Preparing your genetic-similarity report
Archaeological Cultures
How genetically similar you are to reference individuals associated with archaeological cultures. A culture is a set of shared material remains (pottery, burials, tools), not a people or a family line.
Central Asia connects Steppe, mountain, and oasis populations across a long history of migration and exchange.
Cultural affinities
Affinity scores run from 0 to 100 and compare similarity; they are not shares of your ancestry. Select a culture for details.
Archaeological sites
Excavation sites associated with the individuals in this report.
How cultural affinity is estimated
Each score summarises how closely your genetic profile resembles the ancient reference individuals assigned to that culture in the reference panel. A high score indicates statistical similarity to those individuals. It does not show that you descend from the culture or from any specific person buried at these sites.
