    Default Where in Africa is the most likely source of Sikeliot's distant African ancestry?

    No matter the amount, these are what different sources say:

    23andme:
    "West African" which includes actual West Africans plus Central, South, and East African Bantus. Neither me nor my mother scores any Central/South African (Pygmy, Khoisan).

    FTDNA:
    "West African" which spans from Senegal down through Central Africa, ending in South Africa. DOES NOT include East African Bantus.

    WeGene:
    Gives my mother a mixture of Mbuti (Congo Pygmy) and South African Bantu, but no Yoruba (West Africa stand in).

    Doug McDonald:
    "The following are possible population sets and their fractions,
    most likely at the top
    Italian= 0.984 Mandenka= 0.016 --> Senegambia
    Italian= 0.984 Yoruba= 0.016 --> Nigeria
    Italian= 0.984 Bantu Ke= 0.016 --> Kenya
    Italian= 0.985 Bantu So= 0.015 --> South Africa
    Italian= 0.976 Ethiopia= 0.024
    Italian= 0.970 Ethiopia= 0.030
    Italian= 0.971 Ethiopia= 0.029
    Italian= 0.981 Maasai= 0.019
    Italian= 0.987 Biaka Py= 0.013 --> Congo Pygmy
    Italian= 0.990 Mbuti Py= 0.010 --> Congo Pygmy


    DNATribes:
    Gives my mother Khoisan from Namibia and South African Bantu, but no West African.

    GPSOrigins:
    Gives both me and my mother Senegambia.

    Are you basing that off my results summary above? Based on what I put above, what do you think?
