Mesolithic · Spain
5991.0 BCE - 5731.0 BCELong 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.
Hunter-gatherers who painted caves and shaped the first Iberian identity.
Master traders and metallurgists whose vessels became a European signature.
El Argar civilization, early urban centers, and sophisticated bronze-working.
Celtiberians, Tartessians, and Iberians before the Roman horizon.
Roman Hispania, Visigothic kingdoms, and the foundations of modern Iberia.
This is not a list of percentages. This is a journey into the ancient stories your DNA connects to.
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.
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.
The fixed Iberian ADMIXTURE reference panel defines stable PCA axes; your kit is projected afterward without moving the reference samples.
See the exact archaeological sites where your genetic kin lived and died: real places across Spain, Portugal, the Canary Islands, and Gibraltar.

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.

Real, verified reviews from people who have explored their genetic similarity with DNAGENICS
Great reports like the "Human Leukocyte Antigen" Report. The Deep Ancient Reports with Samples are very helpful to understand the Results and own Heritage. I like the Admixture Studio and the powerful G25 Studio.
DNAGenics is an excellent company. It provides necessary services for those of us who need help understanding and working with complex genetic information. They are efficient in their communications. I recommend them without hesitation.
Excellent company with helpful customer support that always respond very quickly. There are always new features and the purchase packs include a lot of admixture reports and G25 coordinates. Highly recommend.
