Hello,
So I received my Geno 2 results and of course have questions.
The information displayed on the page, "Who I Am" says I'm,
56% Mediterranean, 21% Northern European, 20% Southwest Asian, 2% Northeast Asian, 1.7% Neanderthal and 1.1% Denisovan.
My first reference population is Northern Caucasian.
My second reference population is Sardinian.
My known, documented ancestry to about 1780's is Jewish Ashkenazi
and my ancestors come from Galicia, in present day Ukraine.
How does my Geno 2 admixture reconcile with my known ancestry?
I recognize the Northern European as where my ancestors eventually settles 1000's of years ago as most recent, and the Asian would come from earlier, more ancient ancestor, but how does Mediterranean fit in being that I'm 56%?
Mediterranean doesn't appear on my map at all.
What do the 1st and 2nd reference population refer to?
Just a culture to compare my results to or is it implying, my ancestors are more specifically "Northern Caucasian and Sardinian?
I would appreciate any opinions to help me understand my results,
Brian
