[QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by beyoku: [qb] *In todays Model* East African HG + North African Neolithic + Central Saharan Neolithic Pastoral + Neolithic West Asia Herder/Farmer = "Ethiopian" These components crystalized 1000's of years ago. Thus TODAY, when a modern Day "Ethiopian" who's grandparents and great grandparents are all from Ethiopia they are simply 100% Ethiopian as 23andMe is only going back a few hundred years. It would be like ME taking a DNA test in 2423 and the results coming up 100% African American. They are not breaking down exactly what "African American entails, in its mosaic of Ancestry just giving your very recent ancestral origins. I have broken this down before in depth earlier. Search. In 2023 yall are wasting yall time arguing against Horn of Africans having admixture from either North Africa and Levant/Arabia. All the models are just that admixture "Models" [/qb][/QUOTE][IMG]https://i.ibb.co/tChL8Mf/Two-vids.jpg[/IMG] In 2017 Elias, an Ethiopian man tests with 23andMe, his haplogroup is J and his mtDNA is R0 His autosomal analysis says 64.4% Sub-Saharan and that breaks down to, East African 63.6% Then in 2019 he takes the test again and it says 100% Sub Saharan 99.7% Ethiopian and Eritrean And in the video he's happy about the update, it says not only is he 100% African he's pretty close to being 100% Ethiopian (and Eritrean) according to the test. In the video he is also happy about being "pure African" People also have national pride. Someone who regards themselves as French and is proud of it, if they do an ancestry test and it says 31% English, 13% Bulgarian, they might find it interesting but not really like it, all of the sudden they feel like they are not as French (or Ethiopian, or whatever)as they thought, might worry somebody might rise an eyebrow on them My question is Are the for-profit testing companies designing their tests to lean toward a less admixed result? A lot of customers would be happier that way, your 90% or 100% what you want to be. The test would not be false but just using with different terminology, a simpler ethnic breakdown compared to a more complicated one > but this could be chosen to satisfy the customer which is not exactly objectivity Like this dude Elias, He has an Ethiopian accent, I didn't look into his background but he was probably born there. Now when he goes out and meets people and if they ask where is he from he can say "I'm 99.7% Ethiopian baby, genetics prove it" And a lot of ES vets would say "see, I told you he's lighter but that is due to African diversity, no back migrations needed" And if there were other darker Ethiopians who ever cast suspicion on him that being lighter he might not be "fully" Ethiopian, he can show the 2019 tests results on his phone, "wrong bro, I'm 99.7% Ethiopian, got the proof right here" I'm not saying his lighter skin is due to admixture, that may or may not be African variation but as per autosomal DNA we can see how categorization methods can produce different percentage results, many thousands of people taking these tests and with a lot of personal expectations to who they are or are not. And with an ever increasing database you can keep buying the tests over the years seeing if the results are different 5 years later. >> But if you like the last one you got, you might not want to [/QB][/QUOTE]
