But otherwise well done in bring DNA testing to the forefront. This would seem to bear out some salient points from Dr. Cheikh Anta Diop’s “ African Origins of Civilization “ bottom line is their centuries old white phenotypical Egyptian paradox crumbles under careful scrutiny given scientific (DNA analysis), physical (paintings, sculptures, hieroglyphs and their own historical firsthand evidence from their ancient scholars, e.g. Herodotus and Diodorus Siculus who described them as BLACK with FRIZZY hair and they went further to describe the origins of the egyptian people as originating in the upper reaches of the nile valley.
Lately, it seems some Afrikans born in Amerika have their dna analyzed and in some cases for purposes of naturalization to a west Afrikan national that offers dual citizenship.
And lastly I want to pay homage to the late Jim Brown who was known as a warrior for our people in real life and on the athletic field. Many know him for his prowess during his professional football career but few know that while growing up in upstate NY he excelled at lacrosse and is quoted as having said “I’d rather play lacrosse six days a week and football on the seventh”
So there you have it, my comment on that guys great DNA results ( wish him luck with claiming heirship) - my curiosity about such commercial tests and exactly what they are determining, as well as a tribute to a life well lived from a towering figure (literally) on the Afrikan Amerikan community .
Of course we can all be related, in fact all living people share exactly the same set of ancestors before the identical ancestors point, all the way to the very first single-celled organism. However, people will vary widely in how much ancestry and genes they inherit from each ancestor, which will cause them to have very different genotypes and phenotypes. Now for some political reasons Kris will naturally deny all these stuff mentioned above. LOL
