13166641, one of the black owned companies said they destroy the sample Posted by Riot, Mon Jun-19-17 10:26 AM
either africandna or african ancestry had it on the website, even before this latest reveal that ancestry "retains all rights" and 23andme was selling to 3rd parties
the other thing is the black companies are matching to tribes, not countries
some pros and cons to each i guess. but the country match is to a place that didnt even exist 100 hundred years ago, much less during middle passage
so being "40% nigerian" when nigeria has dozens of tribes and the tribes crossed current national borders is kinda like if your match was 40% american. beyond the surface its not saying a whole lot
but blk ppl collectively know like 5% of our background so they making money selling us another 6%
a friend, not sure what company he used but his report just said '85% subsaharan'. lol wtf
also some ppl get into finding their haplogroup and researching that, etc
i wanna do it but i dont wanna do it. or send samples to all the companies and see what they say when results dont match
