The Eurasia K5 ( USD 9) admixture calculator was specifically designed to measure relatedness of individuals to highly diverged populations of Eurasia, to wit:
1- West Eurasians
2- South Eurasians
3- East Eurasians
4- Eastern Siberians & Native Americans
5- Basal Eurasians & Africans
Differences between the Eurasia K5, commercial ancestry tests, and other Admixture program based calculators:
In contrast to commercial ancestry tests and other Admixture program based calculators, the Eurasia K5 is designed to detect TOTAL DEEPER RELATEDNESS between the test subject and the aforementioned divergent populations than other tests.
Commercial DNA ancestry tests can detect East or South Asian ancestry in Europeans or West Asians only if there is recent admixture, however they are not designed to find older such ancestry that may have introgressed during Medieval, Iron Age, Bronze Age, or Neolithic times. Similarly other Admixture program based calculators do the same. The reason for this is that a test subject's DNA is compared to many other West Asian or European populations and many South or East Asian DNA segments go unreported because they are incorporated into the West Asian or European references via older admixture from Iron Age Steppe nomads or Turkic migrations into West Asia and Europe. In other words these older East or South Asian DNA segments are not reported under East or South Asian in the test subject's test results. This calculator seeks to find those older East Eurasian, South Eurasian, Siberian, and Basal Eurasian/African segments in the user's DNA.
Similarly, this test also seeks to find older West Eurasian, Siberian, and Basal Eurasian DNA segments in East Asian users. Ditto for testers from the Americas and Africa.
In "Paleolithic DNA from the Caucasus reveals core of West Eurasian ancestry", Supplementary Information, Tables S4.2-S4.5, Lazaridis et al, 2018, the authors showed via formal statistics that most West Asian and European populations including ancient ones have some older East Asian and Siberian related admixture. The Eurasia K5 test is also able to detect this older admixture unlike commercial ancestry testing companies such as 23andMe or AncestryDNA, and unlike most other Admixture based calculators
My mom's results (100% Kurd from Iraq) are quite similar to formal stats. Post your results here.
