I did the ancestry DNA test and it showed I was mostly British, except for 2% Scandinavian and 1% from TOGO. Do you think that’s because we all originated from Africa?
I'm never wholly convinced by modern DNA as telling us much useful about the past, fwiw - cf modern Y DNA studies that claim a deeply implausible 50-100% popn replacement in the 5th/6thC, for example.... :-/
Sorry my friend, can I have that in simple English, some aren’t as clever as you.
Sorry :( I think modern DNA tests need treating with caution. They're difficult to use as reliable personal history and I'm also sceptical of their use as a historical source in general too. Adam Rutherford has written on this e.g. https://www.theguardian.com/science/commentisfree/2015/may/24/business-genetic-ancestry-charlemagne-adam-rutherford … :)
With regard to the Togo result you got, it's certainly interesting but I suspect can't be pushed back that far to the ultimate African origins of humanity -- perhaps something more recent??
Thanks my friend for making it clearer. Yes I agree with you, but it’s interesting. The Togo part I reckon was someone dabbling, I think. Have a good evening.
