Nubia Ancestry Bundle
The questions you were told not to ask — and the names you were never told the meaning of.
Two monographs on the most argued-over measurement in modern science, and a field register of two hundred Black surnames traced to the clans they do — and do not — encode. Every figure sourced. Every caveat printed.
Real Voices
“I looked myself up in 200 Black Surnames expecting a fairy tale. Instead it told me plainly my name was a planter’s — then showed me Cuffee came from Kofi. That honesty is why I trust the rest.”
“The Hidden Truth finally put Army Alpha, the Bell Curve fight and the 1996 APA report in one place. Chapter 13, on individuals versus averages, is the chapter I send to friends.”
“The Hidden Science doesn’t hide the ugly disputes — Lynn versus Wicherts is laid out side by side. The forty-four-country register alone was worth the price of the bundle.”

A question can be made unspeakable without being made untrue.
You have been handed two stories about where you come from and what you are capable of. Both were too small.
One story says the tests are rigged, the gaps are a myth, and anyone who reads the journals is a bigot. The other says the gaps are destiny and a person is a number on a chart. The literature says neither. It has been sitting in military archives, in the NAEP long-term trend, in the SAT, in PISA and in a century of argument — and almost nobody outside the profession has been allowed to read the first sentence of the abstract aloud.
The names are the same. Most Black Americans carry an English, Welsh or Scottish surname taken from a deed or an overseer’s book in 1870. Some carry a name that still encodes an Akan day of birth, an Igbo market-day, a Yoruba crown or a Mandé jamu. Almost no one was told which is which.
Three books. Sources cited in every volume. The disputes shown, not hidden. The overlap — the part everyone forgets — given its own chapter. And a register of two hundred names that refuses to invent an African kingdom for every Williams, and refuses to treat Keita as a curiosity.

About Nubia Ancestry
Nubia Ancestry publishes long-form records on Black history, names and the science that was argued about in lower voices. The rule for every volume is the same: print the published figure, name the source, state the dispute rather than resolve it by decree — and say out loud what a number does not license anyone to do to a person.
These are not books of slogans. They are books of working. Read them, argue with them, and check them against the original papers they cite. That is what they are for.
Questions
Is this real research, or someone’s opinion?
Every mean, date, census share and clan attribution is drawn from published sources — peer-reviewed journals, military and school testing archives, OECD assessments, the U.S. Census surname files and the onomastic literature. Where specialists disagree, the disagreement is printed. Sources are listed at the back of each volume, and the books tell you to check them.
Isn’t a book like this just an excuse for racism?
The opposite. Each monograph opens by stating that a table of group means is not a ranking of persons and licenses no contempt, no exclusion and no programme. Whole chapters are given to overlap and to individuals. The surname register refuses both the story that Black names have no African meaning and the story that every name hides a kingdom.
Your videos are free — why buy the books?
A video gives you a headline. The books give you the apparatus: 420 pages of charts, tables, sources, the forty-four-country register, the two hundred name cards and the objections answered one by one. And they stay on your device when a video is taken down.
Why only $30 for all three?
Because the point is for these records to be read. Each book is $17 on its own; the launch bundle puts all three in your hands for $30 — $21 less than buying them separately.
What format are they, and how do I get them?
Each book is a high-resolution PDF that reads on phone, tablet, laptop or e-reader, and prints cleanly. Checkout is handled by Gumroad; your download link arrives on screen and by email the moment you pay.
Can I buy just one?
Yes. Every book is available on its own for $17 — use the buttons in the selection at the top of the page or under each book above. Most readers take the bundle because two of the books answer each other.
