Completely unexpected 23andme results
Alright. So, for my entire 24 years of living, I have always gotten questioned on my heritage. My response was always half white/half black. My mother is full white, and father fully African. I share plenty of physical characteristics with my mother, however, absolutely none with my father. All of my siblings on my dad's side are practically spitting images of him. I am the ONLY sibling out of 5 that does not have the curly African/Afro type hair, it's just a bit wavy. Same goes for my small nose and small lips. Given this information, I have so many questions about my 23andme results and I need a common opinion to help me out. My results show that I am:
58% European
23% East Asian/Native American
18% Subsaharan African
How could my African percentage be so low if my father is extremely dark, as well as grandparents on that side? How would I have a higher Asian percentage than African? Would this mean that my father would be composed of 46% Asian/Native American, and 36% African? If so, there is no way even my grandparents would have such dark skin. I would imagine them to have a pretty high percentage of Asian/Filipino given that my percentage is already so high. The European portion for sure comes from mom's side, I know this because she has 23andme results as well.
Growing up people have ALWAYS thought that I'm Asian, and have a light complexion for being "half black". I also just found out that my mother indeed WAS active with other men when I was conceived. She was a young Mom when she had me. So, given that there is a very high possibility of me not knowing who my real father is, I want to know what you guys think about what my dad/paternal grandparents would physically look like, and if you think there is still a chance that who I thought were my father/grandparents, still are. I've been freaking out and can't stop thinking about the unknown.
