One of her parents is Bantu because "Southeastern Bantu" is used to identify South Africa, Zimbabwe, Kenya, etc. not Ethiopia, Eritrea or Somalia.
AncestryDNA does not have a category that says "Ethiopia" or "East Africa". That's what I'm trying to get to you lil sis. :plzstop: So when you get your results, being that you have roots in East Africa, SE Bantu will definitely pop up. This does NOT mean you are Bantu.


ack!  wtf man

very interesting. ordering mine tonight

North East Africans are like Latinos, not a real race. They are a mix.

Well in a way they are, because their tea isn't as synthetically made up with slavery and conquistadors and mess. But for the test, they are just a mix.

So I guess they didn't get samples for Ethiopian, Sudan and the other northern regions :uhh: Wtf. This is weird because the SE Bantus didn't even migrate to Ethiopia or Somalia.

Don't think too much about it, just take your SE Bantu amount for those areas. It definitely detects heritage from that area, it popped up for that Somalian.  :dead: She didn't come back with Ghana as her top result. :dead:

Remember, this is just the start, there's always GEDMatch, which breaks it down even more. And it's free of charge. Breathe lil sis.

But that Somali woman has 50% :plzstop: that is a lot for a Somali. So my guess is her dad or mom is either Kenyan or has Kenyan blood.

if the Somalian girl identifies as Somalian, and both her parents do the same I suppose (she didn't say that one of her parents are from another country or are of a different race...not that I can remember), then it makes sense that SE Bantu popped up in such a large amount.  She shouldn't be surprised if she knows how to interpret the results. I don't sense that she was. If anything she was surprised with the West Asia and North African results.

People within the SE Bantu region are admixed with Middle East, North Africa, etc. it's a gumbo of mess. Categories like GHana, Nigeria, etc. didn't return those mixes within the samples. Generally those areas returned mixes from neighboring west african countries.

So that shows you how much of a wild card SE Bantu is. Don't take its label literally.

The same with "Native American". It may say NA, but most of the samples that AncestryDNA and all other DNA companies have are from SOUTH American countries. Which is why I say these tests are most useful in conjunction with traditional genealogical research, if possible.

Hamites are a mixed race. Levantine and Bantu.

I love seeing people get into this.

Makes me feel like I wasn't as nuts as I thought when I was obsessed with it.
