How am I so neolithic shifted?

[Italicus]

You inherit about 50% from each of your parents, but after that inheritance is somewhat random.

Interesting! That probably explains it, but I'm still a bit surprised that I have quite the Southern shift considering who my ancestors were.

I see in threads this problem with very mixed people

Haha yea I'm kind of a mutt LOL

One explanation: Random inheritance - you simply inherited more of the southern genes.

Also could be flaws in the raw data interpretation, calculator algorithm, or population averages could be faulty due to poor sampling.

Speaking of population averages, they are only that, an average, and all of the GEDmatch calcs are based on averages. There will be a normal range of variation on either side of that average.

Having seen many, many user calculator runs over the last 3 years or so, the disparity in your results does not jump out at me as anything particularly unusual. Actually, I think it's interesting when things don't quite match up to expectations, it means that it's time for an investigation. I'm still investigating my own results three years later, it never ends my friend.
