I took a My Heritage DNA test and I got English 53% Azores Islands Portugal 26.4 % Irish Scottish Welsh 8.9 % Scandinavian 7.6 % East European 4.1 % I am from Fort Smith, Arkansas in the USA

[@cowlo9990]

Eastern europeans often get next to regular eastern european high baltic or balkanese. The most balkan populations are of southern slavic descend. Baltic dna is also really common in eastern european, if you look at the indo european migration, there was even a big term for them "balto-slavs" The genetic group of poland and germany speaks of west slavic descend. This dna companies just compare to what your DNA is most similar to, not what it is exactly. If you would take an ancestrydna test now for example, which one of the best companies, you would probably have different results, but they would still stay in this eastern european slavic cluster. Its just not possible to 100% pinpoint where you are from. The meso american is interesting, which could be from a siberian ancestor.

[@janus1958]

When I did my test, it came back as 84.5% Finnish, 13.5% Scandinavian, and 2% Inuit. Finnish was obvious for me, because starting with my grandparents, and going back a a few generations, everyone was born in Finland, in fact, it seems a bit low, as my daughter who would get all her Finnish from me tested as 49.2% Finnish. The 2% Inuit threw me at first, but I now figure that it comes from shared Siberian origins for some Finns and the Inuit.

[@contrarian8870]

Disregard the 2% Meso-American, it's meaningless. In consumer tests values

[@AlexOliveGrove]

Agree

[@rafahammana]

Whaaat?! hahah that Mesoamerican and Andean DNA was mind-blowing! That's really cool! I got 10% of Mesoamerican DNA, but I was born in South America, so it makes sense.

[@igorHagley]

My heritage calculator cannot differentiate Siberians from Meso Americans..

[@autumnphillips151]

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@igorHagley There simply is no Siberian category. It couldn’t give anyone Siberian as a result because it doesn’t have Indigenous Siberian DNA in the database as an option, so it has no choice but to categorize it as something else when someone taking the test happens to have it.

[@igorHagley]

@@autumnphillips151 oh really? But I think they identify Inuit

[@autumnphillips151]

@@igorHagley Yes, they do identify Inuit. Sometimes Siberian DNA seems to show up as that, but Inuits are only from North America, although they’re related to the Yupik, and some Yupik (a very small number of them, though) are from the edge of Siberia that’s right next to Alaska.

[@Pwnagotchi-0]

Me so American are similar to Siberian people, you’re basically just Eastern European I believe

[@YowieChamp]

Those results are awesome! My results are 49.3% Scandinavian, 24.6% Irish, Scottish, and Welsh, 10.7% Baltic, 8.9% Balkan and 6.5% West Asian. Scandinavian was a surprise. 😆

[@astrology_around]

MyHeritage don't know east european and russian minor ethnicities well. For them 100% russian by family history is partly east european partly baltic as it was more then 1000 years ago when slavic and baltic tribes united in one nation. And "native american" must be from your grandfathers side (border with China) - some minor asian russian ethnicity.

[@Cosmicfraud3209]

The meso american is from the siberian and tatar turkic peopls

[@johnsinger1887]

Mesoamerican is confused Siberian. No surprises really , 63% Slavic, 27% Baltic and 6% early Slavic. Cool

You are almost 98% euroepan so whats the big shock I don't get it?

[@geraldbrefka1145]

I am about to truly shock you about your ancient DNA. I took the ancestry DNA test looking for viking and found none. It took me 2 weeks to follow this rumor told by our dark age nobles and found these busts that the Romans have 3000 years ago and my family look like twins of these guys still today and my last name means the eyebrow bridge of the Sarmatians. We were the very first horse people and the only tribe the Romans feared and forced us to be their cavalry. Which forced the daughters to be the warriors and defenders of the tribe. The Amazons didn't marry until the men would return to the tribe, they had arranged marriages. They didn't kill the boys but sent them away to hide from the Romans. They found their tombs 5 years ago and have our DNA. All Slavs have Sarmatian DNA but we Poles have the most we are 50/50 Sarmatian/Slavic. Also we were the tribe the native Americans split from us after we left the tower of Babel. It was the end of the ice age and in Siberia at Lake Baikal is where we split and we both have the ancient DNA from there. But we Slavs don't have their Mongolian DNA.

[@ISTOMINOVA]

Wow, that’s so interesting I can’t even express it! Thank you so much for sharing this, it will definitely dive deeper into all of this!

[@igniscarn19]

Everone from eastern europe have Baltic and Balkan. Dont know why

Balkans have some s euro from Greek and also west Asian too

[@malaxes]

Eastern European/Baltic/Balkan is admixture of all Slavs. I am Polish and I am 52% Baltic, 34% Balkan, 7% Eastern European and 7% Scandinavian

[@Svarog187]

Im Polish too and started to read the old Polish books... they all say way back in pre Ancient times we lived in the Balkans.

[@angeliskarlos6395]

@@Svarog187 What do you mean by "all"? Because as far as I know, this is a very marginal view. The wide consensus is that Slavic people came into the balkans in the early middle ages, around the 6th or maybe 5th century. Also it depends what you mean by we, since linguistics and genetics are two different concepts.

[@Svarog187]

@@angeliskarlos6395 Google "Illyrian Personal Anthoponyms" or "Kjolmen Inscription Bulgaria", that was all Slavic. The oldest Polish, Russian, Czech literally every old Slavic book says they came from the Balkan where they now live.

[@Svarog187]

@@angeliskarlos6395 The Slavic Immigration theory is barely teached at universities anymore, here a Quote by Marion Alinei an Italian "The only evidence for a great migration of Slavs in historical times that traditional scholars can possibly claim lies in a literal reading of the mentions of medieval historians, such as the Thracian Priscus of Panion (5th century), the Greek Procopius of Cesarea (6th century) and the Goth Jordanes (6th century). But it is quite evident that such mentions do not point to an ‘invasion’ or ‘migration’ of Slavs, but can just as simply be taken as to refer to pre-existing Slavs, the presence of which even traditional scholars now admit." Same things say Historian Florin Curta and Anatole Kljosov and so on.

[@Svarog187]

@@angeliskarlos6395 Here the OLDEST Russian origin story ""Over a long period the Slavs settled beside the Danube, where the Hungarian and Bulgarian lands now lie. From among these Slavs, parties scattered throughout the country and were known by appropriate names, according to the places where they settled. Thus some came and settled by the river Morava, and were named Moravians, while others were called Czechs. Among these same Slavs are included the White Croats, the Serbs, and the Carinthians. For when the Vlakhs (Romans) attacked the Danubian Slavs, settled among them, and did them violence, the latter came and made their homes by the Vistula, and were then called Lyakhs. Of these same Lyakhs some were called Polyanians, some Lutichians, some Mazovians, and still others Pomorians"

Wow never heard that before!

[@DoraEmon-xf8br]

These small percentage are actually not real. They add it for some reasons I forgot. Might be a legal thing if I remember well. That’s why you come up with video that shows people that are 70% Slavic, 28˚% Irish and 2% Burmese or stuff like that.

MyHeritage results are simply a joke. I've never seen results of someone that would match their known ethnicity. So where are the people who are 100% of the ethnicities they list? Why defining an Iberian or Scandinavian ethnicity while no one in Spain/Portugal or Scandinavia is even close to 80% of this ethnicity? I've even seen European people who are 2% Nigerian (not Guinean or Sudanese but systematically Nigerian). Big data base issue here.

[@DoraEmon-xf8br]

That’s it. I don’t remember well but as far as I know, there is some kind of legal/moral issue. They add up a small percentage of another far fetched ethnic group so that people can’t say ’’Hey, I’m a hundred percent Hyperborean, let’s Anschluss Europe boyz…‘‘.

[@kaihomieli8226]

Many of us Finns are 100% Finnish in this test. My result was 98,7% Finnish and 1,3 % far east Asian people.

[@autumnphillips151]

Not true. Just today I saw a post from a Norwegian who got 100% Scandinavian on their MyHeritage test. ETA: And, a few hours later, I just saw a post from a Latvian who got 100% Baltic.

[@christhianguedes3455]

Don’t say that, I just bought MH today 😫

[@bastian9693]

This could honestly be said about any DNA testing site out there. Each company will have a unique algorithm to interpret your DNA. 23andMe seems like the best options to go with for Germanic & Scandinavian ethnicities. Plus, it gives you more regions/states. AncestryDNA has become so vague & horribly overlapping, it’s biased towards the British Isles. They are excellent for family trees. If you have limited knowledge on your background all are good starting points, but you should make a family tree. 💁🏼

[@BORN-to-Run]

That's a MISTAKE.

[@AlexOliveGrove]

63% cannot be a mistake. 😁

[@BORN-to-Run]

@@AlexOliveGrove I was saying that 2% Mesoamerican was a mistake. But NOW--10 months later--I believe it is true. This took place way back when there was still a land bridge between Siberia and Alaska. The Siberians freely traveled down the Pacific Ocean coast until they reached the bottom, in what is now Chile. White Eastern Europeans have genetic ties to the indigenous Asian Siberians who also birthed the Mesoamerican native Indians of Mexico and South America. That's my opinion and I was just THINKING IT OUT LOUD. Thanks for responding
