Reference Populations

SEA (Southeast Asian)

Explore the rich tapestry of Southeast Asia, where rice paddies, ancient temples, and vibrant marketplaces echo the diversity and dynamism of its people. This ancestry component captures the spirit of cultures that have thrived in lush landscapes from the Mekong Delta to the islands of Indonesia, reflecting millennia of trade, tradition, and human migration.

Australo-Melanesian

Explore the profound heritage of the Australo-Melanesian people, whose history is etched into the rugged landscapes of Australia and the scattered, sun-drenched islands of Melanesia. This ancestry captures the legacy of some of the earliest human migrations, characterized by distinct genetic markers that reveal a deep connection to the land and the sea.

WHG (Western Hunter-Gatherers)

Journey back to the time of the Western Hunter-Gatherers, the nomadic peoples who roamed the vast forests and rolling steppes of Ice Age Europe. This component reflects a heritage of resilience and adaptation, embodying the spirit of those who lived in harmony with the harsh climatic changes and megafauna of the Paleolithic era.

African

Embrace the diverse and rich genetic legacy of Africa, the cradle of humanity. This ancestry component spans from the sweeping savannahs and dense rainforests to the expansive deserts, encapsulating the genetic diversity that has shaped human evolution. It represents the birthplace of both ancient civilizations and varied cultures that have influenced the entire globe.

Paleosiberian

Discover the Paleosiberian ancestry, a testament to the rugged endurance of the peoples who have long inhabited the expansive and frosty landscapes of northeastern Siberia. This genetic lineage tells the story of small, isolated groups who mastered the harsh Arctic environment, a narrative of survival and cultural richness beyond the vast tundra.

Basal

Uncover your most ancient roots with the Basal ancestry component, representing the earliest known divergences in human genetic history. This deep ancestral line offers a glimpse into the fundamental building blocks of human diversity, predating the rise of agriculture and the subsequent migrations that have shaped the modern human tapestry.

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
