WHAT AM I? MY ANCESTRY DNA RESULTS: SO SHOCKED! 

Kikuyus intermarried with Somalis that is why you have middle eastern DNA

Watu light wako Africa. It doesn't mean necessarily it's from outside.

My guess is 35% of Kikiyu will show recent 2-25% Asian and European. 4% Nilotic. 40% other non Congo. Kenya Luo 60% Nilo-Sudanic, 30% East Bantu, 10% Saharan from ancient Egyptian. More latter.

Thyphon YT 😂😂

U guys still dnt know that the omans once ruled the kenyan coast... Ohhh comeon

asthma attack I think she meant nonafrican African 10% who knows lol

youre the real mvp

Tysm

Girl I knew there was something I liked about you, we’re family! That’s amazing I don’t mind at all that you looked up my information I’ll do the same and yup you’re right about the Ancestry results changing drastically I’ve been meaning to do an update. Its super interesting. Thank you so much for sharing! Also, I’d love to stay in contact my name is Yvonne.Mugure on IG please send me a DM when you’re available!

Ikr! We're family for sure! My gedmatch kit number is A462173 if you want to check out my results. Alas! I'm not on IG (yet). Can't wait for your video update. I'm considering doing one as well that will address my gedmatch results.

Yea I learned more about he migration after filming this video and I was shocked about the North African too!

And the East African Arab slave trade of Africans.

Sallie Andrea the funny thing is she is not from the cost of kenya she's from the interior of Kenyan

Exactly totally agree with you, i've been saying that many Sub-Saharan countries been having admixtures as well...for some reason a lot of people don't wanna buy it...don't know why. They pretend that Sub-Saharan African can't have admixtures...but yes I'm 100% down with u on that one

Cheetah 6 but it happened in Kenya.Did you know Arab slave traders were the first outsiders to see lake Victoria.

You have spoken like a clan of elders! Thank you!!!

You should be happy that you have Bantus, all of us has Bantu in us from the Americas it means that you are Hebrew Bantus which is connected to the bible , I guess you guys are shocked to know that one!!!

That's Bantu specifically

@@isiomaamma9869 no we are not

I think they could get more specific results if they had more samples to compare against, which just means more African people would need to get the test/provide Ancestry DNA with their DNA.

Wait go back a bit. How do Somali's and Ethiopian play in Kenya. Ancestory .please explain

Most people don't know but taitas are barely Bantu. They have alot of Somali and Galla DNA even their language is part cushitic.

Mahad Mohammed that would have been the case if she was from the coastal region which she wasn't also the Arabs didn't pass through Kenya to reach Uganda because there tribes in the interior were too hostile opting to go through Tanzania so there shouldn't be any Arab mixture in her

That whole Bantu migration is a lot of bullshit ... No historian or genetic research can prove it. Stop dividing us

@@longstrobe2547 It does not require any rocket science my brother. Bantus from Congo to Kenya to South Africa share a lot. The languages share alot of words. Do you know how far it is from South Africa to Kenya? Do you think the cultures languages are shared out of nothing? They must have been at one place at some time.

@@deniskanja1952 it was the baths specifically the buganda and coastal tribes of Kenya and Tanzania who traded with the Arabs. The batus were long distance traders. So the Arabs didn't go to the interior of East Africa

@@Anonymous-km6me you need to pick up a book and read the Arabs and their mixed breed children traveled as far as Uganda, and even converted the Baganda king and his people to Islam

I would try it to compare it to the one you have already done.

Estone Njuguna Thank you🤗 I’ll probably do an updated video with those results too!

You are most likely Kikuyu, many Kikuyu have cushitic dna from Arabia. The language is Bantu, but had lots of migration from Arabia. Gikuyu and Mumbi would most have likely come from the middle east and his daughters married by the Bantu who moved from West Africa.

marx I am Kikuyu! I didn’t know that prior to taking the test and heck afterwards. I’m doing so much more research now!

"You are most likely Kikuyu, many Kikuyu have cushitic dna from Arabia. The language is Bantu, but had lots of migration from Arabia. Gikuyu and Mumbi would most have likely come from the middle east and his daughters married by the Bantu who moved from West Africa."...guesswork. do you have evidence for your claim of bantu migration from west Africa? it is all what you have been taught from the greenberg hypothesis of bantu expansion from west Africa the border between nigeria and cameroon. The cushitics are e3b1b and e1b1b which are horn of African/african in origin. They do have some genes from arabia through admixture, but they are not from arabia and their roots can be traced back to africa and not to the arabian pensula. the arabia genes are arab genes and not cushite genes. your story of Gikuyu and mumbi migrations from the middle east is fake. The kikuyu, just like the cushites get their arabian genes through admixture with the arabs considering their are arabs in Kenya and the swahili coast covered coast Kenya. since kikuyu are bantu then gikuyu and mumbi were bantu and the names mumbi and gikuyu are bantu in linguistic origin. stop making up things out of stupidity. are you begging for the kikuyu to be arabs? stop your nonsense. please do not show your stupidity.

Yea the more ancestry videos I watch and research I do I the more I realize that as well!

Polishinggold Yes so I’m sure the videos you’ve seen I’ve noticed how nearly all East Africans Kenyans,Ethiopians,Somalians,Eritreans,etc have North African or middle eastern in there results

Reis Anderson Yes they do! I honestly thought it was just them though as silly as that sounds I was prepared for my own results😩

Kenyan/Canaan history is in the Bible.

as a Somali I totally agree. It's so annoying when everyone (non-horn Africans) try to explain what we are to us especially when the things they claim ain't true. it's like they forgot the everyone came from east Africa and not the other way round.

Allison N No they aren’t. East Africa is basically known as giving “birth” to the whole world. Most civilization started there. I’m really getting bored and annoyed by these “mixed” B.S. about East Africans. Just because we have features that aren’t deemed “African” doesn’t make us less African than any other country. We are indigenous, and a DNA test that barely has East African samples cannot really tell me where I am from when I can can count all the way back to 20-30 ancestors before me.

NaH I don’t care how you feel about that. I believe East Africans are mixed. Why did you think your comment would change my opinion. Sleep

Allison N looool, “sleep”. What are you, a child? Believe wtf you want. Did I come here to change your opinion, no tf I didn’t. I came here to correct your dumbass. Also, it really shows how insecure you are babes. Are you mad that we have the features we wanted without intermingling with other races? Sad life that Africans have nowadays. Self hate isn’t good. Change your mentality and love yourself for who you are.

Indeed exactly!!!

@@hani114 Yes East Africans are mixed...fact!!

Funny enough I've heard Igbo before! Thank you so much thank you for watching!

Winx Believe yes she does. I'm around plenty of them. However she also looks like S. African and Hausa/Fulani.

Yvonne Mugure Anytime☺️

*"cuz DAYUM you look like a South African woman"*

Ngempela!🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾

No, she looks like a kikuyu woman 👩 from central 🇰🇪,. Just look at her nose, face, hakuna matata

Mahogany Belle yess..I got my update and I’m pissed..drastic changes..I went from 4% Nigerian to 30% Nigerian..What kind of mess is that..high percentage difference

I just updated my updated results right here! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JeE8V7gJx_E.html

TiYah Israel I know, right? Mine changed a lot too so not sure what’s going on. I can understand narrowing it down to target a specific area but when 1 or more ethnicities completely vanish....I don’t get it.

I for sure will post his as well! Oh wow I'm sure that must have been a little surprising to you.

Polishinggold Not really but what do you mean by surprising the African or the European???

Reis Anderson I guess I’m thinking about how surprised I was at my results so I assume everyone was but you may not have been

Reis Anderson I always thought Caribbeans are a lot more mixed than that

@@KiSUkeHaTnCLOGS depends on the island and history

@alex B. There is a writer on the web by the name Emmanuel Kariuki who attempts to explain the migration of the Kikuyu to Kenya. Some of the pictures he has on his site on Hub Page appear to give compelling reasons to believe that the style of Kikuyu clothing originated in Egypt. In addition, if you take time to read through the comments, you may come across some in which there are Kikuyus who, within their clans, appear to be familiar with hieroglyphics normally associated with Egyptians. So it is possible that some Kikuyus have their origins in Egypt. Here are some links to his work on Hub Pages. hubpages.com/@emmanuelkariuki hubpages.com/education/Kikuyu-People-Secrets-of-the-migration-from-Egypt-to-Mount-Kenya hubpages.com/education/Akhenaten-and-the-Kikuyu

@@kenyareads6918 Thanks for sharing this

The current boundaries never existed. Indeed Africa included middle East before the Suez.

Yea there aren't that many of us on RU-vid who posted their results so I'm looking forward to that too!

I wanted to, but I don't know where to start doing it

me too but i think there is a DNA puzzle theyve not found,they have alot of data bank from west africa cos of slavery but they should do more on east we are very different looking people.

I *REALLY* want to do a DNA test but my mum says that I'm 100% Kenyan

Yea you should for sure post a video I would love to watch it. Very well said you just taught me some things!

I Know this weird, and out of topic, But i went to your You tube page, to check if you posted your DNA results and then i found that you liked Ben Shapiro and Prager U videos DOPE !!!!!!

Yes, I've noticed it too. I learned after filming this video about all the migration that happened.

Because the Japanese are descended from a group called the Bamasaaba negroes. They are a native and indeginous among the most indeginous communities in Africa. Are prevalent in the mountainous areas such as Mt elgon in Uganda and Mt Rwenzori in south western uganda the former are now called the bagisu and the latter the bakonzo.

Cheetah 6 but why lie about such .

@Kalu V there are several kikuyu history versions so you're just talking about the one who's convenient for you. The truth is that Kikuyus have several origins as they are mixed. Their principal component is Bantu, the Bantu came from Cameroon/Congo as archeology, linguisy, genetics tells. Their second component is from the cushite who assimilated into the upcoming Bantu society, there you have your relativeness to Ethiopia, Msiri... Their third component is nilotic who also assimilated into the Bantu society and originally came from Suda. Then some pygmy affinities through the Bantu ancestors who mixed a bit with them as they traveled through the Congo forest to East Africa

Lol I'll happily agree to it!

No surprise there. I know someone who visited South Africa just before Nelson Mandela was declared President. The tour guide spoke in the South African language to another person. The Kenyan said that the language was closer to Kikuyu than Kamba, and proved it by paraphrasing what the South African had just said.

@@kenyareads6918 I now wanna know what was said...

I was born and raised in Kenya! I hear I'm from everywhere so I can see Zimbabwean lol

Yeah she looks like a lot of girls I know.....I think it's because of common ancestry.....

charmaine jangano I hear that all the time lol

Lol! The main reason I opened this video was to see this 'Zimbabwean' ancestry test, then boom, she is Kenyan!

I just got the notification so I'll for sure check it out!

isabella gathoni I am kikuyu for sure!

@@YvonneMugure yes your name means that your are bought

isabella gathoni lol I know🙈

@@YvonneMugure With the Precious Blood of Our Saviour, of course!

I completely feel you about being scared. I was a little apprehensive but trust me I'm so glad I did! I'm sure you'll be surprised by your results too. I've learned through this test and the feedback of so many here on RU-vid that our ancestors traveled sooo much so you can honestly be from a lot pf places or just a few!

Then you will have a Ueroasia. Koz Burund and Rwanda many originated from Cushitic lands. And in the cushitics land is nearby Kenya. Then simply u will be an East African with a high percentage that is Kenya, Ethiopia and Somalia, then you will have west asia or south asia koz of a mixture of cushite people, then u gonna have with a Europe staff that is either Itally or any other. Then we gonna conclude u as a Fulani .koz fulan are everywhere. Viva Fulan! And no wonder to find you have a Chinese as we'll and Vietnam koz chinese have been to somalian land, sudan and Ethiopia in the 10th century. And also Kenya especially around the coast. In fact many chinese decendats are found in the lamu coastal. The first African to enter the china land was from Somali land.

Please take it😭😭🙏🏾🙏🏾. I’m doing mine in 3weeks time,my mom is Burundian and my dad is from Cameroon,I’d like to see what my ancestry will reveal

Who said Burundians are ugly

TiYah Israel It may have for sure! I just updated the results yesterday here it is! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JeE8V7gJx_E.html

@@CasualPower9 yes they are

I think its that Bantu percentage its very high as she said

@@Hamorabi1234 I've noticed allot of Kenyans look similar to South africans

@@user-pi3fe2yk1b because they have nilotic and cushite ancestry who share some similar features with the khoisan(forehead,eyes, light skin from the cushite)the people southern Bantu mixed with

@@mikailm6934 nope, Kenyan eastern bantus look like Tanzanian eastern bantus and South Africans. Not entirely but clearly related.

@@kennethkyalo2684 I know, but except their common Bantu heritage, their distinct admixture can still make them look alike

I'm wearing colourpop-Limbo

Alex Thurman About 2 1/2 weeks so not too long!

Cameroon don’t have Bantu language Bantu language is Kiswahili Zulu xhosa vende kirundi kinywarwanda Lingala hehe kikuyu Tswana Sesotho Tsonga swati Shona luganda Shona Ndebele and much more

And Cameroon is not in west Africa is in Central Africa

@@fcafricanunion9915 get your facts straight, Cameroon has many Bantu languages(Bulu, Douala, Sawa, Bamoun..) and the most diverse and divergent ones are found there indicating this place as the homeland. Cameroon is both in West and Central Africa, these are relative terms, Cameroon is literally inbetween Nigeria and Congo

They never intermingled with Kikuyus

@@rosewambui8026 maybe now but that wasn't always the case before the british arrived.

@@12thpls wrong. The middle East comes from the cushites who themselves have this component and assimilated amongst the Bantu

@@mikailm6934 you are the only one who knows your stuff in the comment section. Others are just throwing guesses and fictional theories to make sense of her dna.

@@adowabdi7894 thanks. Direct middle Eastern admixture in Kenya is very minimal, genetic studies on Swahili groups from coastal Kenya show they assimilated more cushite/nilote than arabs, arab ancestry is maybe 5% on average including a minority of outliers(those with more visible "arab" features). If the arab admixture is minimal in the coast, in central or western Kenya it's basically non existent.

Yea I've heard that before so I'll for sure think about it!

Gideon K thanks for your input!

Luando Lloyd Thank you!

You're nice thank you so much!

You didn’t give up and that’s the important part. Thanks!

@@YvonneMugure ha ha tuche'

All eastern bantus have that cushitic mix. Infact taitas are the most mixed, they are hardly bantus.

Maybe, I'm not certain but I'm excited to dive deeper into these results!

Not likely ..... Buut ,It is a little known fact that one of the present-day Gulf states was once a significant empire, the likes of which even the then superpowers, Portugal and Britain, found difficult to confront. The Omani Sultanate was a major maritime force from 17th to 19th centuries, and established its dominance in the Indian Ocean sea routes by defeating the mighty Portuguese navy. Oman’s empire encompassed vast strips of southwest Iran, most of the north-eastern and southern parts of the Arabian peninsula, and much of the Horn of Africa coast, all the way down till northern Mozambique. And nowhere are the remnants of the empire more apparent than in Zanzibar.Ngome Kongwe, Old Fort, Stone Town, Zanzibar

@@alexchad98 we have this Arab/Oman/Portuguese /African mixture in the whole EA coast eg Mombasa. Interesting is she comes from Mt Kenya where they never set foot. Kikuyu tribe

@@alexchad98 that is nonsense. Omani Sultanate did not control the coast of Horn of Africa. It was restricted to Swahili states and Oman.

Where are you from in east Africa eritrea, Ethiopia, Somalia or Djibouti?

Not more PROUD more SURPRISED. I think my enthusiasm can be a little misinterpreted. I was shocked. Imagine you finding out something about yourself you never knew or thought about. I am and have always been proud of being Kenyan that’s what I claimed before and now.

@@YvonneMugure okay I understand

So true, the indegenous east Africans in Kenya had the cushitic blood. They were fully assimilated to extinction. Which is why some Kenyan eastern bantus talk of Egypt, it's the indegenous people who were in Sudan which was colonised by Egypt.

Total BS

@@badroad4610 All the founding haplogroups of Western Asia were haplogroup E1b1 paternally and M and N maternally. All three are oldest, most frequent, and most diverse among living Africans today. That's how you know the genes are African. Furthermore, Africans also have the older branches of other haplogroups claiming non-African such as paternal R1b and share the same age of J1 with Southern Western Asians. So what is foundational Western Asian genetically are just African migrants.

@@kemetnubiakamp just bs E1b1 and J is caucasian race markers not black sub saharan African! Original black haplogroup is A And B ones ! And you mostly find E1b1 and J markers in mixed populations like horn Africa in sub Sahara Africa otherwise it is extremely rare among none mixed populations in sub Sahara Africa while it the main marker among entire north African caucasians and big chunks of west Asian and European caucasian! You better go and check your own A and B markers instead and btw in most populations in sub Sahara Africa who has E1b1 is from father side exclusively for obvious reasons 🤣

@@badroad4610 Who are those imaginary Caucasians? Please explain their history of genocide outside of Africa. They had to have a genocide because nowhere in the Caucasus are E1b1 or J1 at the age or match to Africans. Africans didn't receive their genes from non-Africans. We know this because Africans still this day have the oldest branches of genes claimed to be foreign. There for non-Africans including Caucasians who have genes within these haplogroups must have conducted genocide on all those with older genes outside of Africa because today the parent haplogroups DEYap and the matches of E1b1b are among Africans East and West.

Eerrmm...Swahili is from the coastal Swahili (and I mean the natives) pple who're Bantus with a little of Arabic, Portuguese and Persian.

First time hearing. So Kikuyu is not an actual ethnic group?

@@KalelaChannel whoever said that doesn't know wtf they are talking about.

I think this makes sense...😂

Muntaz Issa That’s for sure a possibility but they try to avoid it by updating the results ever so often so it’s as accurate as possible

Muntaz Issa lol must be a shock bantu kikuyu with dna from north africa and middle east. well dna is become box of padora its singing.

I’m doing great! What do you mean a problem?

Yup. They were a ship of Chinese traders who had come to Mombasa. They became shipwrecked and couldn't go back to China, so they settled at the coast and married the women there. Recently, the Chinese even came back to do DNA tests on the Bantu/Chinese descendants there and a girl even got a scholarship to study in China.

The genes they left didn't impact Kenya as a whole, not even 5% of the Kenyan population

They look cushitic

@@PaddyKish254 surrounding tribes, especially in the coast,giriama talk of a group of nine people,mostly women over 300 years ago,who had escaped from Shungwaya, they asked for a fig tree, incidentally fig tree is known as mkuyu in bantu, this is the origin of name agikuyu, the fig tree is sacred in bantu and gikuyu culture,could this nine be gikuyu and mumbi?

@@fredrickoballa829 According to our folklore that myself herd from my granpa and his before him...your statement is part of it. We do have two types of kyuks though, Pure and mix with two different origins. I saw someone say that kikuyu was a religion shared by an amalgamation of different people of different origins and I do know we have a history of heavy intermarriage with all people of all walks of life. I have lived my life being told I look maasai (whatever that means). For one I am glad each of us is a mixture. Maybe it will one day help us deal with tribalism in Kenya since being educated seems not to work.

@@PaddyKish254 all the neighbours of agikuyu,whom they share words with like akamba,ameru,aembu claim they came via coast from shungwaya,while the coastal tribes call you their cousins,barjuni are mixture of Arab and giriama,they have a story about a group of people who had escaped from shungwaya,and liked to seat under a sacred fig tree,everyone nicknamed mkuyu,and the name stuck,while agikuyu tradition only talks about mumbi and the nine daughters coming from heaven.about the maasai they owned like 3rd of kenya,they did this through intermarriage purko clan is mixture of gikuyu and maasai,mosainek is mixture of maasai and kipsigis,siria clan is maasai and luo, isiraria is maasai and kisii.

@@fredrickoballa829 The Gikuyu did arrive in central province through shungwaya but that was only a stop. Their migration can be traced back through ethiopia (place called kuyu) and further into Egypt. About the mumbi and gikuyu theory of origin it point's to the agikuyu being of two ways, the original ones (karing'a: they worshipped 3 star gods) and the hebrews (kabiru: they had a theory of creation of Gikuyu and mumbi) who came down through Ethiopia to settle around mt kenya and assimilated the tribes living in and around the kenyan highlands. These kabiru kikuyus traditions were eerie similar to traditional Egyptian practices and kind of sealed off mt kenya region from outsiders for centuries if not millennia (why slave trade didn't happen in the mt kenya region and its environs (maasai were also a ferocious people). When white settlers wanted to explore mt kenya (to look for the covenant and scrolls) they were asked to also seek permission from seers in Axum (Ethiopia) since they were also a key part of the religion and mt kenya seers were only keepers of the covenant. Long story short the Europeans screwd africa sideways. 1939 was a sad year in the agikuyu history...the whites put paid to the handover ceremony (ituĩka) and the elders went with centuries/millennia of knowledge and tradition to their graves and those who were apprentices were brainwashed into Christianity. Mugo wa Kibiru was the last great sear of the Kikuyu. All this is available in the kikuyu museum....had to go look for it.
