MyHeritage Update Confirmed late June 2024

[JerryS.]

Good I wonder if they can clear this up? 🤣

MyHeritage's CEO confirmed the Ethnicity Estimate Update for late June 2024, according to him, I'll jump from 42 to 80 Ethnicities and is going to subdivide European Ethnicities more finely than any other company, apparently (ex: Instead of Scandinavian we'll get Norwegian, Swedish and Danish).
What do you think about this?

Going by all my matches, there's tons of Scandinavians on MyHeritage. Have 327 Norwegians for example. They have plenty to play with and could have been done ages ago. But Ethnicity Estimate can be messy and all over the place for some, so i feel like it should be a tidier estimate mainly.

My closest match on Myh is some lady from Iceland (3-4% if I remember correctly). Its fucking BS.

That's true, but LDNA isnt bad as to that as well indeed.

I get 23.9% false British Isles at LDNA and correctly 0% at 23andMe.

Thank god finally a update

It will provide even more bs as MyH is not more competent than other companies in distinguishing ancestries correctly but rather pretty much the contrary. The deception of clueless customers will increase.

MyH should first try to improve the assignment of their current components. But they know that they cannot.

Well, I'd be happy if they divided them roughly at least after many years. This finely thing isn't going to work anyway, I think.

I get 23.9% false British Isles at LDNA and correctly 0% at 23andMe.

LDNA gives me only 5,9% Great Britain & Ireland now after around 90% in the beginning, plus 2% Italy and correct 92,1% NW Europe, and
23andMe 1,5% British & Irish and 21,6% Scandinavia (in the result shown by default) - rest French & German and Broadly NW Europe.
So LDNA is even better...

I really dont understand why you might have more GB than I. Because its an upload maybe?

[Mortimer]

Looking forward

Maybe.

But it would be odd for LDNA to tell the world a bad performance that way. I even get various subdivisions of England which to me underlines the "pseudo" character of LDNA. The wilful borders of the regions contribute to that pseudo thing.
