GENETICS Free 23andMe kit for american somalis

[TheSayid]

23andMe’s African Genetics Project is offering kits at no cost to people with all four of their grandparents born in the same African country or from the same ethnic or tribal group within one of the following countries — Angola, Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Ethiopia, Gabon, Gambia, Guinea Bissau, Guinea, Ivory coast, Liberia, Republic of Congo, Senegal, Somalia, Sudan and Togo. These countries are a priority for 23andMe because the majority of slaves brought from Africa to the Americas were brought from these African locations.

Wow

I encourage everyone to do this, I got mine for free back in the day too

Which African American told 23andme that their ancestors were Somali?

How do you send your saliva? And to what address?
Where do you sign up?
@Bahal tell us the steps for the new people

Could shed some light on just how diverse the African American gene pool is


But how did Somalia make the cut?

I lowkey think they put those countries in there to make their ultimate goal (being the first genealogy based research firm to do a holistic overview of African genetics) look less selfish.

Because if they can provide quick and easy research databases for medical and historical research projects, they gon be in the green for years to come.

The Somalis who do these tests are usually Arab bootyclappers and want to prove their J1 roots. Of course it's never J1 and they go into depression once they see their result.

I went to try it but they ask consent to use my dna and information for research and they tell you everything will be published worldwide. I stopped.

That's what happened to me sxb.I came out 23% SouthEast Asian when I was expecting Middle Eastern.

Allah knows I almost slit my wrists

Don't wanna show up on sketchy sites

 

[Mohamud]

But make no mistake fam

Your genetic info will only be sold to the highest bidder.

Yeah I figured the whole purpose of them giving free kits. I knew it was too good to be true. But if some are fine with it. Go for it.

Some of us actually have to be brave. We need larger sample sizes to effectively figure out diseases and migration patterns for the rest of the continent and a good chunk of that will ride on the original dispersion site.

Like we need that database at some point but wallahi it ain't gonna be me.

It's mostly shared with people tryna do migration studies, not some shady shit tbh

True but what if they find some skinny bone mutation and I'm the faraax they found it on.

Or they try to explain bidaar and your sample is the one they use
