African Hunter-Gatherer (African_HG)
Hunter-gatherer populations that inhabited various regions of Africa before agriculture, characterized by diverse genetic lineages and cultural practices.
Northern European
Populations from Northern Europe, including Scandinavians, Finns, and Balts, with hunter-gatherer and agricultural ancestry.
Siberian

Southeast Asian
Populations from Southeast Asia, including Thai, Vietnamese, Khmer, and Malay peoples, marked by cultural and linguistic diversity.
Caucasian
Populations from the Caucasus region, including Georgians, Armenians, and Azerbaijanis, known for cultural exchange and genetic admixture.
Near Eastern
Populations from the Near East, including Arabs, Turks, Persians, and Israelis, a historical crossroads of cultures and the cradle of civilization.

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 12 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 12 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
