- We're looking at maternal haplogroups. And we can trace it all back in time to one woman. - This is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen.
- Oh (bleep). I can't believe that we're allowed to be here. - I've never been overseas ever in my life. I didn't realize how integral this part of the world was to all of humanity. - I feel so lucky. This is insane. - So remember that time we all took 23andMe genetic tests? (spitting) - Yeah. - In addition to finding out where our recent ancestors are from, we also found out where our distant ancestors are from. So we all have different haplogroups. And that means that our distant ancestors can be traced back to different regions of the world. But every person living today, including you, can trace their haplogroups back even further to one common haplogroup known as L. The L haplogroup lived in eastern Sub-Saharan Africa over 150,000 years ago. While we don't know exactly where in eastern Sub-Saharan Africa they would have lived, we decided to travel to the region of the world where they would have existed. It's the Ladylike show, and we're traveling to Kenya. - (cheering) - Woo! Y'all, we're going to Kenya! - Yeah! - This is really exciting, because I don't know if you guys know or not, but I've never traveled overseas. So this is absolutely going to be a huge check mark on my bucket list. Getting to know myself more is perfect for this trip, because Africa is most definitely an extension of who I am. And the results that I got back from the 23andMe test were a bit broad. In regards to haplogroups, especially L, and how it relates to all of us, I feel like Kenya's an awesome starting point. - Yeah. - Yes. - The originator of the L haplogroup would have lived in Sub-Saharan Africa. Sub-Saharan Africa is, like, huge. - Expanding. There's, like, multiple countries. There's so many different types of people. There's so many different cultures within that descriptor. So we chose Kenya because we were able to reach out to some scientists at the National Museum of Kenya. - Also just as a general disclaimer, the scientific community uses the term paternal and maternal to delineate who gave birth. We all understand that when we say maternal, not everyone that gives birth identifies as a woman. So just FYI. There's going to be a lot of science on this trip. But we also want to have a little fun. - So we are going to hang out with the girls from the Over 25 channel. They are also a group of creators who are ladies. We're also going to see animals. (elephant trumpet) - Animals! - Oh, yeah. - One, two, three. Kenya! - So we need to wear clothes that are lighter in color. Because mosquitoes love to bite people wearing dark colors. And I hate mosquitoes. - Yep. So these are like, my little going out slacks. - Woo! Cute. - Pale pink with, like, a pale pink little shirt. - (gasp) Cute. I bought one, two, three pairs of linen pants. My pants collection is now up to five pairs. - Wow. - I know. It more than doubled overnight. - He is not playing with these mosquitoes.
