very confusing results

[Black Wolf]

Oracle X basically seems to be an analysis that tries to break your ancestry up into different modern ethnic groups that are present in the world today.

[Hajdu]

Best to email Vadim and ask him, but Oracle X seems to aggregate all of ones conventional European ancestry into one best matching group, and then identify remaining bits of DNA you share with other outlying populations. Possibly good to identify ancestry from more obscure populations. My own results were quite interesting.

[Alessio]

I agree with the above statement '' Oracle X basically seems to be an analysis that tries to break your ancestry up into different modern ethnic groups that are present in the world today.''

Because I see that all gedmatch calculators are very different from eachother in oracle-X.
I think 23andme does a better job with this.
What is the difference between oracle-X and ''Primary Population (source) Secondary Population (source) Distance'' because the second one is almost always correct and the first one is not even close.
