Daley Blind seemed unhappy about finding out his North African part just like Mario Götze. Where did this NA part come to NW Europe?

[Etelfrido]

How reliable is it? I've seen people bashing MyHeritage.

[JerryS.]

My heritage is not very good but I used raw data from another company downloaded to my heritage for them to decipher but it gave me 6% North African. Even with Italian ancestry that's extremely high.

[Petalpusher]

My heritage is terrible although possible Blind's African is from small back Dutch colonial ancestry. NA is weird too but my heritage is so bad it could misread some mixed white and black ancestor as that too.

The look on their faces are priceless.

MyHeritage said I was 89% Ethiopian-Jewish & 11% Egyptian. Ended up deleting the results after that.

Ethiopian Jewish is probably no different than regular Ethiopians. Yemenese people get Yemenite Jewish on MyHeritage.

Bleh.

[Gaditanian]

North African Admixtures have around 25% west med populations, so if you have significant west med admixture you will get some score on NA.

Autosomal are not results based in pure populations but in the mixed results of that populations.

Do you think the results are completely unlikely?
