PhD candidate La Wanda Knox presents groundbreaking research mapping African American ancestry back to specific ethnic groups and ancient civilizations using genetic science.
Knox reveals how she tracks E1b1a genetic markers to trace ancestral journeys from East Africa and Nile Valley civilizations like Kemet through West Africa to America. Her case studies show how African Americans can connect to specific groups - the Balanta, Akan, and Mbundu peoples - revealing migration stories spanning thousands of years.
What you'll discover:
How to properly read your African DNA results
Scientific connections between African Americans and ancient Nile Valley civilizations
Real case studies mapping ancestral pathways across Africa
Why your genetic markers reveal your family's migration story
Essential viewing for anyone wanting to understand their African heritage through science, not speculation.
