WHAT YOUR RESULTS MEAN: Northwestern Europe 12%
1.
This region of Northern Europe is a biogeographical
composite of populations that include British, Scottish,
Irish, Welsh, Northern French, Belgians, Dutch, Danish, and
some Scandinavian and German groups. So, much more
than an established historical population, it is a
prehistorical region characterized early on by a long
period of glaciation, with episodic habitation by hunter-
gatherer groups migrating from the south and east. With
the advent of agriculture and the spread of plant
domestication some 8,000 to 6,000 years ago, the people
of Northwestern Europe grew from the mix of the early
settlers and new farmers. Over the last 4,000 years, the
region became subdivided into the ethnic and political
entities we now know. This biogeographical region is seen
in many people of European ancestry, as well as most
people living in the U.S., Canada and Australia today. It
is also seen in small percentages in groups from Latin
America, as well as in countries that were part of the British
Empire of the 18th and 19th centuries.

WHAT YOUR RESULTS MEAN: Western Africa 28%
1.
The West African component of your DNA has roots that
are likely 100,000 years old, spanning most of the western
regions of Sub-Saharan Africa. African Americans, as well
as other African Diaspora groups, share this lineage. The
split between this cluster and the hunter-gatherers of the
Central and Southern African forests and deserts dates
Back to the “Out of Africa” event more than 60,000 years
Ago. In more recent times, farming began in Nigeria and
quickly expanded east, south, and then southeast. Within
the last 2,000 years, Bantu farmers with origins in West
Africa spread throughout Africa. A mixture of resident
populations, this cluster spread with the historic Muslim
expansion from the Middle East and the New World slave
trade. Today, this ancestry is seen in people with West
African roots, including Senegalese, Ghanaians, Liberian,
Guinean, and Nigerians, as well as people with more
Saharan ancestry, such as those from Mali, Mauritania,
Burkina Faso, Niger and Chad. Throughout the western
world, African-Americans, Afro-Caribbeans, and Afro-
Brazilians also carry this genetic fingerprint in high numbers.
