That shyt is a scam and not accurate but congratulations.
i don't think it's a scam but you're mostly correct about the accuracy. If triplets took a DNA test their result would come back slight different from each other even though they have the same ancestry. But the science isn't exact so their is margins of error, taking muliple tests from different data bases and analyzing them technically would give you the most accurate view of what you really are.

That said, it's not going to give you some wildly inaccurate results either. A black person isn't going to come back with something that says they are 100% Scottish or something like that. You will get a relatively accurate assessment, especially compared to the common family word of mouth, (my grandma said we were part Cherokee) type stuff.

Also :mjlol: i just noticed your screen-name as i was typing this and my immature ass starting laughing. dapped

The biggest thing is who they are sampling. The results are based on colonial countries which in their on right have tons of different tribes and ethnic groups. People should use this more so as a point of reference that their ancestor was more than likely someone who lived amognst or near the people who were tested.

I'm scared to do this cause I know that Cac DNA gonna be high:mjcry:
I was scared too breh but once I saw that Ghana and Ivory Coast dominance I damn near shed a tear as a member of the diaspora :mjcry:

Top 5 :whew:

28% Ivory Coast/Ghana
18% Nigeria
14% Cameroon/Congo
10% mali
8% southeast African Bantu

Now I gotta do the African ancestry test later to see what’s really good

Nothing is 100 percent accurate but I never told these folks that I'm Jamaican or from the carribean and they pinpointed that :ehh:

More curious in my gedmatch stuff

What do you recommend ?

I mean Africa is too diverse to find a soecific answer via testing. Im not saying these tests dont serve a purpose Im saying use it as a reference more so than saying your ancetors are from everywhere you see in your result. I say this because those countries are white creations. For Mande people we will show up as having Malian and Ivory Coast/Ghana results but they are talking about the same people who lived in those places, does that make sense?
