Playing around with the reference pops and managed to get the P value up slightly

Here's what I get:







I haven't tried it with your references.

Yeah, you should try it out when you get a chance, I’d be interested to see what you get.

this is what I get when using your NW populations as a source combined with Russia Sunghir, which seems to me to be one of the best proxies for Slavs

With your references:



With the additional references, it does not improve the p value for me.

Interesting, that’s quite a solid amount of Germanic you’ve got there, how much do you normally get with these IA models.

A guy from Russia ran my Ancestry kit.

Models that passed






Models with Thracian and Illyrian sources failed, only the Glinoe Scythian, which he said is actually Dacian worked.

It varies based on the samples used:









Not really sure that in most cases qpAdm can reliably distinguish between Celtic and Germanic populations.

I can model myself with just Celtic sources also:











And then Modeling with just Germanic sources:

Yeah, I've noticed that as well, which is interesting given how people always say how much better qpAdm is to G25. Also, it seems that your choice of right populations can have quite a big impact on your results, which is annoying given that there doesn't seem to be any clear formula on what makes for an optimal reference set.
