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.

什么是“混合分析”?
混合分析是用来通过将你的DNA与来自世界各地的参考人群进行比较来估计你的基因祖先的一种方法。 把它看作是创造了你的基因化妆的食谱, 即成分是不同的祖先种群。
此计算器使用 20 仔细选择 ancient 作为参考,可以详细分解您的遗传遗产。
如何运作
- 将您的 DNA 与 20 个参考人群进行比较
- 以 Ancient 人群作为遗传参考
- 结果显示你的基因与这些种群相似
- 使用不同的参考面板更准确
了解你的成果
您的研究结果将显示与这些参考人群的遗传相似性的百分比。请记住这些要点:
- 结果反映了遗传相似性,而不是直接祖先
- Ancient populations are used as references
- 表明相对遗传贡献的百分比
- 结果是根据现有参考数据作出的估计数
