Based on the genetic breakdown you posted, here's an interpretation of the likely closest ethnicity or population group:




Breakdown:


  1. 28.4% Western Hunter-Gatherer (WHG)
    • These were Mesolithic peoples in Western and Central Europe (e.g., France, Germany, Iberia).
    • Modern populations with higher WHG ancestry: Basques, Northern Europeans, Scandinavians, and parts of British Isles.
  2. 38.5% Caucasus Hunter-Gatherer (CHG)
    • Originated in the Caucasus region (modern-day Georgia, Armenia).
    • CHG ancestry is significant in Eastern Europeans, Iranians, and South Caucasus groups. Also contributes to Yamnaya ancestry which spread into Europe.
  3. 24.4% Anatolian Neolithic Farmer
    • Early agriculturalists from modern-day Turkey.
    • Heavy contribution to early European farmers and Southern Europeans (Italians, Greeks).
    • Prominent in Mediterranean populations.
  4. 8.7% Near East
    • Likely includes components from Levantine and Arabian regions.
    • Common in Middle Easterners, Jews, Arabs, and some Mediterranean groups.



Closest Modern Ethnic Matches (hypothetically):


This kind of mixture most closely resembles Southern European populations with some Eastern and Northern European influence. A few possibilities:


  • Modern Greeks or Southern Italians – due to a strong Anatolian Farmer + Near East + CHG + some WHG.
  • Balkan populations – especially Albanians, Bulgarians, or Macedonians, who often show a blend of CHG, WHG, and Anatolian.
  • Armenians or Georgians – due to high CHG + Near East + some Anatolian.
  • Ashkenazi Jews – often show a blend of European (WHG), Near Eastern, and CHG ancestry.



Summary:
The closest modern ethnic match could be Southern European (Greek/Italian) or Caucasus/Balkan region populations, depending on additional context like recent admixture and maternal/paternal haplogroups.


Would you like to factor in mtDNA/Y-DNA haplogroups or compare with actual GEDmatch/23andMe results too?
