these companies aren't helpful at all and don't give us an average to compare to, I can imagine an normal person to be confused with their results, unless they ask questions on anthroforums
the worst thing 23andme did was remove the 'countries of ancestry' feature which was based on something meaningful (ibd sharing)

20% North African? Is that common for Sicilians on MyHeritage?

Who knows what they consider North African. Is it the common west med shared between Sicilians and berbers combined with near eastern or something else.

That's what I figured too, but I was wondering if this guy got higher than usual.

I doubt that..something’s fishy here for sure.

I think the algorithms get confused as the Berber is essentially “West Mediterranean” mixed with the East Mediterranean that both Sicilians and North African scores. The high Greek maybe what the algorithms is referring to East Med and Caucasian score.

Either way I don’t think their algorithm is good at all
