  1. What people tend to forget or don't realize is the Wars in the European Eurasian Continent as People (Human Beings were mixing all over the place and this is way before the North American Slave Trade. Things in history have to be put in order based on its timeline of occurrence. There is Nothing New Under The SUN. Mankind is an idiot (Because they convoluted things in History to fit their Stupid Idiotic Foolishness filled with deceitfulness and Hatred to Garner GREED FOR WEALTH and don't even know or realize that they missed out on a lot) and especially the White Anglo-Saxon Caucasians of European Eurasian Ancestry and its Continent.

  2. Not a fan of HLG in his “We All from Africa “ bullshit I knew my Roots from my Great Grandmother who told me at 5 years old She and Her Father are Cherokee Indigenous People. Now he’s doing so called YT folk are also so called “Black Folks” descendants of the Enslaved??? 😂😂😂 It’s been determined that DNA testing is not an exact science can only go back to 2 or 3 generations.

  3. I thought it would be interesting to see a movie about a Black family that when planning a family reunion, discovers that they are the only living descendants of some big revered confederate family. All the white descendants have died off. and Mr. Gates, I love your show!

  4. Dr. Gates. My name is Simon Emidy, a white male, 59 years old. My 5th great grandfather Is Joseph Antonio Emidy an African native of Guinea, and was only known by his tribal name Emede or Emedee. A misspelling later, changed it to Emidy. He was captured and enslaved at the age 12. I’ll stop here. if you want a very interesting story, please look him up, it’s a bit of a read, but, well worth it and I think you would appreciate our family history. I’m going to Truro England and Falmouth England to visit his grave sight and statue here in a week or so. I’m not famous like the people you interview, but I’m proud to be a descendant of this GREAT AND FAMOUS man.

  5. DNA test do not establish Native roots…. DNA test actual state that. You can only be connected by documentation, being received by a tribe or Dalls Rolls which are super inaccurate. Dark skinned “Natives” were washed out

  6. What he doesn’t realize is that we all come from Adam and Eve. Which shows we are one race, the human race. Scientists have studied the human genome and revealed that there is only One race. You should check out Answers in Genesis.😅😅😅

  7. Great show, thank you, it has truly touched any who watch the show. We are in the melting pot of the world, of course we all have surprises in our families. My ex is blond/blue eyed, and when our children did DNA, they found sub-Saharan connections, but not from me. You would not guess looking at them.

  8. And not a single one of those white guests was upset that they had black ancestry, but most of the black guests were upset that they had white ancestry…

    🤔

  9. The only question I have is….who cares? Seriously, as a country we are doing everything we can to separate each other as it is.
    I could care less where/how I came to be. I know I’m created by God for His pleasure and that is all that matters.
    We need to get over ourselves and return to treating “everyone” with dignity and respect. You go back far enough, we’re all related!
