Post your DNA.LAND results

probably balkaanic ancestry enriched with West Asian and Levantine. Basically MENA admixture and i got 24 percent of it myself

I would say that it is a Euro component which is found among those Islands and as you said it's probably similar to the Balkan component, MENA components are given different names

[Kelmendasi]

If it was a MENA component, people who score this should also score MENA on other calculators but they don't as for example I score 100% Euro and 100% Southeast Europe on Ftdna but I still get Med Islander on DNA land

some components on DNAland are very overlapping. example Italian-Sardinian-Balkan-Med Islander-Ashkenazi are more or less the same, Sardinian being the most western and Islander the most southern.

Oh so basically they are the same but different regions

[Kelmendasi]

Still though they are Euro components

kind of. like east med and west med

True. But Ashkenazi shouldn't be within this cluster(Southern Europe) as they are really different when compared to European groups

[Kelmendasi]

I'm just going to say that maybe Med Islander is due to Hellenic or other Southern European influence such as Italian, Balkan etc

As other members have said, DNA land isn't to be taken seriously in my opinion unless they are very similar to your results that you have uploaded to DNA land.

DNA Land is trash, they gave one of my family members a very high Balkan smh, the Italian roots are from Veneto so how the fuck is that possible
