Description
Modern World Kakaji K11 is an autosomal admixture calculator designed to place a modern individual’s genome into a simplified global framework of 11 reference populations. Using contemporary comparative panels (Bedouin, EastAsia, Finn, Gambian, Kalash, Karitiana, Mbuti_Pygmies, Pima, Sardinian, Telegu, Yakut), the calculator estimates proportional ancestry components that reflect broad, deep population affinities across Africa, Europe, Asia, and the Americas. Who it’s for: researchers, genetic genealogy enthusiasts, students of human population history, and anyone curious about broad ancestral signals. This tool is most useful when you want a clear, interpretable snapshot of where your genome falls relative to well‑characterized regional exemplars, especially in a global context. What you learn: component proportions that indicate likely affinities to major geographic or ethnolinguistic clusters (for example, West African vs. Central African rainforest, Siberian vs. East Asian, South Asian vs. Mediterranean/European). Components like Sardinian and Finn capture particular European/Neolithic or Uralic affinities; Bedouin and Telegu reflect West Asian/Levantine and South Indian axes; Kalash highlights a distinct Central/South Asian signal; Karitiana and Pima represent Native American branches; Yakut and EastAsia separate northern/eastern Asian ancestries. Context and value: The K11 set provides a compact, interpretable map of global ancestry useful for comparative studies, hypothesis generation, and personal exploration. It balances continental breadth with some regional specificity so users can detect both broad continental contributions and certain regional or founder effects. Important notes: results are a simplified model—interpret proportions as indicative, not definitive. Resolution is limited by reference choice and number of components; temporal inferences (dating admixture) require additional methods. Used thoughtfully, Modern World Kakaji K11 is a practic

Reference Populations

  • Bedouin: Indigenous ethnic group traditionally inhabiting desert regions in the Middle Eastern continents.

  • EastAsia: Diverse populations in East Asia including countries such as China, Japan, and Korea, known for rich historical cultures.

  • Finn: Native population of Finland, part of the Uralic family, distinct in its linguistic roots and Northern European culture.

  • Gambian: West African ethnic group mainly residing in The Gambia, known for its rich cultural heritage and diversity.

  • Kalash: Indigenous people primarily in northwestern Pakistan, known for their unique religious beliefs and cultural practices different from the predominant populations in Pakistan.

  • Karitiana: Indigenous people of Brazil with a distinct language and culture, part of the Amazon Rainforest indigenous populations.

  • Mbuti_Pygmies: Indigenous people of the Congo Basin, known for their forest-dwelling lifestyle and unique cultural practices among Pygmy groups.

  • Pima: Indigenous group primarily in Arizona, USA, with a rich history and culture deeply connected to the region's river systems.

  • Sardinian: Natively from Sardinia, Italy, known for genetic uniqueness due to geographical isolation on the Mediterranean island.

  • Telegu: Ethnic group predominantly in the Indian states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, known for their Dravidian culture.

  • Yakut: Indigenous people of the Sakha Republic (Yakutia) in Russia, known for their Turkic language roots and adaptation to cold environments.

Continent Grouping:

  • Asia: EastAsia, Kalash, Telegu, Yakut
  • Europe: Finn, Sardinian
  • Middle East: Bedouin
  • Africa: Gambian, Mbuti_Pygmies
  • Americas: Karitiana, Pima

What is Admixture Analysis?

Admixture analysis is a method used to estimate your genetic ancestry by comparing your DNA to reference populations from around the world. Think of it as creating a recipe of your genetic makeup, where the ingredients are different ancestral populations.

This calculator uses 11 carefully selected modern populations as references, allowing for a detailed breakdown of your genetic heritage.

How It Works

Key Points
  • Your DNA is compared to 11 reference populations
  • Modern populations are used as references
  • Results show your genetic similarity to these populations

Understanding Your Results

Your results will show percentages of genetic similarity to these reference populations. Remember:

  • Results reflect genetic similarity, not direct ancestry
  • Modern populations are used as references
  • Percentages indicate relative genetic contribution from each population
  • Results are estimates based on available reference data
