Ancient European Origins Page
The Ancient European Origins page displays the percentages of autosomal DNA that you still carry from the three ancient European groups and also the percentage of your autosomal DNA that is considered non-European.
Important: It is possible that Metal Age Invaders, Farmers, and Hunter-Gatherers influenced groups in other parts of the world. For this reason, your ancient non-European percentage might be 0%, while your myOrigins® ethnic makeup contains percentages for populations outside of Europe.
For more information on a particular ancient European group or the non-European group, click on the corresponding graphic at the top of the page. You will be redirected to the interactive ancientOrigins page.

ancientOrigins Map
The ancientOrigins map is an interactive page that provides information about each ancient group, group migration routes, and information pertaining to the archaeological dig sites from which ancient autosomal DNA information was obtained.
Depending on how you navigate to this page, the page is displayed differently.
If you click on one of the groups at the top of the Ancient European Origins page (where your percentages are listed): the ancientOrigins page is opened displaying information about that group on the slide-out menu on the left. On the right of the page, a map of Europe is shown displaying the group's migration route. The brown shovel icons on the page represent the different archaeological dig sites in Europe.
If you click on the map at the bottom of the Ancient European Origins page: the ancientOrigins page displays a map of Europe. The brown shovel icons on the map represent the different archaeological dig sites. On the left sidebar, the different ancient groups are displayed along with your relation percentages.
