Tolan K20 BronzeAge
Tolan K20 BronzeAge — 20-population Bronze Age admixture model
A Bronze Age–focused ancestry calculator for global users. Decomposes genomes into 20 ancient and regional reference components (Anatolian_CHL, Iran_CHL, West-/East-Steppe, Jordan_BA, Mota, North-Africa, Siberian, Amerindian, etc.) to highlight farmer, steppe, Near Eastern, African, and Asian signals. Ideal for genetic genealogy, archaeogenetics, and comparative analysis; interprets proportions as model-based estimates.

Tolan K20 BronzeAge — Ancient-era Admixture Calculator
This calculator estimates ancestry proportions against a curated 20-population Bronze Age-focused reference panel. It is designed to analyze how a query genome decomposes into ancestries modeled from ancient and regionally informative groups, including Anatolian and Armenian Chalcolithic, multiple Steppe components, Iran Chalcolithic, Jordan Bronze Age, East and West Eurasian clusters, African references (Mota, North-Africa, West-Africa), and transcontinental groups such as Amerindian, Oceanian and Siberian.
Who it’s for
- Genetic genealogists, archaeogeneticists, and curious individuals worldwide who want Bronze Age–centric ancestry context.
- Researchers comparing modern or ancient samples to a consistent Bronze Age-informed scaffold.
What it analyzes and the insights you can gain
- Proportional contributions from 20 reference ancestries (e.g., West-Steppe, East-Steppe, Anatolian_CHL, Iran_CHL, Jordan_BA).
- Relative signals of farmer, hunter-gatherer, steppe pastoralist, and regional African or Asian components that shaped populations in the Bronze Age and later.
- Patterns useful for detecting Steppe expansions, Near Eastern farmer influence, South/Central Asian input, and transcontinental admixture visible in modern and ancient samples.
Historical and genetic context
The Bronze Age was a period of major population movements and cultural exchange. This model uses ancient and geographically-relevant genetic clusters to reflect known demographic processes—such as Anatolian-derived farming expansions, Iranian plateau contributions, and multiple waves of Steppe-related migrations—while also accounting for African and East Asian lineages that intersected with Eurasian populations.
Why this calculator is valuable
- Provides a Bronze Age–aware decomposition that complements modern-centric calculators.
- Useful for hypothesis generation, comparative studies, and personal exploration of deep ancestry.

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 20 sorgfältig ausgewählte ancient Populationen als Referenzen und ermöglicht eine detaillierte Darstellung Ihrer genetischen Ähnlichkeit.
So funktioniert es
- Ihr DNA wird mit 20 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
