What Modern British Populations are you Closer to (SCALED)

[Kiel]

What I find interesting is your distance is similiar to me and Daco and we are
genetically 50% from that region.

Hmm, thats interesting. Why do you think I get similar or even better distances than you two?
Also why Welsh?

Not totally sure.
I guess its your Germanic ancestry, maybe you have celtic/celto germanic genes that can model you close ish to anglo saxon /celts.

Daco being half Romanian I imagine gives quite a southern pull to his modelling.
Maybe I inherited genes that generally shift me a bit closer to my Hungarian side or model me more continental European than British. However seems to depend on samples I have had some results with closer distances to Britain and have found samples that correctly model me 50% Brit and 50% Hun.

Wow, unlike Spaniards, Portuguese or me (predominately Spanish) you get a very different order of closeness to British populations.

Well, from what I read, it seems I am closest to Orkney in all of Britain due to ANE:

"The paper says Norwegian DNA has contributed to about 25% of Orcadian DNA"

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc...d-31946436.amp

I am 1/3 amerindian so that would explain it.

That's the reason you are scoring a few percentage of Orcadian in your results too.
