Potentia's MyHeritage DNA

[Potentia]

Well, mine just came back mates! And, as it turns out, I am far more Native than I once thought! Woot Woot!

Far more Native American than my 23andme! I think MyHeritage is actually the correct test.

Bump.

Anyone think that MyHeritage correctly detects Native American DNA?

[alnortedelsur]

Congrats on your results. I am still waiting for mine.

[Kelmendasi]

Since you get 43% Native american I'd say that it does

[Carlito's Way]

so pretty much it aint accurate at all

Are you sure?

I wonder if I actually have more Native American than I previously thought.

yes im sure MyHeritage isnt accurate like 23andMe and AncestryDNA
ive seen results of Mexicans from that DNA company and their Amerindian come out very high when they look more euro than that, i mean they score up to 60% Amerindian
your DNA test just confirms their inaccuracy

Maybe, their Central American reference population includes some Mestizos, so it draws away from my Euro.

Or, it could be that I'm actually 43% Native American.

Central American
The largest population of Central America, spanning from Mexico to Colombia and Venezuela, is of Mestizo descent - a mixture of Spanish, Native American, and African ancestry. Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic, interestingly, have a greater Caucasian population, representing European migration. In contrast, indigenous Central Americans are Mayans, the descendants of the advanced Mayan civilization of pre-Colombian times. Ancient Central American civilizations produced many important innovations, including pyramid construction, complex mathematical and astronomical observations, early forms of medical surgery, accurate calendar systems, and complex agricultural methods. In contemporary society, many people with Central American ethnicity have settled among the nations in South America, reaching as far south as Uruguay and Argentina.



pretty much the Central American has mestizo samples from Mexico all the way to the northern part of Venezuela

Congratz! 1.8% Japanese as well :)

What if K15 is wrong?

I mean, peeps have said that I look more Native than I actually score. Maybe MyHeritage is actually correct.

Doesn't really sound like a good idea to have a Mestizo category IMO lol but the company does seem reputable and professional to me.

[CrazyDaisy]

[Milionki]

k15 it can't be wrong...and your look has nothing to do with your genetic make-up. u may have only 10% native and still visible or 50% but completely hidden
