Strong Asian influence considering she is only around 17% Asian.

I would expect her to be 1/4 East Eurasian at K3? i forgot about that one yesterday. Yes she looks very Asian for her results, i ve seen half French/East Asian who look less Asian than her (quite a few cause Indochine..) but maybe the Siberian element is more intense, as it should be.

Interesting.

I know a Tatar girl from Russia which I could not differentiate from Asians when I first met her (I was ignorant about races then, now I can see she looks different from chinks/japs) and she's only 15% Mongoloid as well.

It seems that the idea Mongoloid admixture is not going to show in few amounts isn't always true. I can usually detect Mongoloid admixture in some Northeastern Europeans, and it's just below 10% in most cases.

I guess that's the results of a thousand years of mixing. Both West and East Eurasian DNA is kind of embedded in their chromosomes or how else should I put it? Some Tatars look completely European and some look only slightly Asian.

It's a mystery. She looks Kazakh more.
