We took a DNA test to find out our ancestry. Many of us have an idea of where we came from, but we wanted to see how much we really know about our family history. 23andMe's DNA testing kit gives you a detailed breakdown of your DNA makeup, sometimes even detailing the region of each country your family came from. The results were pretty surprising.

    As soon as I saw Leon I said to myself “he has a lot of German in him”.
  • @TheJellymonty
    My mom is South African, my dad is Brazilian, my grandma is Portuguese and my grandad is Egyptian. Definetly would like to know my results.
  • @GameLorePage
    Do most brits not know their history? Everyone is surprised by the Scandinavian dna for some reason...
  • Brazilian here, I took my DNA test with Genera ,the most popular and cheap company for these tests in my country, and the results were pretty interesting: 77% Europe (mostly from Iberian Peninsula), 18% Middle East and North Africa (mostly from Morocco and Tunisia, but also bits from Yemen and the Levant), 3% Amerindian and 2% Subsaharan Africa (Eastern Africa, pointing mostly to Mozambique). It was a very interesting experience and I think it made me a lot more interested in searching for my history.
  • @mhm8922
    Loved Leon’s reactions. He was just so shocked. Can you imagine how many people hate people that they actually share DNA or even genealogy with? Like the expert said, humans are 99.5% identical. So we’re more alike than not. But it’s fun and interesting to see the results of DNA tests.
