Your ancestry, mapped by era

Follow your DNA through Mesolithic Age, Neolithic Age, Bronze Age, Iron Age, Late Antiquity, and the Middle Ages — each period draws on its own curated population pool.

Hunter-Gatherer & Farmer
Through the ages

Hunter-Gatherer & Farmer

Pre-history

The deepest layer of your ancestry — signatures from the foraging bands, pioneer farmers, and steppe pastoralists who shaped the human population map before written history.

Find your closest matches

Position your DNA against curated ancient population groups, over 600 modern populations, and a growing library of notable historical individuals

Ancient

Curated archaeogenetic samples

Compare your DNA against carefully grouped ancient populations from Bronze Age civilizations to medieval kingdoms and see which historical groups your genome is closest to. Distances are computed against the same coordinate system the rest of DeepAncestry uses.

Let the algorithm roll

Gain more insights into your genetic profile with the top 50 best-fitting admixture combinations.

Unsupervised Analysis

Two & Three-way combinations

Brute-force fit against curated population sets

Pick a period, pick a combination size, and Unsupervised Analysis enumerates the top-ranked mixtures of both ancient and modern populations whose averaged coordinates best reproduce your DNA. Each ranked card spells out the three components and the percentage each one contributes to that fit.

Cluster Analysis

Two lenses on where your DNA lands

PCA places your kit on a 2-D plot of thousands of reference populations; Hierarchical Cluster groups those populations into a tree by genetic distance. Together they show where you sit — and who you sit with.

PCA Plots
Examples
Hierarchical Cluster
Examples

PCA reduces each kit to two coordinates and plots it against a backdrop of thousands of populations. Hierarchical clustering then takes those same populations and builds a tree of similarity — neighbouring branches are populations whose DNA clusters tightly together.

DNA Encyclopedia

The most complete archaeogenetic reference, in one place.

A living library covering every published ancient sample and modern reference population — sourced from the literature, kept current with every new study.

Browse by region, era, or culture. Learn about their genetic profiles and their genetic similarity to you.

  • Most up-to-date ancient & modern DNA database
  • The ultimate archaeogenetics & population genetics reference
  • Continuously expanded as new samples are published

How It Works?

A PCA scatter plot of ancient and modern individuals with your position marked.

Step 1.

Your raw genetic data will be processed and projected onto a PCA-based data space comprising thousands of ancient and modern individuals

Step 2.

We extract your coordinates that represent your genetic position in the PCA space

Step 3.

We use those coordinates to utilize a series of analysis (see below) and convey your results
