Face of a 75,000-year-old Neanderthal woman revealed by scientists

38. It's from GedMatch. It's DNA markers and what modern populations the DNA matches with.

Sort of a past time I have
It's not where the person has been. It's how it matches with living populations.

Here is a partial list of ancient DNA samples


You select a kit and put it in a calculator
There are about five Neanderthals on the list:


Here are my DNA results


Here is my Oracle
It's pretty accurate: I'm 1/2 Armenian and 1/2 Mostly British Isles..

Keep in mind admixtures are estimates. It's saying based on the Eurogene calculator, I am most like this populations. The 2.1 is accuracy. The smaller the number, the closer the match.
There are numerous calculators on GedMatch and results each vary slightly.



Here is the Oracle for the Neanderthal:


All of the Neanderthals are primarily African. I find it very interesting.
You can run all the ancient DNA samples. It's fun! I can also run the DNA of any kit number.

Here is a relative who is 100% Armenian


Admixture is not 100% accurate. However, the fact that all the Neanderthals are mostly Sub-saharan African (SSA) in their admixtures, indicates that genetically, they were mostly Sub-saharan African with some North East African. However, admixture does not equal appearance. They may have been SSA, but their features may have changed due to adaptation to cold climate.

Lots of modern people carry traces from other continents of which they have no connection with. So small percentages are quite common. Lots of my matches are like 1% SSA or 1% South Asian. 1% Oceanic is also common. So is !-2% NA, with Eastern Europeans.

I'm in a FB Group and that's what we do!

Oh and the Doe DNA Project uses GedMatch. They are volunteers and some of their work is shared publicly. Here is their spreadsheet:
