    Default Why is my Portuguese ancestry relatively high?

    I’m Dominican. Is my relatively high Portuguese result indicative of an actual genetic to Portugal/Western Iberia, or is it most likely noise?



    If you do the math, my European component is basically:

    50% Portuguese
    38% Spanish
    4.8% Southern Italy
    2.4% England and NW Europe
    2.4% Basque
    2.4% Germanic Europe

    Maybe. By noise I meant misread non-Galician Spanish since most Spaniards presumably score significant Portuguese ancestry on these tests and vice-versa.
