I just received mine today
I've never, ever seen results like that for a southern Italian from 23andme. I've never seen anyone get 100% southern European, either.
I wonder if it has something to do with the V5 chip? Do you know any other southern Italians who have been tested using the V5 chip?
The "West Asian" percentages southern Italians usually get are also gone. Do you know if the algorithm was changed for the V5 chip, or the "centrum" or reference samples for "Italian"? I wonder if they moved it to southern Italy.
Oh, I think the 35% "Balkan" might make some sense, given that all your ancestry is from Puglia.
That's it, I'm going to "waste" the money and retest on the V5 and see how it compares.

Salento, you should retake the test too to see how it compares. Not that I like telling people how to spend their moneyThis is from v4 Chip, also from Puglia:
I’m going to use your V5 chip as a reference. If a take the new Test it might be similar to Yours. [emoji2]Salento, you should retake the test too to see how it compares. Not that I like telling people how to spend their money : )

I also think you should come out like jovialis, are you from the same area?
Would be nice if results from this new version can be used for the new ancient calculator . Thats pretty much the only calculator I'm willing to try!

That's not what I meant! I meant "come out" as in "score", I used it interchangeably with that word and wasn't in any way shape or form implying that being from southern Italy is like being a closet homosexual! What led you to this idea?Come out? Like being from Southern Italy is like being a closet homosexual?
I've never known a Sicilian, for example, not to say he was a Sicilian. It's usually the first thing they tell you.
I don't know where you get some of this stuff.

Thanks, but I didn't use it inappropriately, take a look at 1.3:Davef, maybe you used the phrase inappropriately. That's fine, no problem, but you can't deny that's how that term is used. You know, as in Kevin Spacey "coming out" as a homosexual. Why he thinks it was news to anyone is a different story.
I would think that to elicit the information in which you were interested you'd just say, "Where did your ancestors in Italy come from?"
It made it sound as if it were something of which to be ashamed, or something which had previously been hidden. If that's not what you meant, again, fine.
23andMe got back to me with an answer to our question.
@Dibran
Not sure, but right now they have a good sale on the dna kit ($49 for 2 or more)
