Reference Populations
WHG (Western Hunter-Gatherer): Ancestral population in Europe, prevalent before the advent of agriculture.
Saami: Indigenous people inhabiting Sápmi, spanning parts of Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia.
Siberian: Populations from Siberia with unique genetic traits, often linked to rugged climates and nomadic lifestyles.
EHG (Eastern Hunter-Gatherer): Ancestral population in Eastern Europe and Western Siberia.
Neolithic: Refers to populations associated with the Neolithic agricultural revolution in Europe.
SHG (Scandinavian Hunter-Gatherer): Prehistoric inhabitants of Scandinavia before the spread of farming.
Onge: Indigenous people of the Andaman Islands, known for their isolated genetic traits.
Papuan: Indigenous people of Papua New Guinea, characterized by distinct Melanesian genetics.
Mota: Ancient population reference from Ethiopia, representing early African genetic diversity.
African: Broad term encompassing the diverse genetic backgrounds across the African continent.
Melanesian: Populations in Melanesia, with unique genetic adaptations to the island environments.

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 11 carefully selected modern and ancient populations as references, allowing for a detailed breakdown of your genetic heritage.
How It Works
Key Points
- Your DNA is compared to 11 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
- Modern and ancient populations are used as references
- Percentages indicate relative genetic contribution from each population
- Results are estimates based on available reference data
