Myanthropologies' MyHeritage results

Have you seen his mom? She doesn't look Afgani at all but Ukrainian or sometheing.

No way an average Afgan would score more than 1-2% Northern European.

But look at my gedmatch stuff, I am closest to Afghan Pashtuns and Pamiri Tajiks.

I scored Swedish in ancestry too. Some people told me it is normal, others not because they think that yamnaya ancestry should be hidden under my South-Central Asian ancestry. I think it is normal.

It is not directly Yamnaya, but rather Sintashta and Andronovo.

Compare those GEDmatch results (I posted kit numbers above).

Sintashta often get "Swedish" etc. in Single Population Sharing.

They usually score East European / Slavic, but MyHeritage interpreted it as Scandinavian. These admixtures are quite easy to confuse because they are not very different. For example ancient RISE98 (Bronze Age Scandinavian) gets 1/2 North Slavic in DNA Land. The other 1/2 is North-West Euro:

Indeed. Pashtuns have a lot of Steppe ancestry, which is like Eastern/Northern European:

You are directly descended from early Indo-iranian tribes. Original proto-west iranics probably would've scored less NE, more west asian, and more south asian.

Anthropologies is an American mutt. Half of his family members look Slavic or half Slavic. It is not normal for an Afgani to score 17% Swedish. That this 17% Northern European is "ancient stuff" is just bs.

Maybe you have some extra ancestry from Iron Age Western Steppe?:

I descend from a woman named Judy.

There is some of you in me

Anthropologies is an American mutt.

No, his results in Eurogenes K36 look like 100% typical Pashtun results.

He even gets slightly more of "South Asian" than an average Pashtun.

Half of his family members look Slavic or half Slavic.

This ancient woman from the Tarim Basin in China "looks Slavic" as well:

Pashtuns and Slavs have ancient connections. We both share some ancestry.
