Here's my FTDNA results!

No. Add your NE asian to your Amerind, for example.

So. My Origins is not accurate at all?

You are a mongoloid-neareastern-european mix like %75 of Turks ,and i have checked your photos and you can pass in turkey easily i think.

Hm. That is interesting. No, I am a Mexican/European Mix.

Not compared to 23andme.

[Dylan]

those are some cool results!

Right. I thought that My Origins goes back further than 23andme?

Thanks!

Well going back further shouldn't be too relevant, or am I wrong? You're barely gonna get 1% from ancestors that lived for, lets say, 300 years ago.

Right. Didn't think about that.

FTDNA's autosomal work is shoddy. Their haplogroup data is far superior though. Further? what do you mean? 25,000 years ago to before East Asians and Native Americans divided? sure, that's useful, and it's also useful to mislabel the results to indicate recent decent. Their algorithms are just six years out of date and they can't distinguish between non-Europeans.

Actually. I'm not really sure. Maybe, they determine more ancient lineages?
