Black Genealogy: DNA Testing and Where Am I from?

Sunday 3 October 2021

An insightful Black Genealogy masterclass exploring DNA testing determining your African roots.

 

DNA testing is estimated to be a £7.7bn industry. 12 million people from all over the world have taken a home DNA-test. We hope DNA tests can tell us where we are from.

But does anyone stop to ask

  • are 23andMe and AncestryDNA actually testing your ancestry?
  • how much information is passed down through a person’s DNA?
  • is the industry really just telling us what they think we want to hear?

Paul Crooks discusses

  • his research into his own African Caribbean ancestry and what it reveals about the origins of African Caribbean and African American people.
  • the extent DNA testing helps in determine roots/race/ethnicity
