My chromosomes can be shown to be in common with the pool of individuals of specific geographic regions who have been tested. In theory, my genetic makeup should be 75% Western European–mother (50%) and my father’s mother (25%). However, it is only 45% which means that my English mother and Scottish grandmother would have some explaining to do, were they still alive.<\/p>\n
Since our narrow current quest is to explain my “orphan” grandfather, I have extracted all Western European from the admixtures calculated from each chromosome, and dubbed the residual to be 100%. The non-Western European contributions distribute themselves as follows, although the weighting in each chromosome varies significantly. I will add that table when I can get it to present clearly here.<\/p>\n
Removing 100% of Western Europe
\nNew Weighting\t\t<\/p>\n
East_European\t\t29.6%
\nWest_European
\nMediterranean\t\t44%
\nNeo_African\t\t0.2%
\nWest_Asian\t\t11.3%
\nSouth_Asian\t\t2.3%
\nNortheast_Asian\t\t1.0%
\nSoutheast_Asian\t\t0.7%
\nEast_African\t\t0.5%
\nSouthwest_Asian\t\t6.7%
\nNorthwest_African\t\t3.5%
\nPalaeo_African\t\t0.4%
