If you don't know, GEDmatch calculators' Oracle results are something like this:

I basically shows a person's DNA results' proximity to the DNA of some ethnic groups. My question is, how do they determine the ethnic groups' DNA results?
If there are volunteers, the volunteers might easily lie about their real ethnicity and distort the database. Or, they might not have any volunteers from some ethnic groups and the database of those ethnic groups could not be represented in the Oracle.
So, how do they avert these two possible undesired situations?
