Lol, i also uploaded my 23andMe formatted dna to the website, so far it's taking 35 min or so, so i assume its working xD but yeah. im curious to see how this test picks up on my percentages, like if it estimates my european at 60+% like eurogenes does or 43-53% with more MENA. we'll see i guess haha

ok so first of all, my african has been completely overestimated, almost 2x the percentage so, but it could be that my Arabian/North african has been sucked into the african component since the "Africa" catagory also includes the whole north of africa, aka the Maghreb and Egypt. i only scored 2.23% for asia (arabia) so thats weird.

However these are my percentages if i rationalize the results:

54.14% European

21.00% West African

20.72% MENA (the 3.74% east asian is belonging to my arab as i have 0% east asian ancestry, and my Amerindian is 2-5% so its accurate that way)

4.14% Amerindian (more southern than northern)

^ however i find the results pretty interesting on how they gave it to me, 35% african is veryy high xD

Need to pay because I used my credits for DNA Tourism, didnt got any results out and now I need to pay if I want the Ancestry Results too.

My one is really different from all the other reports

South Europe 24.28
West Europe 23.94
East Europe 16.04
North EUR 15.48
Asia 12.74
Africa 1.51
South America 1.22
East Asia 1
North America 0.65

Any explanation?

lol, its funny how you score way higher asian than i do, instead for mine all my "Arab" ancestry got sucked into my african component. I am only 21% west african. and 4-5% north african or so from what i know and i scored 36% African instead of my casual 25%. and 2.23% Asia or something which is weird since i am roughly a quarter Arab.

i dont think it is either, i think it needs better population references and perhaps more specific regions. As most of my arabian has been plain sucked into my African component, my african is nowhere near 36% lol

I have no Jewish ancestry in any of my ftdna reports and all the others. It might be some Tatar element I don't know about. Will find out some day.

So you can do a test for free if you sign up and send them the DNA?

[Taiguaitiaoghyrmmumin]

Looks like a very basic report. Looks pointless

lol wow. Well then again we dont know, its for certain that "something" got sucked into my African component for sure. That is not included in my Amerindian, or European ancestry so i am 100% convinced its my Arab side. It could either be Berber aswell or just Arab sucked into my African component.

I cluster closest to Maghrebi's as shown by Doug McDonald's dna reading, also by Mephisto from Anthrogenica. However Doug also said that the "Mideast" on my chromosomes could be north african or east african. however i am pretty much convinced it is arab, all calculators that are good for my ethnicity say so. And lowest oracle was for "Yemen" on Gedrosia K3 test, with a oracle distance of @6.97 or so, very low for me atleast.

I guess we'll see once my ancestryDNA gets updated xd

It’s just a bad calculator. No need to search for reasons.

lol no, i already admitted its a bad calculator. im just trying to rationalize my results XD but whatever. only thing that i care about now is ancestry dna's new update and when the fucc they will be handing it out to my account. i bought their damn test last year in August while i was on Aruba so i think i deserve that damn update xd

16k reference pops seems good to me.

Interesting calculator. Is it accurate?In my case it picks up ethnities that gedmatch wouldn't even consider. I am more asian than many others with known asian background. Understood that the method they are using are somewhat different from other commercial ethnicity breakdowns. Will have too dig a little deeply to find out why.

My all ancestors were living in balkans, more than 250-300 years. Both MyHeritage and FTDNA showed me 35-40% asia minor, it was not accurate. But this one seems accurate, just showed 1% asia minor. But i couldn't understand why i have 22 west europe and 14 north europe.

lol, this test isnt accurate for distinguishing european populations xD infact it isnt accurate in general i think, but it divided my non-european and european percentages quite well i think. only a bit more arabian would be more accurate, they probably thought it was north african and threw it in with my african component xD cuz as far as i know i am only 21% yoruban/nigerian.

as far as i am concerned my 4% east asian is also part of my arab ancestry, i have no known east asian ancestry nor did i ever score that much of it on gedmatch or other testing companies XD


and also, i probably dont have any south european ancestry at all, so that's very weird why i score more of it than west european or north european, it's probably mostly berber and part northwestern european, i am half northwestern european anyway XD would make more sense

^ lol jup, mygenomebox makes no sense.

i dont see how i could score only "2.23% asia" regarding the fact that i am 23%> mena XDDD


also how does a indian score amerindian, and 6% african??? idk atleast

yeah true. not just that but i like how groups from kazaks to australian aborigines are in one Asia category.

[Congolese Rice]

Jup, they aren't the same. Thats what makes this test so inaccurate.


no wonder they give me 35% african, cuz they consider maghrebi's to be "african" aswell while there is a clear genetic divide. maghrebi's are mediterranean or med + orientalid mix, like some berbers, libyids are orientalid, and etc etc. this test isnt very good.

their Ancestry Tree App gives around the same result with dodecad calculators of Gedmatch
