Anthony Ramos is an American actor and singer. He was part of the original stage production of Hamilton, and its Disney filmed recording. His roles also include the films White Girl, Monsters and Men, Summer Days, Summer Nights; A Star Is Born (2018), Godzilla: King of the Monsters, Trolls World Tour, Honest Thief, In the Heights (2021), The Bad Guys, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, and Dumb Money, and television’s She’s Gotta Have It, In Treatment, and Blindspotting.
He is the son of Mildred Ramos and Mario Martínez. He is of Puerto Rican descent.
A DNA test whose results were displayed on the show Finding Your Roots with Henry Louis Gates, Jr. (2024) stated that Anthony’s genetic ancestry consists of:
*34% Sub-Saharan African
*19% Indigenous
*19% Spain
*14% Portugal
*5% Basque
*4% England & Northwestern Europe
*3% Ireland
*2% Jewish Peoples of Europe
Anthony’s paternal grandfather was Mario Ramón Martínez Cedeño (the son of Eugenio Martínez and Ramona Cedeño Cesareo). Mario was born in Bayamón, Puerto Rico.
Anthony’s paternal grandmother was Ada Irma Otero Rey (the daughter of Herminio Otero Torres and Demetria Rey Reyes). Ada was born in Vega Baja, Puerto Rico. Some of her roots were in the Canary Islands; Anthony’s Canarian ancestors include Guanche Indigenous, some of whom were enslaved by the Spanish, as well as a king of the Indigenous people of the island. Anthony’s great-grandfather Herminio was the son of Juan de Dios Otero Herra and Praxedes Torres Bracero.
Anthony’s maternal grandfather was Rogelio Ramos (the son of Juan Ramos Rivera and Alejandrina Ramos Ronan).
Anthony’s maternal grandmother was named Ana Maria Santana García (the daughter of Francisco Santana).
How does he have “guanche canary islander” ancestry, yet his DNA results don’t show North-African% ??? Which is weird cause most Puerto Ricans, Cubans & even Dominicans do get it in their DNA results.
I’m confused why anyone surprised that it’s missing? Do you realize how far back this is? I’ve got Native American ancestry via my father’s family more recently than Anthony got his Canarian Islander heritage, but didn’t actually inherit the genes from it.
Tag Berber
Isn’t that a stretch?
The DNA results were displayed during the credits, as usual.
Why isn’t Irish and Jewish tagged at the bottom? He is more Jewish and Irish than Elizabeth Warren is indigenous to America?
Why not. Ramos is more Spanish than anything, though. Remind me of Bryant Gumbel that despite being tested 65% European is somehow more African than French lol.
Bryant Gumbel doesn’t look 65 percent European no he looks more African and there are many African Americans that look like Bryant Gumble that’s why
It does not much matter what you think. He got tested 65% European and that’s pretty much evident from his appearence.
No tag Berber because the guanches were a Berber ethnic group. They spoke an amazing language and are genetically very similar to Moroccans, Algerians, and Tunisians.
That is silly. Should we start then to tag any Cuban and Puerto Rican person as “Berber” because a lot of their ancestry is from Canary Islands?
Well it is clear he has genuine proven Guanche ancestry as shown here and I’m sure many canarians do but if they don’t say guanche then don’t add it. Simple as that.
Guanches & Berbers are NOT the same because of HISTORY. Berbers are from the main land while Gaunches are islanders, this difference in location brought forth a different fate for both groups. The so-called Berbers were arabarized by Muslim arabs while the Guanches were hispanizised by Catholic Spaniards. It’s important to note the difference!

He was on Finding Your Roots. He came back as:
34% Sub Saharan African
19% Indigenous
19% Spain
14% Portugal
5% Basque
4% England and Northwestern Europe
3% Ireland
2% Jewish Peoples of Europe
If so, he is more Spanish (combined 45-47% on the DNA test) than SSA and Amerindian.
Barely it’s almost even and he looks even
Do you know what part of the epsidoe they showed it? They typically show it at the end after he gives them a physical copy of their tree, but I don’t recall seeing this (or Tracy Morgan’s) results shown on the screen.
Mixed race people are beautiful.
