MDLP World Ancient Roots K10

MDLP World Ancient Roots K10 is an admixture calculator designed to place a modern or ancient genome into a global, deep-time context. Using a K=10 model, it decomposes an individual's genetic profile into proportions derived from ten broad ancient reference populations: ENF (Early Neolithic Farmers), MHG (Mesolithic Hunter‑Gatherers), OOA‑Basal (Out of Africa‑Basal), East‑Eurasian, Amerindian, Archaic‑Man, Human_root, Oceanian, ASA (Ancestral South Asian), and ANE (Ancient North Eurasians). This tool is intended for researchers, informed hobbyists, genealogists curious about deep ancestry, and educators seeking a clear comparative framework for teaching human prehistory. What this calculator analyzes: it estimates how much of a genome best matches each ancient component, highlighting deep ancestral signals such as Neolithic farmer input, Mesolithic hunter‑gatherer persistence, basal non‑African lineages, and traces linked to the peopling of the Americas, Oceania, and South Asia. It also reports contributions from deeply divergent sources labeled Human_root and Archaic‑Man, which reflect extremely ancient lineages and archaic introgression patterns used here as broad exploratory categories. Insights users can gain: proportional breakdowns that reveal hidden affinities, comparative placement against global ancient variation, and hypotheses about past migrations and admixture episodes (for example, ANE influence across Eurasia or ASA contributions in South Asia). The calculator helps users visualize how modern genomes are mosaics of ancient populations and supports hypothesis generation about demographic history. Historical and genetic context: the components reflect major events—Neolithic farming expansions, Mesolithic refugia and continuity, Out‑of‑Africa diversification, early Eurasian dispersals, and colonization of the Americas and Oceania. By linking samples to these reference clusters, the model offers a narrative scaffold for interpreting genetic continuity
