Eurasia Ancient Near East K13

Eurasia Ancient Near East K13 is an ancient-era admixture calculator that models a person’s autosomal DNA as proportions of 13 ancestral components derived from ancient and distinctive modern reference populations. Designed for a global audience — researchers, students, genetic hobbyists, and curious ancestry explorers — it emphasizes deep Eurasian and Near Eastern population structure and major Holocene migrations. The calculator estimates contributions from: SE_ASIAN, ANATOLIA_NEOLITHIC, CHG_EEF, POLAR, EHG, SUB_SAHARAN, IRAN_NEOLITHIC, KARITIANA, ANCESTRAL_INDIAN, NATUFIAN, SIBERIAN, PAPUAN, and SHG_WHG. These labels represent broad genetic clusters: Southeast Asian groups, early Anatolian farmers, Caucasus hunter-gatherer/early European farmer-related ancestry, high-latitude (polar) ancestries, Eastern European hunter-gatherers (EHG), Sub-Saharan African input, early Iranian farmers, Native American-related (Karitiana), deep South Asian (Ancestral Indian), Levantine Epipaleolithic (Natufian), Siberian hunter-gatherers, Papuan/Oceanian lineages, and Scandinavian/Western hunter-gatherer mixtures. What you can learn: the calculator highlights deep ancestral affinities and admixture signals tied to Neolithic farming expansions, Paleolithic hunter-gatherer substrata, Iranian and Levantine sources, Siberian and Oceanian connections, and Sub-Saharan or Native American contributions where present. It helps distinguish broad prehistoric influences, compare individuals to ancient reference profiles, and generate hypotheses about past migrations and population contacts. Why it’s valuable: by translating complex allele patterns into intuitive proportional components, K13 provides a reproducible, interpretable snapshot of ancient genetic structure useful for comparative studies, teaching, and personal exploration. Important caveats: results are model-dependent and coarse in resolution — ideal for deep-time inference, not for pinpointing recent relatives or precise geograp
