Reference Populations
Ancestral South Eurasian
- Populations: Indigenous groups from South Asia, reflecting ancient genetic ancestry distinct from those in the surrounding regions.
East Asian
- Populations: Comprises ethnic groups primarily from East Asia, including Chinese, Japanese, and Koreans.
Iran Neolithic
- Populations: Early agricultural societies from the Iranian plateau, representing the transition from hunter-gatherer to farming communities.
Natufian
- Populations: Prehistoric communities from the Levant, significant for their role in the shift from nomadic to sedentary lifestyles around 12,000 years ago.
Western Hunter-Gatherer (WHG)
- Populations: Early European hunter-gatherers inhabiting the region during the Mesolithic period.
Sub-Saharan Africa
- Populations: Various ethnic groups located in Africa south of the Sahara Desert, known for their diverse cultures and languages.

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 6 carefully selected ancient populations as references, allowing for a detailed breakdown of your genetic heritage.
How It Works
Key Points
- Your DNA is compared to 6 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
- Ancient populations are used as references
- Percentages indicate relative genetic contribution from each population
- Results are estimates based on available reference data
