Does West Mediterranean ancestry on Gedmatch means European or North African ancestry?

[dududud]

Guess?

[Rocinante]

In almost all calculators of Gedmatch, it's a coordinate that means Sardinian. Gedmatch calcs should be seen all components together and not only one.

Yeah, but Sardinians also score a good amount of East_Med.

So it's European I guess

Exactly, that's why it should be seen all components together before make a conclusion. It's a lie that, for example, a Venetian or a Lombard that score 15 or 16 of East Med in EK15 means that he is partly from Cyprus or Lebanon, or if that same person scores 22 of North Sea, that he is partly viking. All components should be seen together.

As far as I know, European.

" In terms of "west med" component in k13; the proxy seems to be Sardinians that has over 50% "west med" derived dna. Which is understandable because they represent a near perfect, modern sample of European farmer-Neolithic dna without much of a genetic impact in Steppe admixture. Along with other Southern/Southwestern European populations that get a decent chunk of the "west med" component."

[Rocinante]

So it's European I guess

West Med it's like 80% european and East Med like 50%, it depends.

[gixajo]

And.

"The west med component in Eurogenes k13 is related to Early European Farmers and peaks in Sardinians. Everybody in Europe get's at least part of their ancestry from EEFs and it generally increases as you move south on a map of Europe."
