Chapter I

The Story of Iberia

Long before Rome, before Carthage, before the written word reached these shores, humans had already called this land home for millennia.

The first Iberians were Mesolithic hunter-gatherers, roaming the valleys of what is now Spain and Portugal, leaving their handprints on cave walls at Altamira and El Castillo.

They were joined by Neolithic farmers who brought agriculture and megalithic traditions, building the great dolmens of Antequera. Then came the Bell Beaker people, master metallurgists and traders who spread their distinctive pottery and bronze-working techniques across Europe.

The Bronze Age brought El Argar in the southeast, one of the earliest urban cultures of Western Europe. The Iron Age saw Celtiberians, Tartessians, and Iberians rise across the peninsula before Rome claimed Hispania.

The stones remember. The blood remembers. The story continues in you.

Mesolithic

10,000-5,000 BCE

Hunter-gatherers who painted caves and shaped the first Iberian identity.

Bell Beaker

2,800-1,800 BCE

Master traders and metallurgists whose vessels became a European signature.

Bronze Age

2,200-800 BCE

El Argar civilization, early urban centers, and sophisticated bronze-working.

Iron Age

800-200 BCE

Celtiberians, Tartessians, and Iberians before the Roman horizon.

Roman & Medieval

200 BCE-1000 CE

Roman Hispania, Visigothic kingdoms, and the foundations of modern Iberia.

What You'll Discover

This is not a list of percentages. This is a journey into the ancient stories your DNA connects to.

Most Distinguishing Analysis

DNA Segment Matching

We scan your autosomal DNA in short segments and compare each one against every ancient Iberian genome using identical-by-state (IBS) segment matching, weighting longer, rarer shared segments more heavily.

Your Ancient Iberian Index

A panel-specific statistical similarity score weighting shared-segment evidence at 50%, ADMIXTURE distance at 31.25%, and Monte Carlo fit at 18.75%; it is not an ancestry percentage.

Reference-fixed PCA Projection

The fixed Iberian ADMIXTURE reference panel defines stable PCA axes; your kit is projected afterward without moving the reference samples.

Most Distinguishing Analysis

DNA Segment Matching

We scan your autosomal DNA in short segments and compare each one against every ancient Iberian genome using identical-by-state (IBS) segment matching, weighting longer, rarer shared segments more heavily.

ADMIXTURE Analysis

Advanced ADMIXTURE algorithms compare your genetic profile against reference populations across ancestral components with high resolution for Iberian similarity analysis.

No. A genetic match reflects genetic similarity to that ancient individual's reference profile, not proof of direct descent. Shared segments and haplogroup matches indicate a shared lineage branch or population-level affinity, not a documented family tree connection to a specific person.
Yes. The report traces Iberian genetic history from the Iron Age Celtiberians, Tartessians, and Iberians through Roman Hispania and the Visigothic kingdoms that followed, quantifying your genetic affinity to each cultural period along the way.

Reading ancient and modern DNA since 2018

DNA Genics has been building ancestry and DNA analysis reports since 2018. Our reports come from years of work with our own reference panels, calculators and ancient-genome comparisons, developed and reviewed by our team. They are not generated on the fly or assembled as a side project. We use AI only in clearly labelled optional features.
