It seems I am ancient European. Go back to Mongolia so called Europeans!

I think the Metal Age Invader seems more shifted to Asia from results I've seen. The HG is higher in Northwest Euros like myself. That's from memory though and I haven't seen these posted in quite a long time.

This was my result.

Why does it say 0% Non-European for me while my ancestry is 99% Caucasus + 1% Baltic. These tests consider Caucasus MENA but if you go further back you see 0% non-European. Among which groups do you recall farmers are? Thanks.

It's not the best test really. I wouldn't take it too seriously. The best thing with these is to compare them to people of a similar ethnicity. Your Ancestry test above appears more accurate.

I think that ancient European results are from haplogroups that overlap well with my 23andMe haplogroup interpretation. Of course, your recent ancestry comes from autosomal DNA which can't be traced back more than 200 years ago because it gets complicated.

No the ancient results are also from your autosomal dna. Nothing to do with your haplogroups. I'm J1c3f for example so J is more Farmer whereas your mtdna is more indigenious to Europe.

Oh okay. I saw it mentioned haplogroups and the fossils like Ötzi the Iceman found in Europe etc. when clicked on the "shovels" on that maps and that's why I thought it was about haplogroups.
