    rolleyes Where is West Asia on the map?

    Hi all
    I really have descendants (21.17%) from West Asia (Anatolian, Central Asian, Caucasian, Iran, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Israel, etc)?
    Or it's just a mistake, and I can have 0% of these populations. But does Romania's position on the map make it be classified as a West Asian country?

    Hi all
    I actually have three questions:
    1) I have 21.17% West Asian real? Or is this due to the fact that Romania cannot receive 100% European due to its geographical position close to Asia?
    2) Is this 21.17% West Asian real, such as Iranians, Anatolians, Arabs, or actually I can have 0% of these populations, and only for the same reason above I am classified as West Asian?
    3) Is Central Asia part of West Asia? Can the whole percentage come from there?
    It's generally related to the Caucasus region for modern references, and CHG/Iran_Neolithic for ancient admixtures. In Europeans a part of it shown here was likely mediated by the steppe, and sometimes by additional near/middle easterns inputs too. Neareasterns for example would score mainly high west asian and southern in this test.

    In general the least of that West Asian in Europe are Finns and Basques, and their direct surroundings (lowest euro scores in K13 for example)
