with experiements how can i know if i am part african without expesive DNA test? chatting on aim can help..?

Answer 1

Your question doesn't really make sense.

If you are "African-American" in the common sense of the word, you almost certainly are of african ancestry, along with european and native american. Genealogy can trace your history in this country, however you are very unlikely to discover your exact African origins without DNA testing - although historically, slaves brought to the U.S.A were primarily from West Africa or what-is-now Angola, so you likely would have origins in these vague regions (there are, of course, hundreds of ethnic groups in these regions, so this doesn't really tell you much).

If you are 'white' in the common sense, you may still have african ancestry - because of the intense racism of America, many light-skinned blacks 'passed' as white.

Lastly, if you are 'Hispanic', you are also likely to be part-african, as many slaves were brought to the Spanish new world colonies and intermarried with the european and native populations. The amount of this varies by country, but some modern testing has shown that it is more common than originally thought even in 'white' countries like Argentina (I don't have cites for these studies off the top of my head, but you should be able to track them back fairly easily).

In short, you can use regular genealogy to track your family in the U.S. and historically-known patterns to hypothesize an origin, but there is no definite way to identify a speicifc ethnic group w/o DNA testing (like Oprah's Kpele) or luck/oral history (such as Alex Haley's Roots - not, albeit, without controversy).

As another answer did point out, however, we are ALL african, originally, at least, since homo sapien sapien originates in East Africa.

Lastly, to echo someone else again, 'chatting on aim' wouldn't help anything. If you want to know, do research, don't waste time chatting.

Answer 2

GAGGGHHH.
You don't need dna testing to research your ancestry. People have been doing research for years, even without the internet or email. And I don't have a clue why chatting might change that, sorry.
Basic genealogy identifies your ancestors. You may be elsewhere than in the US, but assuming you are, and track back to census records, they indicate ethnic/ race. There are more recent census records out there, but the LDS web site has the entire 1880 census searchable for free, online. My reason for suggesting the 1880, is that it is the closest (online) one to the 1860's, when there still was slavery. Based on your question.. if your ancestry in later years is in question, it is possible that appearance wise, the person would give caucasian as an answer, and not be challenged. Nothing judgemental meant here at all, just zero in on the most likely records, for your needs.
Yes, dna testing can verify racial categories. But it is not necessary at all.

Answer 3

what do you mean experiments. Do you not know who your parents are? What do you look like? DNA testing is really the only way but you would need someone from your family to verify.

Answer 4

We are all descendants of Africans. No DNA testing required.
