How can a person prove that all his ancestors were European?

Answer 1

This cannot be proven because it goes back too far

Answer 2

A properly documented family tree is the best evidence. DNA can bring out some surprises that will be hard to explain.

Answer 3

All his ancestors? You do realize that you have ancestors that were from present day Africa right? That is pretty common knowledge. About 70 thousand years ago, some Africans moved out of Africa and hybridized with Neanderthals. Those hybrids went on to replace the Neanderthals and others and occupy most of the rest of the world. Nobody has all European ancestry. Even if you were a Neanderthal, if you went back a few more hundred thousand years, you would have non-European ancestors.

Answer 4

They can't. A DNA test from National Geographic will show when his/her ancestors left Africa. Of course, if you only want to go back 10,000 years, a DNA test could show that all the ancestors were European.

Answer 5

DNA testing is proof

Answer 6

"All"... that's not possible, because it's not true. I think you need to think about what "all" means. Narrow down your generations.

Answer 7

Nobody can.
Even Europeans.

- Paleolithic
Of course, Europeans originated in Africa like everyone on this planet.
And if we go back far enough in time, Europeans are also partly Neanderthal.

- Neolithic
More recently, Europe has been populated by massive migrations from Western Asia (Caucasus), Central Asia (a vast area from India to Iran) and others.

- History times,
Some new intakes from North Africa and Near-East.
And of course, Europeans have steadily traveled (trade, wars, scholars...) and mated everywhere within Europe.

The American romantic vision of Europe, therefore, makes no sense.
"I got my DNA test, and I'm 22 % Irish, 18 % English, 15% German, 12 % French, 6% Spanish, 5 % Jewish..". Even a French or an Irishman is already all of that plus many more!

How can you seriously trust those tests?
And yes you are also probably 5 % Native American (because Native is cool) and 1% Senegalese (just to piss supremacist off in case you're "white")

Answer 8

take a dna test? very doubtful even then someone would be 100% european , its very rare

Answer 9

Probably but why bother? Hitler lost you know.

Answer 10
