There are only four genetic "races": Indo-European, African, Native American, and East Asian. Many people have a mixture, to some degree or another. If you are of mostly European ancestry, and had a gggg grandmother that was Native American, you might show up as 5% Native American, and 95% Indo-European. Some people have a few different racial ancestries.

I paid a genetics company to have my genes scientifically tested and it was found that I am 100% Indo-European. This test covers six or so generations back - which involves quite a few ancestors. To get a DNA sample, you scrape the inside of your cheek with a plastic thingy, put it in a container with liquid that they provide, and send it in to be analyzed.

I had a few other DNA tests done, including straight male line, Y-DNA, that traces your paternal DNA back many thousands of years. I also had the mT-DNA test, for the maternal line - and that one went back some 18,000 years ago to the Austria/Nothern Italy area. My earliest straight-line female ancester, though, came to the U.S. from England in the 17th century. Her ancestors probably migrated to the British Isles thousands of years ago.
Breukelen advocaat Reviewed by Breukelen advocaat on . race ... so what if im a cracker!!! i think that people are too fixated on race. i view people only as people, not as mexican, chinese, black, white, salvadorean, whatever. people are people. i think when we classify ourselves as a race, we our only segregating ourselves even more than we already are, and isnt that what everyone is complaining about? we all preach equality so why dont we view each other as equal? i dont find it nescessary to say im white, shes black. like i said we're all people.
