explanation - or just some random immigrant who somehow ended up in her country some two hundred years ago. The Spaniards colonized the Philippines and stopped in the Polynesian islands on the way, so that may be how her ancestor got on board.
Iberian = from the peninsula where Spain and Portugal are. Ashkenazi Jewish - Jews from Eastern Europe. Somehow a small percentage shows up very often in Latin America, and I don't know if there was an unknown XVII century immigration that mixed into the local Spanish population and did not keep the identity, unlike later Jewish immigrants. I know about my family's immigration, but that is in the late XIX century.
Another thing people don't understand about DNA screening in general, is that you can have a 1/2 Black, 1/2 White Mom & a 1/2 Chinese, 1/2 Arab Dad & you *ARE NOT* going to be 1/4 White, 1/4 Black, 1/4 East Asian 1/4Middle Eastern. You get 1/2 your DNA from each parent. But that *DOES NOT* mean you get it in equal portions. You might get 3/8 Black & only 1/8 White from Mom & 11/16 Arab but only 5/16 Chinese from Pops. It's not like dividing up penny candy when you were a kid. You could be my 100% blood Brother & our percentages could be different & I might get DNA that you don't have at all! I might get all the now & laters & you might get all the lemon heads. I doesn't work like that.
Perhaps the Ashkenazi Jewish result that Hispanics get is from the fact that Ashkenazim are related to Sephardic Jews and Arabs, who inhabited Spain for a long time. It's basically Middle Eastern DNA.
Sephardim, Mizrahim & Ashkenazim have different DNA. I don't test positive for "European Jewish". But I do test positive for North African/Middle Eastern. I'm Sephardi. Ashkenazi will test positive for European Jewish, maybe some Middle Eastern & also Central European.
Kevin Clepps so? Humans are 100% African, 99.9% identical and 100% African derived [nat geo's Africans under the skin].

I just got my ancestry DNA results on June 2 2019. 47% native American 31% Spain 8% Italian 3%Portugal 2% France 3%Senegal 1% European Jewish 1% Ireland & Scotland 1% sardinia 1%Philippines 2% Benin/Togo My father from jalisco and mother from Michoacán, me myself a Mexican American born in L.A California,Mexicans are a multi cultural race very diverse.
LMAO at all the videos of various people being shocked at their DNA results. Every video I've seen has people getting completely expectable results, based on what they look, and being totally shocked and surprised by it.
I really want to get my DNA tested. I've been told that I look Asian, Indian, Middle Eastern, Italian, etc... Personally I think I look like an average Mexican, I don't understand why people don't just assume I'm Mexican in the first place.
I get that all the time too, particularly Indian. I have to tell them that no, I'm Mexican. Yet they tell me that there's no way I'm Mexican as my face somehow screams out Indian! I believe I could probably have some gypsy ancestry as gyspsies are a group of people that left India hundreds of years ago and made it into Spain and from there, to the New World. I have also gotten Middle Eastern a lot. Once a Hispanic lady warned her daughter and my mother not to get close to me as I could have a bomb. This was shortly after 9/11 I was only 9!
I thought the girl was from the Philippines/chinese!!! When she said my parents are from El Salvador I was like "NO WAY!!! I did not see that coming!" My parents are from El Salvador too but I look nothing like her! My family's surname is Italian though and my great grandparents where from the "whiter" regions of El Salvador with light skin/eyes, blonde hair etc., which explains a lot lol.
#GhostlightVideos #Chris # Jennifer you both need to go claim your Native American side by go claiming you some land on the Reservation!! If you can prove you are a bloodline of Native American they allow you to live on their land. Both my husband and I are Filipino (Pacific Islander) so when my son told me he was doing this he asked us what we knew if anything about our history. Although I was a Filipino and white (Mistesa) I knew our history was from the Philippines (Gapan Neuva Cija and as well as UK/Great Britain. As for my husband we knew he was from Cebu, Phillipines. So for the most part we knew he would be Pacific Islander and also from Spain as we knew some Filipino's have originated from the War with Lapu Lapu and Magellan. We also knew his grandfather's family was African American because they were slaves (Great Great Grandmother) and his Great Grandfather originated from Feasterville, South Carolina. Which is where they were slaves and purchased the land back hence the name Feaster. We also knew the came from New Finland. We also knew his Triple Great Grandmother was Creek Indian saw pictures of her with her tribe dressed head to toe in gear. We were a little shocked he showed more of his father's heritage than mine. Camaroon, Congo, Bantu People, Mali, Benin and Togo, Ivory Coast/Ghana, Northwestern Europe, (Finland) Portuguese (Spain) and China. We were shocked to see even 1% China, also showed not to see any Native American. 52% was Filipino. 13% was from Great Brittain/Whales this is from my side of the family. However...we all know genetics is a little wonky especially if your so many different nationalities. So my husband and I have 3 children together. Where my oldest son showed more Filipino in him my other son showed 49% Filipino and the other 40% was African American and then 10% Great Brittain/Whales and the 4% Native American. The rest was little here and there. Where as my daughter showed 12% African American 50% Filipino and just percentages I can't see right now. So you may share the same genetics from both parents you might have more of one parent than the other or some might not show up at all. Weird and tricky huh?
Iberian is Spain and Portugal and if you have Italian also understand Spain was part of Roman Empire at one time so there are some remains . It is important to understand Europe and old world migrations’ everywhere . That made each country of today what they are .
Middle East and jewish DNA could be from 600 years moors occupation of Spain-Portugal, many North African has also 1/3 Iberian, 1/3 Arab, 1/3 North/West Africa as the results of Moor occupation and inquisition in Spain
Endlessly repeating stereotypes. The Spaniards did not mix with the Moors. There are historical reason that explain this fact. But, it is better not to argue wirh ingorants. Look at the video. Look haplogroup Rb1, marked in red. It is the most important in Europe. Write down the % of the Spaniards. Also look at haplogroup Eb1b1, marked in light brown. It is Balkan, Middle East, North African. ALL EUROPEAN have it. Look a % of Spaniards. That is for the Phoenicians. It has nothing to do with the Moors or with your fantasies of ignorant. EUROPE, HAPLOGROUP by COUNTRY. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FeMt-R_2wPA.html
CynthiaSantovena CynthiaSantovena yes I see...nice picture of him. A purebred Spaniard as you say... As for myself I’m a descendant of Mestizos & Genizaros of Taos, Mora New Mexico ...I do apologize if I led to believe I’m a purebred Spaniard...I’m just mixed like the rest of Mexicans/ Latinos
Like hello, Hispanics are all over the place. My husband is Mexican and he is 60% European, 25% Native American and the rest is a mixture Asian, African and a bunch of other things.
Girl a little over 4% European more then Native is not that much more. You make it sound like being indigenous is a bad thing?? o_0 you're basically half native American. Embrace it.
The moment I saw Chris I thought he is Filipino-Aztec Mexican mix and his face wouldn't stand out here in the Philippines. In fact he even look more Asian than I am. I wonder why is he even surprised about his >60% Asian/Native American. He's handsome guy btw.
Spanish Conquistador means not just Southern Europe (including Italy, from the Romans in Spain) but also North African (Moors in Spain)...So, the Conquistador part is more than 50%
The spaniards really liked the Americas as their second home. That's the product of migration. The weather is similar to spain. Many of spaniards took the natives as their women so the end results are hybrid people. The guys in the video really look ibearians with little mix of others only that they have darker complexion.
Did yall catch, the part when she says I dont want to be like 99.9 Native American but she has no problem having the blood of conquistadors who killed her native ancestors.
Sardinians are a very disntinctive dNA they were mainly isolated from the rest of Europe in the Neolithic era although anything less than 1% is technically “noise” it’s still something my breakdown in the European side was 35.7% Iberian 4.0 Southern European 0.2 Sardinian 1.2% British and Irish 0.1% Scandinavian Native American I got another 45% 23 and me was very in-depth!
What I like about 23andme compared to others is that they seem more honest. If they aren't sure about a specific ethnicity, they just point to a broader area, like Southern European. Other tests give you 2 or more different ethnicities, seems like too much guessing.

@sneksnekitsasnek I’ve talked about the Phoenicians. The Carthaginians were Phoenicians. I have not mentioned the Jews because they have been inbreeding throughout their history. There is a minimal Sephardic percentage in Spain through the converted Jews. That doesn’t mean that all Spaniards have Jewish genes.
@sneksnekitsasnek If you ask, what did the Jews have to protect themselves from?, it's because you know very little about history... in that case, I'll skip this talk. I don't feel like giving a long explanation
I'd sit alone and watch your light My only friend through teenage nights And everything I had to know I heard it on my radio You gave them all those old time stars Through wars of worlds invaded by Mars You've made 'em laugh, you've made 'em cry You made us feel like we could fly So don't become some background noise A backdrop for the girls and boys Who just don't know or just don't care And just complain when you're not there You've had your time, you've had the power You've yet to have your finest hour Radio
Husband didn't tell us what country his parents were from. BOTH of you are SO MIXED. Actually she looks more Indian than he does. Latino's racial mixture is MORE INTERESTING than Mixed-race Americans. Mixed-race Americans are NOT as mixed-up as Latinos. You have MUCH MORE Indian blood. AND they have the Anglo blood, which Latino's don't have. (and Latino's are better looking) So interesting, Thanks for sharing
Gonna report all the nasty comments I read. Please decent and educated people join me in reporting these assholes that write racist stuff in the comment section with the comfort of internet anonimity.
Broadly east Asian and South East Asian = Filipino who settled in Mexico particularly in the western states of Nayarit, Colima, Guerrero and Oaxaca by the hundreds of thousands during the Galleon trade, facts.
+twin two ~because it's fun to be white especially when traveling one gets a lot of compliments and seeing one's tan lines and our Caucasian facial features it's the standard of world beauty 😈
Ser Stormcrow i don't think so. I saw a lot of dna from spaniards and they didn't have any middle eastern dna. bereber and morrocan is more probably but I didn't see it. Maybe I from people from the south of Spain take it would be more results. Also nothing of Jews. I took myself DNA test (I'm from Spain) I'm 100% European. I was expecting DNA from other places based on what people say but it was not true. My both parents are from the north of Spain. Maybe is these areas there was no mixture with moors.
for the young man East Asia is linked with his Native American this most likely means that the Native Americans were the Eastern Asians that came across the Russian - Alaskan land bridge. In the US the Navajo also related to this hapla group. He must remember he carries more of his dad's Y than his moms mitochondrial DNA for the young woman, Azk Jews inhabited Iberia. There is also new evidence that Egyptians migrated to Iberia from Northern Africa.
I consider myself Mexican but people say I look white my parents both have pale skin my dad has black hair and brown eyes. my mom has brown hair and hazel greenish eyes and I also have pale skin and hazel greenish eyes along with brown hair i haven’t took ancestry dna or 23 and me not sure what to expect when I do. The rest of my family looks really white and not Native at all except for my grandfather who looks mixed white and Native American the rest of my family look really white
You do realize Mexican is a nationality not a race, right? And those people you had encountered are probably unaware of the outside world of higher chances.
Bendiciones! I will never get an DNA result. You are, who you say you are...not the version you was born, but awakening to become. Conforming to this paradigm slow downs inner peace, peace of mind, mind elevation & becoming the Supreme Version in "this" human experience. R.I.P All ancestors! Conclusion: I'm indigenous. I'm not Taino, Native American, Hispanic nor am I'm Black...I'm busy building my best version & future legacy. ~Bachelor I Stand...Tiene Dignidad!
I am filipino At my dna ancestry are 72% south east Asian 17 % Iberian 4 % Polynesian 3% native American 2%western Europe 1.7% west african 0.3 % scandanivian
lol if you had that high of a native percentage then your dad must be in the 80-90% range which is extremely high for a Mexican. what part of Mexico was he from?
@@emilykathleenn Like mexicans dont't look native... Half of Guatemala's population is mixed but they don't migrate as much as the Mayas. Yes, Ricardo Arjona looks like King Pacal😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Me entinendes verdad?? yo también lo quiero hacer soy española pero aquí han pasado un montón de pueblos, desde visigodos(Alemanes y franceses) italianos ( conquista romana), Árabe y Judía los sefarditas que hablan español antiguo aún hoy en día, y bueno Nápoles y Cerdeña fue Español hasta 17'00 Así que ya veremos.
I am a little disturbed about how hispanics who look mixed with white and Native American in these videos are either somewhat upset or very upset about being European while black African ancestry is celebrated. I fully understand why hispanics would want to be mostly Native American as opposed to the other two, but between the other two, white ancestry is much more common than black unless you are an actual black person from Latin America. Why is white ancestry so shocking considering the history and why is black ancestry celebrated more even though it is more of an oddity in hispanics who look like a mixture of white and Native American?
we know that the Spanish colonized the Philippines 400 years on the way back stop off in Tahiti saw some hula dancers he said I like it get on board going back to aztlan
The boy looks more than 90% indian and 5% Spanish and probably around 5% African. The girl the same. I thought the girl was your sister. I think she is 15-20% Spanish and 80% indian.
So the land bridge theory is correct or they still haven't been able to determine how Asians arrived to the Americas. A boat/ship was considered too advanced at the time, especially for a mass migration.
Un dato, si te esperabas más porcentaje de España estabas en lo cierto pues la mitad sur de Italia y la Isla Italiana de Cerdeña durante 300 años aprox. fueron de España , por eso a mi me salió un porcentaje alto de Cerdeña. Por otra parte, la parte norte de África también te sale, porque fueron los que estuvieron en la península ibérica durante 800 años. Por todo esto tienes más en común con los españoles de lo que aparentemente te sale en los porcentajes, estos datos pueden confundir un poco. Besitos de tu hermana española :)
TopHypes I got east Asia on my DNA results too after researching I come to learn that it lead back to native American . Some of the first people here we're east Asia and African
Your African dNA would be Sub Saharan African or N. African, Not African American... African Americans are U.S. citizens of Sub Saharan African descent...
Most people of Latin America are of Spanish/Portuguese, Native American and African ancestry. You guys have a diverse good mix but the results aren't much of a surprise to me given the history of Latin America.
Why you define yourselves as "hispanic" Hispania was the name of Spain, which was a province of the Roman Empire. You were born in Spain? In any case, you are Hispanic Americans as natives of countries that were colonies of the Spanish empire. It doesn't make much sense either, but... Americans don't define themselves as Anglo-Americans, for example...
That have sense, because around 90% of population in Hispanic-América are a mix between spaniards and natives. U.S citizens, are not americans because they don't have american blood, they just born in a continent called América. Different type of civilizations, anglos and hispanics. Spain was like Rome, introducing the new territories into their society, anglos just killed the native population and took the resources. Spain left a big legacy where they were. The rest of countries in América, none.
@@jacoboarca8516 It's amazing how hard it is for people to understand the basics. Hispania is the old name for Spain. If you weren't born in Spain, why are you Hispanic? I'm just setting the example of the Americans. They don't use the fact of their past as a British colony to put the term "Anglo" before the word American. They define themselves as American because they were born in the United States. Can you explain to me why native Guatemalans, who do not have a single drop of Spanish blood, are Hispanic?
@@missievk5929 because Hispanic is a cultural concept, not an ethnic concept. Hispania was the name gave to iberian peninsule, as the greeks gave iberia. Hispano, means a language, religion, culture in comun. And also, majority of people from any country where they speak spanish have spanish blood.
Also, England had colonies, Spain not. They had viceroys, that means extensions of the crown. The peninsule was divided as hispanic-América, so they were spanish as nationality as well. You just have to see how many things Spain did in América and how many, England, France, Portugal..
@@jacoboarca8516 No, HISPANO is a nationality. The nationality of those BORN IN SPAiN. You are changing the thesis of your first comment. There you were talking about mixing Spaniards and native. Now you are changing the focus. To define oneself as HISPANO means: Spaniard, European.It IS not the same as African Americans: Africans born in America. Tarahumara are Europeans born in America ??? Americans would have more reason to define themselves as Anglo-Saxon since, as you say, they don't mix. They are American-born Europeans. What is the problem with yours nationalities? Why the stubborn to define yourself by two European terms? Hispanic and Latin. Why are you trying to hide yours pre-Hispanic origin???
