Hello everyone! I just got my Ancestry DNA results back and there are some interesting things I found out. My [COLOR=#009900 !important]friend[/COLOR] who is Russian took the same test so we could compare the results between myself (a Serb) and herself (a Russian). Ancestry uses autosomal SNPs as the base for population comparison as opposed to Y or Mt-DNA. Let's begin. First I will show you her Russian results:
- 97% [COLOR=#009900 !important]Eastern European[/COLOR]
- 3% [COLOR=#009900 !important]Baltic[/COLOR]
Now I will show you my Serbian results:
-62% Eastern European
-30% Italian/Greek
-4% European Jew
-4% Caucasian
As you can see, based on the autosomal DNA comparison, I share a substantial portion of my DNA with the Russian sample. I am wondering whether it can be inferred from this result that Serbs like myself are 2/3 slavic and 1/3 indigenous [COLOR=#009900 !important]Balkan[/COLOR], making us [COLOR=#009900 !important]genetically[/COLOR] speaking a mostly slavic people.
