Hoabinhian
c. 44,000 - 4,000 BCECave dwellers and foragers who thrived across mainland Southeast Asia for tens of millennia.
Forest and cave foragersCompare your DNA with ancient reference individuals from mainland Southeast Asia, the Malay Archipelago, Melanesia, Micronesia, Polynesia, and Australia. Explore genetic similarity across archaeological contexts and time periods, without treating a statistical match as proof of direct descent.
"Islands connect us. Across oceans, through time."
"The ocean remembers. The islands remember. The stars remember."
When the seas were lower and the islands closer, the first humans crossed into Sahul more than 50,000 years ago. Hoabinhian foragers thrived for millennia in tropical forests and along the coasts.
The Austronesian expansion, one of the greatest maritime movements in human history, carried languages, crops, and pottery traditions from Taiwan through the Philippines and Indonesia and onward into the Pacific.
The Khmer raised the temples of Angkor, Srivijaya controlled the Strait of Malacca, and Lapita navigators opened the open ocean to settlement. Your report compares your DNA with individuals from these contexts and shows where genetic similarity is strongest.

One of the oldest continuous cultures on Earth, with deep roots across the Australian continent.
Sahul's first peoplesNot just percentages. A detailed look at which ancient Southeast Asian and Oceanian reference individuals and populations your DNA is most genetically similar to.
We scan your autosomal DNA in short segments and compare each one against every ancient Southeast Asian and Oceanian genome using identical-by-state (IBS) segment matching, weighting longer, rarer shared segments more heavily.
A panel-specific 0-100 similarity score weighting shared segments at 50%, ADMIXTURE distance at 31.25%, and Monte Carlo fit at 18.75%. It is not an ancestry percentage.
The fixed regional reference panel defines stable PCA axes; your kit is projected afterward without moving the reference samples.
See the archaeological sites where your closest reference matches were found, from mainland caves to remote Polynesian islands.
Your genetic similarity to each era: Hoabinhian, Neolithic, Bronze Age, Austronesian Expansion, Maritime Kingdoms, Lapita, and Polynesian.
Meet the ancient reference individual most genetically similar to you, with their era, site, and archaeological context.
Optional AI explanations place your similarity results in historical and archaeological context. AI output is informational, not proof of ancestry.
Compare your DNA with mainland Southeast Asia, the Malay Archipelago, Melanesia, Micronesia, Polynesia, and Australia.
Find ancient individuals who share your mtDNA or Y-DNA lineage branch. A shared branch reflects deep lineage affinity, not a specific common ancestor.
See whether your strongest similarity falls with early Hoabinhian foragers, Austronesian seafarers, or later maritime kingdom populations.
Explore reference samples from contexts such as Angkor, Spirit Cave, Tabon Cave, Lapita sites across Melanesia, and settlements across Polynesia.
Your report includes an interactive map of the archaeological sites across Southeast Asia and the Pacific where your closest reference matches were recovered.

These portraits are AI-generated artistic interpretations, not photographs. The archaeological samples behind them are real, recovered from sites across Southeast Asia and the Pacific.
Our panel includes 800 Ancient Southeast Asia & Oceania individuals. Your report shows which are most genetically similar to you.
Ancient DNA, modern analysis. Advanced algorithms, transparent results.
ADMIXTURE compares your genetic profile against regional reference components for high-resolution similarity analysis.
Stable PCA axes are defined by the fixed reference panel; your kit is projected afterward without moving the references.
Repeated simulation provides robust similarity estimates with confidence intervals.
Reference individuals from six regions spanning more than 50,000 years of human history.
Short autosomal segments are compared against every ancient genome in the panel with IBS matching, weighting longer, rarer shared segments more heavily.
All ancient DNA samples come from peer-reviewed publications, with citations and links provided in your report.

DNA Genics has been building ancestry and DNA analysis reports since 2018. Our reports come from years of work with our own reference panels, calculators and ancient-genome comparisons, developed and reviewed by our team. They are not generated on the fly or assembled as a side project. We use AI only in clearly labelled optional features.

Real, verified reviews from people who have explored their genetic similarity with DNAGENICS
Great reports like the "Human Leukocyte Antigen" Report. The Deep Ancient Reports with Samples are very helpful to understand the Results and own Heritage. I like the Admixture Studio and the powerful G25 Studio.
DNAGenics is an excellent company. It provides necessary services for those of us who need help understanding and working with complex genetic information. They are efficient in their communications. I recommend them without hesitation.
Excellent company with helpful customer support that always respond very quickly. There are always new features and the purchase packs include a lot of admixture reports and G25 coordinates. Highly recommend.
