Dawwa and Hyper, hade carabaha baad joogtaan.....these bloody National Geo folks prolly think they're testing Bin laden iyo his oil rich cousins, so they're charging ya'll extra or something . I'm wondering what the shipping for the States, or Canada might be...Maybe skippa could answer that at some point.

You know what I did

$260 / 11 people = $23,64 per person


I let my parents + (some) siblings pay for it

Your parents are a great sport ma is tidhi? If I told my mom I'd do a genetics test, she'd first laugh at me. Then curse me out for asking her to pay for it.

[surrender]

may I ask a question since i have no clue about this DNA crap. what if some other company/organisation get hold of your personal info, and use it for the wrong reasons, then what?

[Hyperactive]

sexy-kitten , i dont have credit card and used my dad's.
he was skiptical and my old man is sheikh but i told him that is for research and related to school project

You have to explain it properly to them if you just say ''I'd do a genetic test'' they wont understand it. I basically explained to them that we can find our true Abtiris with this test and they were all up for it..

One of my siblings laughed at me and said you are just going to be ''a bloody African'', boy was she wrong

--- Cheap shot alert ----


Pretty cool they all Chipped in. Maybe I should get in contact with the "Beesha" folks who bought Somalian Boqors laptop and get in on this too, eh!

mmm, perhaps i should do it too

[sexy-kitten]

Hyper, lol that's probably the only way I would get my parents to pay for it too.

Dawwa, lol if it tells you that you have European/greek in you, do you have anyone in your family(including elders) who can confirm it? In other words, is it ACCURATE? I'm sure if I told her to try it with me, her response would be "Walle waad gaaloowday, ma waxaad rabtaa hadhoo inaad I'm 1/8 Sweedish dadka ugu sheekeyso?"

This is by the way the best genetics company out there:

https://www.23andme.com/

Genographics only shows you your Abtiris and Hoyotiris but 23andme shows your entire genetic make up percentage-wise and if you are a big spender you can also opt for health information about yourself (your risk on some diseases etc)

Might do this one in the near future, but the price is ridiculous: 500$

Sexykitten,

The very fact that women cant lick the swab makes me not even consider it . Eff the mother's side, like hows that even relevant, When I know for a fact that my mom, her mom and grand mother are all from distinctly different places. No, the cool results would be the paternal, since we're a patriarchal society.

Dawwa, did u compare the maternal side to the paternal side? Much difference? What was to be concluded?

It only left me with more question, either Darod was a real person (we will find out soon as some other Darods are doing the test on snet, if they all get J2 it is definitely a Darod marker).

If not, my ancestor probably got attacked by some ancient Greeks/Romans/Phoenicians or are a lost tribe of Israel who visited Punt? Who knows, lol.

[Hyperactive]

dawa man it's hard to prove any thing unless
many people take it.

some how it could be down the line, 2000 years ago, some islan cheated and had a kid and her husband thought was his and took the tribe name.

and also, as you know in arab history we have some poeple we can tofeyliyeen.
long time ago some one may leave his kin and go to other tribes property and make a deal with them and be one of them. his origin forgetten and all.

so this dna can only make prove individuals origin and small families and not as large scale whole tribe or clan identity.

We are all descendants of Adam so shouldn't have the same Y-dna? This test is in line with the Evolution theory
