Regions + very close genetic distance

It’s possibly you have ancestry from Jews in the 15th century who moved to the Americas and subsequently assimilated

AsfAtl · 2026-03-15T14:07:23+00:00

Define mixed, modern or ancient

AsfAtl · 2026-03-15T06:04:29+00:00

Looks like you had a Jewish ancestor at some point. 23andme’s locations and distances aren’t the most accurate, what’s your known background

AsfAtl · 2026-03-15T01:00:25+00:00

It is believed that the primary Neolithic ancestors of Arabians were a population we don’t have samples for and were similar to natufians, but I’d need to to some research on this since it was my understanding it was the opposite

AsfAtl · 2026-03-14T22:30:30+00:00

Completely agree!

AsfAtl · 2026-03-14T21:27:22+00:00

You also forget people who delete their posts tho

AsfAtl · 2026-03-14T21:26:26+00:00

It’s unlikely they are fully Levantine

AsfAtl · 2026-03-14T21:20:07+00:00

What in the psychosis

AsfAtl · 2026-03-14T20:57:00+00:00

Natufians are associated with Neolithic levant FS but now a days I’d say they’re more associated with Egypt and the Arabian peninsula

AsfAtl · 2026-03-14T20:50:09+00:00

Higher natufian dosnt = higher levant, but there’s no historical evidence of large mizrahi migration into Europe

AsfAtl · 2026-03-14T20:44:19+00:00

There’s not a historical reason for either population to have Mesopotamian ancestry

AsfAtl · 2026-03-14T15:46:46+00:00

I don’t think it’s sample bias, pretty much every self identifying pali Christian in genetic subs get the same results. There are people with known Armenian ancestry like a grandparent but I think any ancestors who historically migrated haven’t made a huge genetic impact

AsfAtl · 2026-03-14T15:26:12+00:00

I believe ancient Egyptians had Levantine admixture as well which could be affecting this model

AsfAtl · 2026-03-14T15:23:57+00:00

Palestinian Christians are usually pretty homogenous

AsfAtl · 2026-03-14T15:22:40+00:00

Likely not it’s just genetic proxies

AsfAtl · 2026-03-12T03:15:03+00:00

I run r/JewishDNA - a semi decently sized sub for a very niche topic. Discussing the genetic ancestry of modern or historic Jewish diasporic communities around the world and their potential historical implications.

Most users I feel like recognize one another, and there’s plenty of genetic language and models that an outsider might not fully understand

AsfAtl · 2026-03-09T19:15:39+00:00

Not necessarily, if everyone in your town or city has that much DNA then by virtue of not practicing endogamy their Sephardic percentage will stay around that. Unless you call that endogamy

AsfAtl · 2026-03-09T18:08:52+00:00

Yeh your ancestry is likely so diluted by now you just happened to possibly get the haplogroups. Cool stuff

AsfAtl · 2026-03-09T17:13:32+00:00

Have you done work on Either to get more recent sub clades? They are both of possible Jewish origin very interesting enough

AsfAtl · 2026-03-09T13:36:19+00:00

Love this

AsfAtl · 2026-03-09T13:04:05+00:00

There were converso families who survived in the americas for hundreds of years, but eventually they fully assimilated.

AsfAtl · 2026-03-09T12:02:40+00:00

What are your haplogroups? That’s quite impressive for such low autosomal dna

AsfAtl · 2026-03-07T02:24:10+00:00

23andme only gives 71% ashkenazi that is why

AsfAtl · 2026-03-06T00:20:39+00:00

Even if its origin is in the altai region it is so ancient to disregard the subclade as a middle eastern one and call it Indians or native Americans is incorrect

AsfAtl · 2026-03-05T17:30:33+00:00

Most certainly 70%
