A guided sample ancestry report

Explore the story, proportions, statistical fit, and caveats you can expect from an Ancestrify qpAdm report—using realistic but entirely fabricated data.

Executive summary

Sample profile at a glance

Sample profile A-1042 is compatible with a four-source model led by Aegean Bronze Age ancestry, followed by western steppe, Anatolian farmer, and Caucasus hunter-gatherer-related sources. The strongest continuity appears in southeast Europe, while the timeline shows how older ancestral layers recombine in later periods.

Steppe ancestry arrives and recombines

Compatible model

This model shows a strong Aegean farmer-related base alongside ancestry associated with western steppe pastoralists and a smaller Caucasus-related signal.

The ± values are standard errors: an honest view of how much each estimate can move within this model. Era models are independent and should not be added together.

Geography & storytelling

See the result in context

Completed reports connect the statistical model to geography and turn the era-by-era story into an optional, shareable ancestry film.

Static geography preview

Where this sample model points

The profile’s strongest signal sits around the Aegean and Adriatic, with deeper ancestral links extending toward the Pontic–Caspian Steppe, Anatolia, and the Caucasus. The map is contextual—not a claim that ancestors lived at a precise pin.

Confidence, not certainty

How well does this model fit?

qpAdm tests whether the proposed sources are statistically compatible with the sample and outgroups. Here, a p-value of 0.184 is above the 0.05 rejection threshold, so the model is not rejected by the test.

That does not prove this is the only—or “true”—historical explanation. It means the model is a plausible fit worth interpreting alongside archaeology, geography, standard errors, and alternative models.

Methodology

From DNA file to an interpretable model

Step 1

Compare

Your autosomal DNA is compared with curated, quality-controlled ancient reference samples grouped by date and archaeological context.

Step 2

Test

Candidate source combinations are tested with qpAdm. Models that fail statistical checks are rejected rather than forced into a neat answer.

Step 3

Interpret

Compatible models are presented by era with proportions, standard errors, fit statistics, and context so you can see both the signal and its limits.

Important caveats

Ancient populations are analytical proxies, not modern ethnic labels.
Results depend on the available reference samples and their coverage.
Several different models can be statistically compatible with the same DNA.
