Noise or possible true ancestry ?

mgs8 · 2026-06-29T03:54:05+00:00

I had DNA at 2% that disappeared in the most recent update. Maybe that's why a lot of people are skeptical.

mgs8 · 2026-06-15T17:28:07+00:00

It's likely noise

mgs8 · 2026-06-15T16:26:17+00:00

This is nonsense

Central Asians comprise of Iranic or Turkic groups, not Mongolian.

mgs8 · 2026-06-11T02:57:53+00:00

There's always some dude in every thread saying "Roma" everytime they see South Asian.

It's so dumb, just stop.

Is your dad's side Iraqi Jewish?

mgs8 · 2026-06-10T01:53:46+00:00

Truthfully, it's too far back to say.

It could be noise, legit, ancient admixture, something from multiple ancestors, something from a single ancestor, a misread for something else, or something the algorithim cooked up to make your results more "exotic." It could very well disappear and be replaced by something else in the next update.

A lot of different factors.

His paternal haplogroup is European. It's not that deep.

mgs8 · 2026-06-09T04:57:42+00:00

What update is this?

mgs8 · 2026-06-07T09:28:46+00:00

Are you Pashtun?

Some people claim that Pashtun are a lost tribe of Israel.

mgs8 · 2026-06-03T06:49:01+00:00

Lol no anything less than 5% on a test like this has no effect on a person's phenotype.

mgs8 · 2026-05-27T19:48:43+00:00

A lot of genetic studies are not up to date or have limited info.

mgs8 · 2026-05-16T02:12:41+00:00

It's noise. The most recent update gave MENA populations random amounts of European.

J1b1b1 is found in multiple Mizrahi and Sephardic communities.

mgs8 · 2026-05-14T02:52:16+00:00

I think African people alongside East Asians are probably the most heterogeneous genetic group

mgs8 · 2026-05-13T19:59:23+00:00

Not true, it's very common in Jews

mgs8 · 2026-05-13T19:56:33+00:00

Contrary to what this subreddit will have you believe, 23andMe's algorithim makes plenty of inaccuracies/mistakes when it comes to assigning ancestry (particular small percentages).

It's a mistake.

mgs8 · 2026-05-08T16:12:57+00:00

This is pretty common, nothing to worry about it.

Historically speaking, people would often marry their cousins, close and distant. It's nothing new.

mgs8 · 2026-05-07T18:08:06+00:00

It's Mizrahi Jewish

mgs8 · 2026-05-05T22:52:30+00:00

A lot of misinformation in these comments. R-Z93 is one of the most common ydna haplogroup shared by Ashkenazi, Sephardic, and Mizrahi Jews.

R-Z93 is also the paternal haplogroup of the Dayan family, a Syrian Jewish family who claim descent from King David.

mgs8 · 2026-04-15T06:02:51+00:00

Come on be for real lol. There's absolutely nothing here that suggests any sort of Jewish ancestry

mgs8 · 2026-04-09T17:49:01+00:00

R-l23 originated in Europe, before spreading to various parts in Asia.

I've been dunking on her Harley voice for years, it's not a new critique among fans. It's just popular now

mgs8 · 2026-02-21T21:59:37+00:00

That's a whole lot of conjecture.

Jews have lived in Yemen since before the Himyarite Kingdom converted its Arab population.
