I'm new to ancestry stuff, can someone please explain to me my results and if they are in the normal range for my ethnicity as I have almost a 3 point distance from my sample to the average Somali sample. Also I'm a bit confused about my haplogroups, my male haplogroup is EV32 which is Somali but my female haplogroup is K1a12a and I'm not sure where its from.
do you know anything about my female haplogroup?
It’s called maternal haplogroup, your maternal haplogroup
K1a12a is a specific sub-clade, or branch, of the human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroup K. It's a genetic lineage passed down through the maternal line. This haplogroup is found within the broader K haplogroup, which is known to have originated in West Asia.
Full Landheere elite mix, you just wasted 100 bucks on this test, you were better off sending it back home
K1a is from the neolithic middle east. The oldest tested pastorlist in Kenya (4000 years old) also had K1a.
It's rare maternal lineage (~2% of Somalis have it) but it's still deeply rooted

92.8% for Bronze age SPN is the highest i have seen so far, your probably the purest somali so far, Mashallah.
thanks man, what is the normal range for spn for the average somali?
Illustrative is trash, get your cords on vahaduo g25 for more in depth look/comparison
I am not sure as well, we need more people to share their results to have a better understanding. illustrative is wild but useful at the same time, especially when looking at your location on the pcn graph. I prefer G25 Vahaduo and GEDmatch.
When i exclude my result for Bronze age SPN i saw ranges from 70% to 84%. The recent update was not a good one cause it allocates high Sub Saharan African percentage, some got 20% and above but your results has low sub Saharan. Check this thread
