Admixture Calculator

GedrosiaDNA Iran Neolithic K6

**GedrosiaDNA Iran Neolithic K6** — An ancient-era admixture profile that estimates six ancestral components with emphasis on **Iran Neolithic** influence. Ideal for genetic historians, researchers, and enthusiasts, it reveals proportions of Iran Neolithic, Natufian, WHG, Ancestral South Eurasian, East Asian, and Sub‑Saharan African ancestry to contextualize deep-time population history.

About This Calculator

**GedrosiaDNA Iran Neolithic K6 — Ancient-era admixture calculator** This calculator estimates ancestry proportions using a six-component model tailored to highlight signals related to Iran Neolithic and neighbouring ancient populations. It compares your genome (or dataset) against six reference sources: **Ancestral South Eurasian, East Asian, Iran Neolithic, Natufian, Western Hunter‑Gatherer (WHG)** and **Sub‑Saharan Africa** to reconstruct likely deep ancestry contributions across Eurasia and beyond. Who it's for - Genetic historians, population geneticists, and informed hobbyists - Genealogy enthusiasts curious about deep-time ancestry - Researchers seeking a compact, interpretable ancient-focused admixture profile What it analyzes - Proportional contributions from each of the six ancient reference populations (K6) - Relative affinity to Neolithic Iran versus Levantine (Natufian), European hunter‑gatherers (WHG), eastern and southern Eurasian lineages, and recent African admixture - Patterns consistent with known migrations and admixture events in the Neolithic and earlier Historical & genetic context The model emphasizes the Iran Neolithic component — a major source for farming expansions and later movements into South Asia and parts of the Near East. Natufian represents Levantine pre‑farming ancestry, WHG captures European hunter‑gatherer heritage, while Ancestral South Eurasian and East Asian components reflect deep southern and eastern Eurasian lineages. The Sub‑Saharan Africa fraction highlights episodes of African gene flow into adjacent regions. Why this calculator is valuable - Offers a focused, easily interpretable snapshot of ancient ancestries with particular resolution for Iran Neolithic influence - Useful for hypothesis generation, regional comparison, and studying broad-scale population structure Caveats - Results are model‑dependent and reference‑dependent; proportions are estimates, not precise historical certainties - Best used alongsi

Reference Populations

The populations used as genetic references in this calculator

6 Reference Populations

Ancestral South Eurasian
- Populations: Indigenous groups from South Asia, reflecting ancient genetic ancestry distinct from those in the surrounding regions.
East Asian
- Populations: Comprises ethnic groups primarily from East Asia, including Chinese, Japanese, and Koreans.
Iran Neolithic
- Populations: Early agricultural societies from the Iranian plateau, representing the transition from hunter-gatherer to farming communities.
Natufian
- Populations: Prehistoric communities from the Levant, significant for their role in the shift from nomadic to sedentary lifestyles around 12,000 years ago.
Western Hunter-Gatherer (WHG)
- Populations: Early European hunter-gatherers inhabiting the region during the Mesolithic period.
Sub-Saharan Africa
- Populations: Various ethnic groups located in Africa south of the Sahara Desert, known for their diverse cultures and languages.

Understanding Admixture Analysis

Learn how admixture calculators work and how to interpret your results

What is Admixture Analysis?

Admixture analysis is a method used to estimate your genetic ancestry by comparing your DNA to reference populations from around the world. Think of it as creating a recipe of your genetic makeup, where the ingredients are different ancestral populations.

This calculator uses 6 carefully selected ancient populations as references, allowing for a detailed breakdown of your genetic heritage.

How It Works

Your DNA is compared to 6 reference populations
Ancient populations are used as genetic references
Results show your genetic similarity to these populations
More accurate with a diverse reference panel

Understanding Your Results

Your results will show percentages of genetic similarity to these reference populations. Remember these important points:

Results reflect genetic similarity, not direct ancestry
Ancient populations are used as references
Percentages indicate relative genetic contribution
Results are estimates based on available reference data
