If it did it to you, can you show me the result? I am curious how it turned out.

Yes, also false north african too.

As far as I know, African admixture among Southern Europeans is more than 0.5 percent. Can it be related to that?

I'm wondering what type of African you will end up scoring on the upcoming 23andme update :)

The update already happened did it not? My grandmother ended up with Senegambian/Guinean, and South Eastern African.

I uploaded two different kits into MyHeritage. I didn't get any Nigerian or African. Somewhat, I got Central American (1.1%) for 23andMe's rawdata lol.

It gives me only 23.8% African, and 18.5% nigerian. Im more Ghanaian than Nigerian in general.


Strangely enough it also gives me 2.4% Ashkenazi, and 6.1% middle eastern. Bad results imo, i have no arab ancestry. Maybe its my berber?

Some test takers get no Nigerian. Look at these Ukrainians:

The girl:
50.1% Eastern European, 49.9% Baltic

The guy:
94.7% Eastern European, 4% Baltic, 1.3% Finnish

No, actually MyHeritage is very accurate with NA admixture, they have noise bullshit with nigerian and finnish dna tho.
