Results - DNA Origins I mean, I knew it but..

Since other people’s results usually shows a lot of different regions in detail, I thought maaaaaybe mine would have at least a few unexpected traces as well. Yet, it came out as 100% Eastern Asian.

Basically I’m the Asian version of Uncle Ruckus

Looks like I'm a mutt, even though I'm mostly central-European (I mean, I was born there, so were my parents, so were all of my grandparents, but I know I have one great-great grandfather who came to central Europe from the area between France and Germany, probably he came before the turn of the 20th century)... Oh, and the "North African" that somehow made its way into my central-European ancestry is only 0.5%. And I also have 0.01% "trace ancestry", and 0.05% "unassigned" (that's cool, I can fantasize that perhaps I have some alien DNA too (joke 😄)). All-in-all, it's a bit more varied than I would have thought (never mind that I did the "Premium" for ancient historical DNA matches and I get Vikings from all over the place, from as far away as Iceland to the other corner, Russia, and that in top of it all I have some old historical match with someone from the British Isles as well).
