DNA test results of Chris596

Why did I get 88% Balkan in that case? XD Myheritage literally acts like some kind of calculator.

Because half Albanian half Hungarian results will look South Slavic obviously. Balkan on Myheritage literaly means modern South Slav.

Ao you are proving my point, it acts like calculator. Why would he pay for such a bullshit. If he wants good results where he finds out which region he really belongs to, he needs ancestry or 23andme.

I don't understand why people attack MH for being trash but defend 23andMe. Both are using modern populations as a reference, what makes one trash and the other is decent? Both are incapable of showing you a decent result. I even think that MH is better because they cover your small amount of admixtures while 23andMe assign this percentage to major components randomly. Maybe the recent ancestor region feature looks good, but it is far from being accurate and it is a matter of luck if they collected the required samples from this region or not.

I personally think the most logical thing in Eastern Europe buying MH considering price/accuracy ratio and wouldn't recommend anyone from this region to buy 23andme if s/he is not want to learn mt-DNA.

The service 23andme provided in Europe is another part of the story. They lost my kit 2 times and it had been 5 months until I get my results, Chris lived the same experience too. It shouldn't be a coincidence.

Right,... And they're having an upgrade so I'm excited. But idk if I should leave my account with the 23andme raw data or get another my heritage kit with their own raw dna.

Maybe that would make a big difference.

I can't agree. Current 23andme raw data is inferior to Myheritage, and by big margin.
They are not worth excessive money they demand.

Also, their regions aren't accurate either. It doesn't even recognize Stears Szekler side lol.
He didn't get any region in Romania and not a region of his mother in Hungary either.

Only raw data matters, and in that 23andme sucks on V5 chip.

Chris results on gedmatch are far more accurate with myheritage than they would be if he tested on 23andme.
And so will be his G25 coordinates if he buys them. Because his raw data is good.

As someone who made shitload of ,,classify" threads, I have to say that physical anthropology is one big crap and means absolutely nothing as we can see.

PS. Welcome to Serbosphere XD

Well one thing to keep in mind, the phenotypes are ancient and were spread and absorbed long ago through migration, so they would not necessarily align strictly with recent ancestry. Also, Chris' asiatic traits can fit within the Eastern and Southeastern European range of looks without needing exotic validation. In other words, his looks could be a recapitulation of ancestors from hundreds of years ago or more who's DNA is absorbed and recombined in broken bits.

By the way, his result expected and typical for half Szekely and half Alföld. Imagine, Hungarians are close to the Croats and Szekely is identical with Romanians. A mix of Croat + Romanian would give you a Serb. Apparently Alföld + Szekely has similar output.

I don't know if anyone realized or not but he has 3% EE in PuntDNAL K13.

in 23andme people of the same ethnicity get similar results, while in myheritage it's all over the place. Among Balkanians East Euro, Balkan and Greek can vary a lot and i've seen Serbs get random Finnish, Scandinavian and Arabic.
