0. Khoisan (0.91)
The Khoisan represent the indigenous peoples of Southern Africa combining the Khoekhoen and the San peoples who are believed to have populated the region before the Bantu expansion about 1500-2000 years ago. The language is full of click consonants and split into three separate and unrelated language families. The San are thought to be the foragers in the Kalahari Desert and regions of Botswana, Namibia, Angola, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Lesotho and South Africa. The Khoekhoe peoples may represent late Stone Age arrivals to Southern Africa, possibly displaced by the arrival of the Bantu. Interestingly the linguistic influence of the Khoisan seems to have influenced the Xhosa and Zulu languages which adopted click consonants. The original ancestors of the Khoisan are thought to have expanded to Southern Africa as early as 260,000 years ago.

J - Medieval Coastal Kenya Mtwapa (I23660)
Archaeological Identifier: I23660In the embrace of the Kenyan coastal landscape, near the once-thriving trade center of Mtwapa, a skeletal sentinel of the past narrates silent tales of a multicultural confluence. Unearthed in a place where the Indian Ocean kissed the Swahili coast, the remains of a man who lived around the 1600s offer a living history of a time fraught with exchange both material and cultural.
Dressed in the earth of ages, this medieval man was part of a world where African hinterlands whispered to distant lands across the seas, their conversations echoing through trade in ivory, gold, and perhaps even in the silent camaraderie of shared faiths. His very bones tell a story of genetic heritage, with his Y-DNA belonging to haplogroup J, pointing to paternal lineages that trace back to the Near East, and his mtDNA rooting him in the African soil with lineage L3d1a.

In the shadow of the Catoctin Mountains of Maryland, at the site of a historic iron-working furnace active in the antebellum period, a poignant discovery was made: the remains of an individual whose life tells a story far beyond the mere bones excavated from the earth. This was a man whose genetic code bore testament to a transatlantic journey of his ancestorsa story of forced displacement and resilience, encapsulated within the DNA markers of haplogroups E1b1a1 and L2c; his lineage rooted in Sub-Saharan Africa.
This man, who lived and toiled in the early 19th century, provides a tangible connection to the complex history of slavery in the United States, particularly in relation to the iron industry of the time. The iron furnace where he labored was part of an industrial enterprise that thrived on the exploitation of enslaved individuals. It's a grim reminder that the engines of American economic growth during this era were often fueled by the un-remunerated labor of those who lived and died in bondage.
Catoctin Furnace is an industrial site that functioned from 1776–1903 and was operated at least partially by an enslaved workforce until about 1850, when it shifted to paid European laborers. A cemetery including 35 graves from which the remains of 32 individuals identified with African ancestry were excavated in 1979-1980 during construction of a highway that impacted the site. Since then, the human remains have been under the stewardship of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History (NMNH). The goal of this report is to document the successful generation of ancient DNA from 27 individuals from the cemetery. The analysis of the Catoctin individuals is part of a long-term study dedicated to restoring knowledge of the identity, origins, and legacy of the enslaved and free African Americans who labored and were buried at Catoctin Furnace1.

E1b1b1a1a1 - Kenya Kokurmatakore PIA (I8904)
Archaeological Identifier: I8904
In the cradle of humanity, East Africa, the remains of an ancient individual who died around 600 AD shed light on the rich tapestry of human history. This man, who lived at a time when empires rose and fell, was part of a thriving community in what is now modern Kenya. His genetic heritage, revealed through the Y-DNA haplogroup E1b1b1a1a1, indicates a lineage common in Eastern Africa, which traces back thousands of years to the early migrations and interactions of human populations across the continent.
Meanwhile, the maternal lineage, identified through the mDNA haplogroup L3a2a, speaks of a genetic story tied to the maternal ancestors of all non-Africans that left the continent approximately 60,00070,000 years ago. Remarkably, this man's direct maternal ancestors remained in Africa, painting a picture of unbroken heritage persisting through millennia.
The archaeological site in Kenya where this man was found has revealed artifacts that provide context to his existence. Among the earthen treasures are beads made of ostrich eggshells, iron tools, and pottery shards. These items suggest a community engaged in a range of domestic, artistic, and technological endeavors, reflecting a sophisticated society benefiting from the exchange of goods, ideas, and culture.

If the House of Howard stems from Kenyan & Makurian, Haplogroups E1b and L3, which is clearly a black Eve gene..looking at the related similar samples mentioned above; Please explain how the House of Howard and Stuart keep being portraid in a whitened skin color. In Contemporary literature we read all about their complexions and swarthy skin colour. If the DNA tells you something then why make it into something else? Well I do know why.
This shawl, given to me as a rag by my elder sister, a shawl that was handed down to her, or made for her by her then mother in law. What always seemed to make curious my attention; the label stitched into the shawl. After uncovering all this DNA data. The shawl somehow did seem to end up in the right hands. Tho I do not think any of us then would have known how heavy this shawl would represent my burden into telling the world the truth. Not based on myth but sometimes a little magic popped up in the form of this item:
"Black Wool"
It reads: Hand gebreid door H.W. Vink-Stuart..

Origin of the Achaemenid dynasty
Family tree of the Achaemenid rulers.
The Persian nation contains a number of tribes as listed here. .. : the Pasargadae, Maraphii, and Maspii, upon which all the other tribes are dependent. Of these, the Pasargadae are the most distinguished; they contain the clan of the Achaemenids from which spring the Perseid kings. Other tribes are the Panthialaei, Derusiaei, Germanii, all of which are attached to the soil, the remainder—the Dai, Mardi, Dropici, Sagarti, being nomadic.
— Herodotus, Histories 1.101 & 125
The Achaemenid Empire was created by nomadic Persians. The Persians were Iranian people who arrived in what is today Iran c. 1000 BC and settled a region including north-western Iran, the Zagros Mountains and Persis alongside the native Elamites. The Persians were originally nomadic pastoralists in the western Iranian Plateau. The Achaemenid Empire may not have been the first Iranian empire, as the Medes, another group of Iranian people, possibly established a short-lived empire when they played a major role in overthrowing the Assyrians.

..She Is now fat and in years, but she has the remains of a fine person ; she has great gravity and composure in her fa mixed with softness, and an uncommon vivacity in her eyes, as if she would read the hearts of those that approach her*"*
** The Czarina Anne is a very large made woman, bat well shaped for her size, and easy and graceful in her person. She has a brown complexion, black hair, and dark blue eyes ; she has an awfulness in her countenance that strikes you at first sight, but when she speaks, she has a smile about her mouth that is inexpressibly sweet. She talks a good deal to everybody, and thus such an affability in her address that you seem talking to an equal, and yet she does not, for one moment, drop the dignity of a sovereign* She seems to have great humanity, and is, I think, what: one would call a fine agreeable woman, were she a private person. She has adopted the daughter of her sister, the duchess of Mecklenburgh. The child, the princess Anne, is not very handsome* and has such natural bashfulness that no judgment can be formed what she will be. The princess Elizabeth, who is, you know, a daughter of Peter the First, is very handsome* She is very fair, with light brown hair, large sprightly blue eyes, fine teeth, and a pretty mouth. She is inclined to be fat, but is very gentle, and dances better than anyone I ever saw. She speaks German, French, and Italian ; is extremely gay, and talks to everybody i» a very proper manner in the circle, but hates the ceremony of a court- Count Biron and his lady are the greatest favorites of her Majesty, so much so, that they are considered as if the power was lodged in them.
