Harappaworld — Global Admixture Calculator (Modern Era)

Harappaworld analyzes the proportional genetic ancestry of modern individuals against a broad, internationally curated panel of 16 reference populations. Using allele-frequency‑based admixture modeling, this calculator decomposes a genome into recognizable regional components to reveal the mosaic of recent and deep ancestral contributions.

Who it's for

• Researchers, genetic genealogists, educators, and curious individuals seeking high-resolution, global context for modern genomes.
• People with complex mixed heritage who want a clearer breakdown of continental and subcontinental signals.

What you learn

• Quantitative ancestry proportions from major and regional groups (e.g., S-Indian, Baloch, NE-Euro, Papuan).
• Signals consistent with major migration events (Out-of-Africa echoes, Eurasian expansions, Austronesian/Pacific, Beringian/Native American links).
• Relative affinities that help interpret admixture timing and population structure without providing medical or phenotype predictions.

Reference panel (16 populations)

• S-Indian, Baloch, SE-Asian, Siberian, NE-Asian, Caucasian, NE-Euro, Eastern_Euro, Mediterranean, Papuan, American, Beringian, San, E-African, Pygmy, W-African

Historical and genetic context Harappaworld situates modern genomes within a framework shaped by ancient migrations, regional isolation, and recent admixture. Components such as Beringian and American capture New World founder effects, while South Asian (S-Indian, Baloch) and Eurasian categories reflect millennia of exchange across the Indian Ocean and steppe corridors. African components (San, Pygmy, E‑African, W‑African) preserve deep structure from early human diversification.

Why Harappaworld is valuable

• A global, balanced panel designed to resolve both continental and fine-scale regional ancestry.
• Intuitive output for non-experts combined with transparent methodological notes for specialists.
• Helps users translate
