never heard of Ethnogene before

found one example on reddit:

seems like results are very close to 23andme and Ancestry

LOL. They never share percentage of specific subregion. Only show them in that table for countries, and only there have percentages.
And those provided subregions are impossible. There aren't academic Moroccan subregional datasets, nor on Gedmatch you can find them for such small administrative units lol. I checked some time ago. The same for Algeria, Portugal, Nigeria subregions. FilhoV is Portugese and we talked about lack of Portugese Gedcom kits.
So from what ass those regions are?
This is put randomly (the more, the better). Only Italia and Spain could be corect in OP and possible to use. For France I saw such small regions in other people results that is also fake.

Only23&me or Ancestry using his database with hundreds thosusand tested people could make such division. But they are created three months ago. Check on23&me forum what was written about Ethnogene...

Yea, I'm pretty sure its just a fluff report. I did one because I was curious and the results were way too detailed for a small operation to arrive at legitimately. 23 and Me is just now sorting out how to deal with France and Germany and Ethnogene has no problem? Please...

They did confirm they had a lurking presence on Anthrogenica, and some results were suspiciously close to what people had in their signatures and in threads they posted in the past. Not saying I am 100% sure this is how they arrived at some results but I suspect it. One user even got banned for saying that lol
