None of those show up in my other Ancestry reports. My mother's DNALand shows 100% west Eurasian. Mine is only 85%...seems really weird. I know I could have gotten them from my father..,but the fact that none of my other reports show anything like them makes me skeptical of the validity of the results. I have also seen several other posts that have similar percentages (within 1%) of these which makes me think they are mistakenly putting them on people randomly...these are posts that say they didn't have these in their i their results as well.Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17188584793257056970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4773058005679938889.post-55873960515875172372016-12-08T17:06:44.332-08:002016-12-08T17:06:44.332-08:00Armenia is bordered by Turkey to the west, and Ira...Armenia is bordered by Turkey to the west, and Iran and Azerbaijan's exclave of Nakhchivan to the south. Since 1840 there were Ashkenazi and Mizrahi communities respectively in Yerevan, the capital and largest city of Armenia. During the Ottoman period, the Levantine Armenian communities had diminished in number because of previous conflicts, such as the Mamluk invasion of Cilicia, Tamerlane's invasion of Syria, and so on. <br /><br />This article will explain the Turkish and Iranian: http://www.peopleofar.com/2014/02/17/new-dna-study-shows-armenian-genetic-traces-across-the-world/<br /><br />I hope this helps.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4773058005679938889.post-76517979032903268142016-10-18T22:22:00.525-07:002016-10-18T22:22:00.525-07:00Exactly! 23&me showed 54.7% Korean.

I wouldn't mind if they were closer together. Something is flawed with this site or vice versa. Why such a HUGE gap?

Thank you for alerting us t...Dear AncientPlanter, <br /><br />Thank you for alerting us to this issue. I recall writing back to you about this, but apologize if your e-mail happened to slip through the cracks on our end. It won't happen again. <br /><br />After the launch of our recently updated Ancestry Report, a small number of our users reported receiving exaggerated African percentages. Perhaps this is what occurred with your account? If so, please send us an e-mail at info@dna.land with the e-mail address associated with your DNA.Land account. We are constantly looking to improve our service, and are currently seeking to expand our reference panel for a future Ancestry Report. <br /><br />That being said, it is also very common for results from different services to be somewhat different - especially with smaller percentages of Ancestry. This is why, until very recently, DNA.Land listed all ancestral percentages lower than 5% as "other." <br /><br />Think of your genome as a beam of light. The reference panel of each service’s algorithm acts as a prism that decomposes this beam of light to its potential components. Since each prism has different physical properties, the rainbows they produce will all be at least a little bit different.<br /><br />As each reference panel has its own strengths and caveats, it is best to observe your genomes through as many prisms as you can. Only in this way can you better illuminate your past.<br /><br />Thank you, <br />Richard A. <br />User Engagement Coordinator, DNA.Land<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05199418187960930410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4773058005679938889.post-25418614437514823542016-05-19T08:59:57.288-07:002016-05-19T08:59:57.288-07:00I have uploaded my mother's, father's, and...I have uploaded my mother's, father's, and my own tests from Ancestry to DNA.land. Their results were rather different from Ancestry, especially for me. They have me 19% Italian (my father at 8% Italian) even though the only Italian in the family came over to New Amsterdam in the 1630s and married someone Dutch. DNA.land says I'm 8% African, yet there's no African in either parent's test. They also have me as 1.7% Taiwanese and 1.4% Native Oceanian (Australian Aboriginal) and 6.1% Dravidian. Both of my parents are listed as 100% Western Eurasian, which they are except for the little bit of Native American in my mom. DNA.Land did not pick that up in her, but they did say I'm 1.4% Native American. I'm curious as to how they came up with my heritage being far different from both my parents and far different from other DNA tests I and my parents have taken. No, I'm not adopted, and the tests show that yes, those are my parents. I wrote to DNA.land to ask, but got no reply. Any ideas? Oh, I also put in my mom's test through 23andMe and DNA.land gave somewhat different results from what they gave for her Ancestry test results. <br />AncientPlanterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02764365965536991302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4773058005679938889.post-16192264959713394442016-03-05T10:27:25.888-08:002016-03-05T10:27:25.888-08:00I built some tools to show you how your ancestry c...I built some tools to show you how your ancestry compares to your facebook friends.

Ancestry told me I'm 60 percent European, 22 percent native American, 5 percent from Mali, 2 percent North African, and 9 percent west Asian. I'm assuming the database doesn't have the enough data to see the African and middle eastern. Hopefully as more are uploaded we get a clearer picture.
