Eurogenes Biogeographic Ancestry Project

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

Badge of honor eh?

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.

Me thinks recent immigrant ancestors are to thank.

North + Central European 35%
North East Eurasian = 0%
South + West European (Basque/Sardinian) = 27%
North Atlantic 35%
Sub-Saharan = 0%
Baltic = 3%

I think this is more realistic, although I' still quite surprised by the Baltic score. Karl said that it's probably linked to the Scandinavians having Baltic admixture. It seems very feasible, really.

Nice, I'm 34% Scandinavian then.

I think I need something explained to me. That is, why when current geneticists say three-quarters of the population of the British Isles directly descends from the Basques and has little admixture from the migrations/invasions of different stock why do I, and other Britons score 20-50% North Central European?

I for instance score 35% North + Central European.

How so?

Because of Anglo-Saxon invaders?

[poiuytrewq0987]

How so?

That thing you said about Karl suggesting that Baltic admixture might have come from the Scandinavians. If so then I am 34% Scandinavian (Baltic).

Because they are/were of the old belief that Y-DNA R1b = paleolithic Basque-like Europeans. I haven't heard someone claim what you stated in years. That used to be the accepted theory around 2006. A lot of studies have came out since then and the popular opinion has changed.

If looking at autosomal results, it is easy to see that the notion of the Brits being 75% paleolithic and similar to the Basques is absurd.

It seems I'm about five years too late then!

Whoops, last night's analysis was a flop. I ran the whole thing on the wrong markers by mistake. I'll re-run everything tonight. Apologies.
