[de Burgh II]

It would seem MENA Sephardic Jews are a good proxy as Levant natives. :p

[Peterski]

Khazar ancestry detected: :p


Central Asian:

IA_ScythianPazyryk_Be9 0.50
IA_Kazakhstan_Is2 0.15

Less than 1 percent but still.

Well, I'm 22% Sephardic Jewish according to my FTDNA results, so it makes sense.

[Peterski]

I expected Sephardics to be more European. Around half.

Maybe this sample includes only very "pure" Sephardics.

[Longbowman]

Less than 1 percent but still.

That was my thought too.

Excellent work. Ashkenazis just seem to be slightly more Euro/WHG shifted which backs up what we already thought.

[Longbowman]

Can we stop humouring Rethel's autistic OT? Conversation being DELET as we speak.

[MysteriousWays]

I expected Sephardics to be more European. Around half.

Maybe this sample includes only very "pure" Sephardics.

I think the 30% European is about right for Sephardim. Ashkenazim are more like 45-50%, I believe, on average, but there will be some variation for sure.
