Do these DNA Tribe results seem weird for a half West Euro half Jewish?

Also most of my Jewish family and West Euro family has been classified as Atlantid if that helps.

the high Egyptian and North African component, for European standards, signifies that you might have some Sephardi ancestry.

But what is weird to me is how high the Iberian is. Might it be a combination of British and Med type genes? I know that Jews and southern Italians cluster similarly, and an Iberian is roughly genetically halfway between them and Brits.

So maybe it's just a glitch in the system that treats your ancestry as a composite and not as its individual parts.

That would definitely make a lot more sense because I am obviously not Spanish and it seems my results look more typical for a full Spaniard or North Italian.

Your East Med and British ancestry probably combined to something halfway between the two -- the Iberian.

The Egyptian and North African components still come through, since they are neither present in such high amount in the Iberian ancestry that program seems to think you have.. and the NW Euro and Baltic components come from the British part of your ancestry and possibly SOME of the Baltic as the result of Eastern European converts to Judaism that might be in your family.

To put it simply, Dna Tribes is pure shit.

I completely agree with you man.

[Sikeliot]

I wonder what it'd give me if I took it. Baltic-Urals would be close to 25% and the rest would be some combination of Iberian and East Med.

What countries are your western euro ancestry from?

Germany, France, and Britain.

[Anglojew]

Germany, France, and Britain.

Maybe it's Celtic ancestry?

No they don't. Unless you consider Sicilians as the only South Italians.

Calabrese do too.

Ok pretend I said "far southern Italians" then.

As has been said already, DNA tribes sucks. Its only good in the most generalized terms. For really good admixture analysis and modal population similarities, submit your results to Doug McDonald if you haven't already. His BGA is probably the best IMO.

That "North African" looks like some kind of west med-berber admix because Sardinians have it more than Sicilians.

It probably is. Sardinians seem to have some affinities to North Africa as it is.. likely representative of a very old Mediterranean type that also has left a genetic legacy in North Africa and in Iberia.

Yes. Egyptian is proly South West Asian. I just don't understand why this half jew have 0% Arabian admix.
