Dr. Elhaik has been very helpful in my journey to discovering individuals I have a genetic similarity to. For this test, I found that I had an average 41% genetic similarity to the Ethiopean Hunters of the Mota Cave. Truthfully, I love the fact that there are several other Ancient African cultures on this website. All in all, I found this test to be very insightful and would recommend this test to anyone seeking to learn more about ancient cultures and how connected one is to it.

I dreamed of women warriors on horseback from a very young age, onward. My love of horses was always intense. Imagine my joy when I looked at Scythian and Amazon cultures: Ukraine Scythians and I found the myths I'd read of Amazon women warriors...only these were real....wonderful gift when day dreaming actually turns out to be true!

When I found out I have DNA from Ethiopean ancient ancestors? I gasped. I had been writing a novel that concerned a global organization over in Ethiopia to bring in better agricultural and education opportunities for the children of this country. My heart swells with joy that somehow, my ancient Ethiopean DNA whispered across time and space for me to write that book...and I've just finished it! Just an amazing synchronicity!

Even as a little girl, I was mesmerized by books and magazines with Minoan, Geek paintings. They were mystical, magical and I ached to have lived back then :-). Imagine my surprise when it showed up in my DNA! It brings a little girls day dreams to real life. Wonderful!

I found a very high percentage with this empire I had no idea existed. Now? What this has done has spurred my apatite to dig a lot deeper because my DNA demands it. What a surprise! I have so many questions and now, I'm on a trek to find out more.

Your gene pool results for me are extraordinary.
I’ve followed Dr. Eran Elhaik works for years, and found them to be innovative and convincing. but, I would like to know more about the methodology used here. How many “Ancient Ancestry Informative Markers” were used? How do you calculate the overall percent ancestry?
Thank you, E. Shoup

FAQ

  • Q: What do Ancient DNA Origins offer?

    A: Ancient DNA Origins offers the first and only genetic tests that employ ancient DNA from real ancient people, ranging from the Paleolithic to the mid-19th century. Our tests report your genetic relationships with ancient individuals and cultures from all over the world, like Paleolithic Americans, Icelandic Vikings, or the legendary Tribes of the Biblical Israelites (before their exile).

  • Q: How is Ancient DNA Origins different from other DNA testing providers?

    A: Providers will typically compare your DNA to the DNA of modern people, such as yourself. They cannot teach you about the ancient past. We provide a comprehensive collection of cultures and report your genetic identity at the level of ancient individuals. We also provide genetic, historical, and archeological information about ancient people and cultures at low-cost prices.

  • Q: I am a genealogist. How can I use Ancient DNA Origins for genetic genealogy?

    A: With our tests, you will go far beyond the inventions of photography and paper and discover new connections with ancient people that, thus far, existed only in stories and legends.

  • Q: How accurate are your tests?

    A: Our tests are developed in collaboration with top geneticists like Dr. Eran Elhaik, who has been developing genetic tests for two decades during his tenure at Johns Hopkins University. Dr. Elhaik designed the GenoChip 2.0 kit and test for National Geographic, the GPS Origins kit and test for HomeDNA, and a plethora of tests for Gene Plaza. His Ancient DNA Origins test series is the first to combine paleogenetics and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to achieve an accuracy of 95%.
