I uploaded my ancestry kit just says I'm 97.2% European and 2.8% African. I have to pay about 40 bucks to get regions. Worth it or nah?

nahhh i dont think it's worth it dude, I also uploaded it and while the results were awesome they were very different from my 23andme so idk how accurate this might be, spend it better on my AncestryDNA or even in Myheritage.

This is what I got from My Living Dna


Europe
59.9%
Near East
14.3%
Africa
13.8%
Native Americas
12%

Apparently I am hell of a Levant according to this one

Yeah, sounds a bit off. I don't think I'd waste 40 bucks on this one to learn I'm iberian. I just wish I'd get my G25 cords but David guy hasn't responded :(

Exactly and those results seem to line in perfectly with your initial test so I wouldnt think it's worth it, AncestryDNA it's very worth it in my opinion though

The full version is best for people of partial or full British Islander ancestry.

Wow that's a lot of near east lol. They only gave me 6% near east which is pretty consistent with 23andme. But they gave me like 10% German which I know is not right.

If you want to see what regions in peninsula Iberica can give you Living Dna, but I remember have paid about 10 euros for this, not 40.

This is why I said I am Chechen:

Well it's certainly interesting. Would be cool to see my complete ancestry report. Since I got 98% European there and 2% Near Eastern.
