GedrosiaDNA Iran Neolithic K6

GedrosiaDNA Iran Neolithic K6 is an ancient-era admixture calculator that models an individual’s autosomal ancestry against six deep ancestral components: Ancestral South Eurasian, East Asian, Iran Neolithic, Natufian, Western Hunter‑Gatherer (WHG), and Sub‑Saharan Africa. The model (K6) is optimized to highlight contributions tied to the Neolithic and earlier population structure across Eurasia and Africa, with an emphasis on the genetic signal associated with early Iranian farmers and their neighbors. Who it’s for: researchers, genetic genealogy enthusiasts, museum curators, students of bioanthropology, and anyone worldwide with autosomal genotype data seeking a historically informed, comparative perspective. It is useful for modern individuals curious about deep ancestry, or for analysts comparing ancient and modern samples to infer past migrations and admixture events. What you gain: proportional breakdowns that reveal the relative weight of Neolithic Iranian ancestry versus Levantine (Natufian), European forager (WHG), East Asian, deep South Eurasian, and Sub‑Saharan African components. These proportions can illuminate major demographic processes—such as the spread of farming, contacts between Western and South Asia, or later gene flow—helping you contextualize personal or sample histories within broad population movements. Historical/genetic context: "Gedrosia" references a historic corridor linking Southwest Asia and South Asia; the Iran Neolithic component represents early farming populations that were central to the diffusion of agriculture and genes across West and South Asia. Natufian and WHG reflect pre‑agricultural Levantine and European hunter‑gatherer ancestries; Ancestral South Eurasian and East Asian capture deeper southern and eastern Eurasian lineages; Sub‑Saharan Africa denotes African gene flow into peripheral populations. Why it’s valuable: the calculator provides a streamlined, interpretable synthesis of complex ancestry into six meaningfu
