I agree that Sub-Saharan is highest in Iberia (for Europe) but the map makes it look like Iberians are just as SSA as North Africans.

Well, the software that Day Tripper used is interpolating things between the points.

Imagine everything between points as "fantasy" of the software.

The Subsaharan blopp is cold stopped by the low value at the French spot.
But towards Africa, there is nothing to stop it while the Spanish spot has the highest Subsaharan from all spots in the map.

I averaged my ancestry (about 3/4UK and 1/4DE) in the parentheses.

North + Central European 0.18581 (.395)
North + East Eurasian 0.010554 (.001)
South + West European 0.197168 (.158)
North Atlantic 0.497785 (.395)
Sub-Saharan 0.00001 (.00001)
Baltic 0.108674 (.0655)

Wonder why my North + Central is so low compared to the avg.

^ A sign of strong Celtic (West British or Irish) ancestry IMO.

The average is alsmot 0% I believe

Yeah, and I seem to be the opposite. I have strong North/Central (Germanic?) and South/West (who knows what that is??), but relatively little North Atlantic (Irish). Actually surprisingly low, much lower than the ancestral populations where I am sourced from. So I'm pretty much a North-South mix with not much inbetween ...

I have the second-highest SSA admixture in this group, beaten only by a Spaniard.

Doesn't the fact, that a primarily South Western sample being used distort things too much?

As for a clear demarcation one needs to use South Eastern European samples too I'd say, otherwise these specifically SEE components might be just split up between the others in a rather unrepresentative manner?

[Polako]

I'm getting lots of e-mails about this issue (also from disgruntled Southern Europeans who aren't being run regulalry).

I might try and combine the two Euro tests into one tonight, and see what happens.

Day Tripper at ABF was kind enough to do a similarity chart for my results, my top match is Canada, second the United States. My top European match is Ireland, given that I'm mostly English by ancestry I'm surprised by the closeness to Ireland, either my Irish ancestors had a stronger genetic legacy than they typically should or my English ancestors are mostly pre-Germanic invasion. The German score seems a bit too high as well since I'm not even a full quarter German. The UK is close but I would have thought it to have been first between UK, Ireland and Germany since I'm about half English derived. I'm wondering if the Canadians I'm similar to are mostly English and given that I do have recent English-Canadian relatives/ancestors (great grandmother immigrant) and such that my score is biased towards that showing that I'm genetically more similar to those English-Canadians than to UK English.

Interesting chart, Barrel. You are still more similar to the Brits than most Americans that Day Tripper has made a chart for. The others' values do not go below 10.

The two of us seem to be more similar to certain European groups than the others, for whatever reason. My similarity to the British is around 2 on my chart.
