MDLP K12f

MDLP K12f (Ancient) is a genetic admixture calculator optimized for broad, deep-time analysis of worldwide ancestry. It decomposes a genome into 12 ancestral components calibrated against ancient and deeply divergent reference groups: Indian, African Hunter-Gatherer (African_HG), Northern European, Siberian, Amerindian, Southeast Asian, Caucasian, Near Eastern, Southern European, Western European, Papuan-Melanesian, and East African. Designed for users who want an accessible, historically informed picture of their genetic makeup, this model emphasizes ancient population structure and major prehistoric migration signals rather than fine-scale modern substructure. Who this is for: hobby geneticists, family historians, students of population history, and researchers seeking a clear, comparative snapshot of ancient-derived ancestry across global lineages. It is also useful for people with mixed or cosmopolitan backgrounds who want to understand deep ancestral affinities beyond modern nation-based labels. What it analyzes and the insights you can gain: MDLP K12f estimates proportions of ancestry attributable to each of the 12 reference components, highlighting contributions from African hunter-gatherer lineages, early Eurasian groups, Australo-Papuan branches, Siberian and Amerindian ancestries, and major West Eurasian components (Caucasian, Near Eastern, Southern and Western European). Results can illuminate past admixture events, long-distance migrations, and prehistoric demographic affinities — for example, distinguishing signals associated with steppe/Siberian influx, ancient Near Eastern farmer-related ancestry, or deep South Asian components. Historical and genetic context: The calculator frames modern genomes against ancient population clusters that reflect long-standing genetic structure shaped by Paleolithic and Neolithic movements, later expansions, and geographic isolation. It is not a definitive genealogical record but a probabilistic reconstruction that c
