Understanding Your Ancient British Islands Heritage

Explore the rich history of the British Isles

Geographic Scope

This report analyzes your genetic connections to ancient populations from:

England - From Mesolithic to Medieval periods
Scotland - Including Orkney, Shetland, Skye, and the Highlands
Ireland - Neolithic farmers to Viking settlers
Wales - Iron Age and Bronze Age populations
Channel Islands - Neolithic through Iron Age
Isle of Man - Bronze Age and Viking periods

Methodology

Your Ancient British Islands Index is calculated using four complementary methods:

Shared Segments (IBD) - Direct identity-by-descent DNA links, weighted at 40% of the composite index
ADMIXTURE Distance Analysis - Measures genetic proximity using ancestral components
UMAP k-NN Score - Non-linear clustering analysis for population structure
Monte Carlo Fitting - Statistical modeling of ancestral population mixtures
