I scored trace Pakistan in 23&me until an update which redistributed the 0.6 Pakistan and some "unassigned" into Balkan. My relatives on my mother's side all score small amounts of Levant or Caucuses 0.5-2% and on some other commercial tests I score small amounts of North-Caucasian. G25 likes to model me as Icelandic + Belgian (or Calais) and I come out most closely related to English and Dutch. It's entirely possible it's a coincidence but it's also possible it isn't. The Scandinavian is harder to track, the German and possible Caucasian would have entered in the late 1800's but the Scandinavian goes way back and there is quite a bit on both sides. Fathers direct line is Orcadian, and they had married into Danes before settling in the United States and received more input from other Scottish settlers and Icelanders once here. Mothers direct line is from Argyle and began mixing with the Swedes in Nya Sverige pretty much as soon as they arrived. The highest Scandinavian I've ever scored on a commercial test is 28% on FTDNA which I think is ridiculously too high personally.

Something similar to that Celtic versus Germanic PCA.

Great work! You might consider adding in Battle axe culture samples as well :thumb001:

The three "eastern" Bell Beaker semi-outliers do cause a big proportion of all overlap.

However, an overlap makes results somewhat arbitrary and volatile (genetically closely related people can get much differing results). So for the purpose of a calculator I'd try to avoid any overlap. Or at least remove the 5 most overlap causing samples from each group. The overlaping area will then become comparably small.

I did an alternative calculator removing overlapping samples, but I chose to post finally the one I ended up posting in this thread.

Maybe I will use it in future calculators.
