So, I'm about to get tested with 23andMe.
Being adopted, I don't know what ethnicity I am, or what I am medically predisposed to. This will change once I get my results back.

However, to include all of you, I have decided to run a poll guessing what ethnicity I am. To give you some helpful hints, I am 6'3", 230 pounds, Broad-shouldered, light-skinned(not white, tanner than that), I have brown eyes and dark brown/black hair that is curly when long, but straight when short.

Have fun!

EDIT:


EDITx2: I HAVE MY RESULTS! I am of North African descent(Berbers, Somalians, the entirety of North African Natives), and Finnish descent(Lapps, Finns, Sardinians, and Basques).

EDITx3: I am 92% European, 7% Asian, and 1% African

Nope sorry. Without a picture you could be tens and hundreds of differing ethnicities.

OK then, one sec.

[Max White]

I'm guessing native south American!!

At some point far in the past, your ancestors lived in Africa.

I'm guessing the same about you. Also, pic posted. GUESS AWAY!

[Criptfeind]

OK then, one sec.

You don't have to if you are uncomfortable, I was just pointing out that many things from the bone structure of your face to the way your lips curl would go into guessing such a thing. Things that we can not see with words.

Anyway, with that said, I am so horrid at recognizing anything but french looks the best I can go with here is some sorta generic Asian as a base line. Heavily mixed over time.

At least I can say you at least have less then 1/16 french in you.

That is an interesting point. I don't know a lot about human migration patterns while populating earth, but I know we spread out to continents like Australia and America, so we must have migrated before land mass break up, so there wouldn't have been Africa at this point, just a parent continent.

Mexican mother, White father, so thats my guess

White father because if your 6'3" you didn't get that from mexican orgin.

[Deadmeat1471]

Brazil I guessed.

Nope, lower water and crude boats. We have not been around THAT long.

Hmm, looking at that picture, I might have been half right. Somewhere along the tropic of cancer if I had to guess.

Oh wow, we got to America by boats? How much lower would the water have to be? Still, rather impressive on their behalf. The native of Hawaii must have had their work cut out for them!

[inteuniso]

Island hopping and crossing the Bering land bridge. Goes Africa->Asia->Alaska->North/South America

[Euld]

Leaning toward Mexican and Caucasian.

No, America was from Russia. I thought everyone knew of the land bridge? What happened was, during a ice age the water lowered (as it is wont to do during a ice age) and we walked across.

And yeah, the natives of Hawaii must have had some ether really good or really bad luck.
