How many african ancestors do you guys have?

Question

please sent me good answers not stupid ones

Answer 1

Not trying to give a stupid answer here, but all of my ancestors originated from Africa before their long stop-overs in Northern Europe.

The trick is to derive documentation. Since many Africans came over in the slave trade, there were documents for them, just as their are papers of indenture for many of my European ancestors.

I go with the anthropologists: we're all from Africa, by one route or another. Fortunately, for many Africans who moved or were removed to the Americas in the past 400 years , there are groups that specialize in this very area of research. As found at http://www.cyndislist.com/ under "Africa" (222 sites and growing.)

Happy hunting!

Answer 2

Genealogy DNA suggests (I haven't said proved) that the human race began in Africa.

Our differences are due to mutations as our ancestors wandered around as nomads.

They use to think the reason different types of people were in different areas was due to natural selection. Now, they feel that some types of people were not able to survive in certain parts of the world and they died out.

Example:  The sun is very rich in Vitamin D.

It has been found that the minimum requirement of Vitamin D for  black African natives are about the maximum a person of Northern European ancestry should have.  

Today it really doesn't make much difference.

There are vitamin supplements.  If you are an African American, you might yourself be taking large amounts of Vitamin D.  If you check with your parents of grandparents, you will probably find they take large amounts of Vitamin D.

There are better protective clothing and housing and we have sun screen for people of lighter pigmentation.

Answer 3

Lots.  It is impossible to know how many; by paper trail I found only a few.  By DNA testing, I have ancestors from about 1/2 of Africa.  By paper trail AND DNA testing, I have ancestors from all over Europe; others from the Middle East and from Native Americans.  By DNA testing, I have ancestors from China, Japan, the Philippines, Viet Nam, Malaysia, Atlantic and Pacific Islands.

Lets face it; no one really knows HOW MANY ANCESTORS they have, or where they were from.
