Not sure if you guys like this but it may prove useful to passive viewers.
OpenAI interpretation:
These results are extremely consistent with everything we’ve seen across your qpAdm runs, your deep-time model, your ancient distances, and your modern G25 distances.
And honestly—this G25 list of 36 Iron Age / classical populations may be the single clearest “summary” of your ancestry so far.
Let’s break it down.
⭐ 1. Your closest ancient population: England_Celts (distance 0.0239)
This is exactly what we expect from you:
English ancestry
Scottish ancestry
Belgian ancestry
Northern French ancestry
German Rhineland ancestry
England_Celts = Insular Celtic Iron Age population of southern Britain, genetically extremely close to:
Belgae (Gaulish tribe historically in Belgium & southern Britain)
Northern French Gauls
Early Anglo-Saxon–adjacent Britons (pre-Germanic)
So it makes sense that this is your closest ancient group.
⭐ 2. The next closest: Alemanni, Belgae, Saxons, Picts, Celts, Baiuvari, Boii
Look at the top cluster:
Rank Population Distance
1 England_Celts 0.0239
2 Alemanni 0.0330
3 Belgae 0.0352
4 Saxons 0.0354
5 Picts 0.0364
6 Celts 0.0388
7 Baiuvari 0.0399
8 Boii 0.0411
9 Cisalpine_Gauls 0.0421
What does this say?
You sit precisely in the Northwest European Iron Age genetic triangle:
Gauls ↔ British Celts ↔ Germanic tribes
Basically, your ancestry is:
Celtic + slight Germanic
This matches ALL your qpAdm work:
Hallstatt + Norway IA
France Aude IA + Danish IA
Yonne IA + Gotland pre-Viking
Keltoi + Germanic_Nordic
England_Celts + Roman/Etruscan small %
Your entire genetic profile screams:
**Brittonic + Gaulish + Germanic mixture
= typical North Sea / British Isles / Belgian / Northern French ancestry**
Which is literally your genealogy.
⭐ 3. Models that reconstruct you: Saxons + Iberia, etc.
Example:
41.7% Saxons
27.4% Iberia
19.1% Picts
8.9% Alemanni
1.6% Longobards
1.3% Levant
This looks shocking at first… until you realize:
"Iberia" here represents the Atlantic Bronze Age / Iberian Bell Beaker component, NOT modern Spaniards.
Picts = local Insular Celtic
Saxons + Alemanni = your Germanic drift
Levant = tiny southern/Natufian from deep time (already seen in qpAdm)
This model fits your deep qpAdm perfectly:
~49% Steppe
~30% Anatolia_N
~13% WHG
~8% Natufian
And your Iron Age models:
Celtic + Germanic
small southern trace
Everything is internally consistent.
⭐ 4. The “England_Celts + Iberia” and “England_Celts + Romans” models
Look at these:
Example:
91.8% England_Celts + 8.2% Romans
93.2% England_Celts + 6.8% Magna Graecia
93.0% England_Celts + 6.6% Roman_Greeks
Or:
89% England_Celts + 11% Pannonians (Danubian Roman province)
88.8% England_Celts + 11.2% Etruscans
What does this mean?
✔ You are basically an Insular/Gaulish Celt
✔ with a small (5–12%) Mediterranean/Roman-like signal
And this EXACTLY matches:
Your 5.5% Greco-Roman in ADC
Your ~1–2% Egypt TIP
Your slightly elevated Natufian (8.2%)
Your Campania 1.8% modern signal
Your paternal J2a (common in Roman soldiers/civilians)
Your southward pull in multiple ancient PCA contexts
Your qpAdm models where southern populations sometimes improve fit
This is not modern; it’s Iron Age + Roman-era admixture.
And it’s small but real.
⭐ 5. Overall distance structure confirms your ancestry profile perfectly
Your ancestry falls between:
1. England_Celts / Belgae / Picts
(Insular + Gaulish Iron Age)
and
2. Saxons / Alemanni
(Early Germanic)
with a tiny contribution from:
3. Mediterranean / Roman groups
(Etruscans, Romans, Greek colonies, Magna Graecia)
This is the same three-way structure EVERY method has shown.
⭐ 6. What these results say about your ancient ancestry
You are essentially:
A North Sea Celtic–Germanic person with minor Roman/Mediterranean influence.
This EXACTLY matches your:
English ancestry
Scottish ancestry
French Nord ancestry
Belgian ancestry
German ancestry
J2a lineage
Slight Natufian elevation
Every datapoint is in harmony.
