We All Started In Africa

If you are as interested in history as I am, you learn that Africa is the motherland to everybody. In other words, no matter what your skin color is, we all have at least 1% of African ancestry in us. It doesn’t matter who you are or what you believe; you can think you are the most racist person on the planet, but the truth for whoever you think you are is that we are all connected by being a descendant of ancient Africans. I think it would be great if everybody would take a DNA test from 23 And Me or Ancestry.com because at least with 23 And Me, it showed me when and even where my ancestors left Africa and I was absolutely amazed by that. The website showed me that my paternal haplogroup is haplogroup A, I-M235. The first paragraph of my paternal haplogroup reads: “The stories of all of our paternal lines can be traced back over 275,000 years ago to just one man: the common ancestor of haplogroup A. Current evidence suggests he was one of thousands of men who lived in eastern Africa. However, while his male-line descendants passed down their Y chromosomes generation after generation, the lineages from other men died out. Over time, his lineage alone gave rise to all other haplogroups that exist today.” My DNA chart said that I am 0.3% Angolan and Congolese, which I was absolutely thrilled by. So, if you have not done so yet, please get your DNA tested. I really think that it will help calm racism down.
