My Harappa Project Results

I have been blogging up a storm on Harappa Ancestry Project with more than 50 posts since I last linked to it.

Let’s see what I have found out about myself there. Here are the admixture results for me and my sister:

Me My sister
South Asian 37.9% 34.8%
Balochistan/Caucasus 34.7% 34.2%
Southwest Asian 9.8% 12.3%
European 5.9% 7.2%
Kalash 4.5% 2.3%
East African 3.1% 3.0%
West African 1.4% 1.8%
Siberian 2.4% 1.8%
Papuan 0.2% 1.0%
Northeast Asian 0.2% 0.3%
Southeast Asian 0.0% 1.3%
Eastern Bantu 0.0% 0.0%

You can see the results of all the participants in a spreadsheet or in a nice interactive bar chart. I am HRP0001 and my sister is HRP0035.

Interestingly, both McDonald and 23andme ancestry painting show my sister to have more African admixture than me, but here I have about the same East African as her and even her West African percentage is only a tiny bit higher.

To figure out what these ancestral populations mean, do read the post about the reference population analysis.
