      English (even royalty - our family was King Edward's *kitten*'s family, my mum even looks a little like Queen Victoria haha), Scottish, Danish, German and maybe Maori.

      ETA: I am a Kiwi (New Zealander) Most of us are a huge mix of cultures.

      I'm from a clade of bipedal apes that live on a planet called "Earth" which orbits a rather insignificant star on the edge of a galaxy called the "Milky Way". I'm of a genus within this clade that's noted for its ability to make and use stone tools and having a larger brain than other apes. My species is the most successful within this genus, and has taken the art of technology and acquiring knowledge to an amazing level, as evidenced by the fact that you're reading this on a computer screen quite possibly thousands of miles away from me. And hey, you never know, you might even be an alien reading this in another galaxy some huge numbers of light years after I wrote it. In which case I'd be just as fascinated by your biological and cultural evolution as I am about my own species'.


      more specifically: pretty much all my ancestry seems to derive from South East England. Or possible Denmark and Germany if you go back far enough. Go back further still and it's mostly from Africa, but with a notable amount coming from a sister species of European ice age hunters whose mahoosive rib cage I seem to have inherited, but even they originate from Africa if you go back far enough, because my entire clade comes from Africa. So it's up to you whether you consider me English or African.




      ETA: tl;dr: I'm a boring SE English non-mutt with a convoluted nerdy answer to compensate for having a really rather boring heritage, i.e all my ancestors seeming to be from the same place. Apart from the neanderthal admixture. That bit's not boring. But they were probably neanderthals that lived in SE England lol
