MDLP K12e
MDLP K12e (Ancient) is a 12-component admixture calculator that maps modern and ancient genomes onto deep prehistoric reference clusters — from Archaic and Natufian to EHG, CHG, ASI, Papuan and Oceanic. Designed for global users, it provides an accessible snapshot of ancient ancestry signals, helping enthusiasts and researchers explore prehistoric migrations and population structure. Note: components are model proxies, not admixture dates.

MDLP K12e (Ancient) is a 12-component admixture calculator designed to place modern and ancient DNA samples into a deep-time framework of human population history. It quantifies the proportionate affinity of a tested genome to 12 carefully chosen reference clusters — Archaic, Oceanic, Southern Hunter-Gatherer (SHG), Pygmy, Southeast Asian (SEA), Papuan, Eastern Hunter-Gatherer (EHG), Onge, East Asian (EA), Caucasus Hunter-Gatherer (CHG), Ancestral South Indian (ASI) and Natufian — that capture broad, ancient population structure across Eurasia, South Asia, Oceania and Africa.
Who this is for: MDLP K12e is intended for genetic enthusiasts, students, and researchers who want a clear, interpretable snapshot of ancient ancestry signals in a global context. It is suitable for users comparing personal genomic results, exploring population-level patterns, or integrating ancient affinities into archaeological and anthropological interpretations.
What it analyzes and the insights you can gain: The calculator estimates how much each ancient reference contributes to a target genome, highlighting deep ancestries such as hunter-gatherer lineages (EHG, SHG, CHG), early Near Eastern components (Natufian), South Asian structure (ASI, Onge), Oceanian and Papuan signals, and residual archaic affinity. Results help trace major prehistoric migrations — for example, steppe-related EHG/CHG influence, the spread of Near Eastern farmers, coastal and islander lineages in Oceania, and the complex South Asian admixture cline — giving users a high-level map of their ancient genetic roots.
Context and value: By using ancient and deeply divergent reference clusters, MDLP K12e emphasizes ancestry on a timescale relevant to prehistory rather than recent historical admixture. It is a valuable exploratory tool for hypothesis generation, comparative analysis across populations, and educational demonstration of major prehistoric genetic turns. Users should note limitations: component labels are mod
Referenzpopulationen
Die in diesem Rechner als genetische Referenzen verwendeten Populationen
12 Referenzpopulationen
- Archaic: Early humans who lived outside of Africa, characterized by distinct physical features and tool technologies.
- Oceanic: Diverse group of populations inhabiting the islands of the Pacific Ocean, including Melanesians, Micronesians, and Polynesians.
- Southern Hunter-Gatherer (SHG): Hunter-gatherer populations that inhabited Southern Europe before the arrival of farmers from the Near East.
- Pygmy: Indigenous peoples of Central Africa known for their short stature, traditionally hunter-gatherers living in forest environments.
- Southeast Asian (SEA): Diverse group of populations inhabiting Southeast Asia, a region of great cultural and linguistic diversity.
- Papuan: Indigenous peoples inhabiting the island of New Guinea and surrounding islands, genetically distinct from other populations in Southeast Asia and Oceania.
- Eastern Hunter-Gatherer (EHG): Hunter-gatherer populations that inhabited Eastern Europe before the arrival of farmers from the Near East.
- Onge: Indigenous people of the Andaman Islands in the Bay of Bengal, traditionally hunter-gatherers with a unique culture and language.
- East Asian (EA): Diverse group of populations inhabiting East Asia, including Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, and Mongolians.
- Caucasus Hunter-Gatherer (CHG): Hunter-gatherer populations that inhabited the Caucasus region before the arrival of farmers from the Near East.
- Ancestral South Indian (ASI): Ancient population that contributed to the ancestry of modern South Asians, genetically distinct from the Ancient North Indians (ANI).
- Natufian: Late Epipaleolithic culture in the Levant region of the Near East, semi-sedentary hunter-gatherers who lived in villages and practiced early forms of agriculture.

Was ist eine Admixture-Analyse?
Bei einer Admixture-Analyse wird Ihre genetische Ähnlichkeit geschätzt, indem Ihr DNA mit Referenzpopulationen aus verschiedenen Weltregionen verglichen wird. Die Komponenten des Modells stehen für diese Referenzen und hängen von den zugrunde liegenden Daten und Annahmen ab.
Dieser Rechner nutzt 12 sorgfältig ausgewählte ancient Populationen als Referenzen und ermöglicht eine detaillierte Darstellung Ihrer genetischen Ähnlichkeit.
So funktioniert es
- Ihr DNA wird mit 12 Referenzpopulationen verglichen
- Ancient-Populationen dienen als genetische Referenzen
- Die Ergebnisse zeigen Ihre genetische Ähnlichkeit zu diesen Populationen
- Ein vielfältiges Referenzpanel verbessert die Schätzungen
Ihre Ergebnisse verstehen
Ihre Ergebnisse zeigen Prozentsätze der genetischen Ähnlichkeit zu diesen Referenzpopulationen. Beachten Sie diese Punkte:
- Die Ergebnisse spiegeln genetische Ähnlichkeit wider, nicht nachgewiesene direkte Abstammung
- Ancient-Populationen werden als Referenzen verwendet
- Die Prozentsätze geben relative Beiträge im Modell an
- Die Ergebnisse sind Schätzungen auf Basis der verfügbaren Referenzdaten
