Persona

Expert · Middle-aged · Male · Office with white walls and shelves, shown in a side panel beside illustrated scenes

Niche

Genetic history and ancient DNA documentaries on the origins of peoples

Audience

Viewers curious about their ancestry and the genetic origins of nations and ethnic groups, including diaspora communities (inferred from titles naming peoples and the about text).

  • A middle-aged man with glasses and a light blue collared shirt with a clip microphone, centred in a fixed head-and-shoulders frame in a side panel, beside painterly illustrated scenes. Thumbnails instead show a news-style man and a young woman.
Format

A 21–24 minute documentary on one population's DNA: opening with study numbers, a numbered-points roadmap, then study findings, with a presenter beside illustrated scenes and word captions.

  • About 7 uploads a week: 30 videos from Oct 1 to Oct 30 for a channel that joined in July
  • Named-people topics: the top video (Eritreans) has 119,956 views, the next (Puerto Rican) 67,848
  • Views are uneven: the top 4 of 30 videos have 11,400 to 119,956 views, many others under 1,000
