About the test
As a result, Ancient DNA Hub® can go back further and more deeply into the past and reconstruct the global changes in the genetic gene pools with minimal assumptions.
The Ancient Gene Pool Test Series provides ancestral breakdowns from 5 to 50 ancient gene pools! To calculate your ancient ancestry, each test identified small fragments of your autosomal DNA that were retained from ancient cultures and were passed on to you by your ancestors, be it ancient Israelites, Paleoindians, Celts, or Vikings. These markers were carefully selected to inform us of the particular ancient regions and times where your ancestors may have lived. The test then calculates what unique ancestry derived from various geographic regions from different periods and provides them in the desired resolution. This test series covers all the continents throughout the past 17,000 years. The ancient people used to design the test were selected from: 2700+ regions (50 Rare Ancient Gene Pools), 2000+ (40 Ancient Gene Pools), 1500+ (30 Ancient Gene Pools), 1000+ (20 Ancient Gene Pools), and 500+ (10 Ancient Gene Pools).
Because Ancient DNA Hub® relies on ancient DNA, its results will likely differ from the results of other tests. These tests use modern-day people they can inform you who are your modern-day most similar populations, but they cannot be used to investigate your ancient past.
