Nationalism lies, religion lies, narratives lie, tales lie.... DNA does not!!! Careful about hating...you may be hating yourself. There was that story about the KKK guy who discovered he was 14% black!

Mwinder and Impunity should take this test and they may be shocked about their history... their ethnicity! @Alph would be shocked about his ethnicity! he may discover he is related to HarryDre!
We are all survivors... we have been all over the place!!

I would also wish to know how the get this other DNAs to compare with. Like how do they know these countries

Not countries but regions! To start with Mitochondrial DNA tracking helps in drawing your matrilineal parentage. Mitochondrial DNA is a virtually unchanging part or your cell that you get from your mum which mutates every 20000 years and so you can trace back and know where the mothers of your mother of your mother came from. Using this we all know that we all share MtDNA fragments that date back to 150k years ago. That woman virtually all tested human beings on the planet have MtDNA from is nicknamed Our "Mitochondrial Eve". You can also test the paternal side by testing the Y chromosome which is passed down by the father. these two can tell you who your dad's dad was e.t.c. By the way for men... factoring in the mutations and time between mutations on the Y chromosome we can date back all males as having a common father who lived some 100k years ago... nicknamed the Y chromosomal Adam! it's then fair to then say... Adam and Eve existed but not at the same time quot; quot; quot; However, we also have other alleles that can be used to test. Humanity for a large period of time was not interbreeding as fast as we currently do now and so we had alleles that popped up on a map due to mutations and can be extrapolated forward. a good example is the recessive allele that gave some africans ability to withstand malaria and when both parents passed it down to the children you ended up with sickle cell anemia. Or even specific gene responsible for the blue eyed people... or green eyed people. Curly haired people... or a certain allele that gives the twa people (pygmies) resistance to forest parasites and has the side effect of inhibiting growth hormone production.

Factoring in the mutations and comparing that to a word database of genes you can know where people come from.... at least their regions. For example, we know Maasais are not "nilotes" in the broader sense of nilotes like Turkana but rather have some cushitic influence.... the maasai are about 20% Ethi-Somali.

I mean tribes, then neighbours, then families then individuals.

@Masukuma....these Nilotes have always fascinated me, whereas Bantu Languages can be mutually intelligible, the same cannot be said of the Nilotic languages...the languages are as diverse as day and night. An aside,despite being phenotypically similar, a Maasai is genetically closer to an Arab than to a Kikuyu....how did this freak of nature happen

Me too! They are fascinating people. When you travel to South Sudan that is where you will see the stereotypical Nilotes - the dinka, the Nuer, the equitorians e.t.c. There are some people there you would confuse with Luos from shags kabisa!! Personally I believe Maasais and Samburus and all people categorized as the eastern Nilotes are not core 'Nilotes' in the direct sense that the Dinka, Luo or the guys in Northern Uganda are (akina Odoch) are - they were categorized as such but are not. They may have been products of either a different type of people who migrated south through eastern south sudan or were nilotes from the eastern side of Sudan who intermarried (mixed) with the Ethio-Somali group of persons (or somehow both). They thus should be considered more Cushitic than Nilotic since their ancestry is about 21% ethio-somali. The rest is a bit of everyone coz Maasai are actually very very genetically diverse coz of their culture where they married into other groups. so right now they are Kikuyus, Kisiis , Kambas e.t.c. coz genes don't lie.
