Strange how your fitness rate is so low. I think any distance higher than 2.0 - 2.5 is telling that there is something else in the mix, which is not accounted by the ancient samples in their database.

I think that going above 3-3.5 (still undecided about the range) or in G25 vahaduo 0.03-0.035 could mean admix with something else or higher end of what fits in the population. 0.04-0.05 is related but may not fit in the population. here is why I think that:

These modern French individuals score between 0.038-0.051 with the medieval French sample. I was a bit surprised when I saw the numbers. I was expecting 0.015, 0.02, 0.025.

This is what one modern French individual scores against averaged modern samples from France:

I don't think so @qh777
I get on more than a couple calculators distance between 2.0 and 3.0 for Montenegro (results closer to 2), but on most between 3.0 and 4.0, and I definitevely don't have recent Montenegro ancestry.
So I think everything above 2 is a sign of distant other ancestry

this is another reason why I think 3-3.5 or 0.03-0.035 should count as fitting within the population. I asked someone on youtube that made a video on how to use G25 vahaduo and he was saying 0.01-0.03.

Got the notification from Illustrative yesterday that ancient mixed mode Middle Ages (period 4) is ready.
I'll share my top 5 2-way and a couple 3-way results from both kits.

There are new samples that I match added on Illustrativedna. Many are listed in the 2 and 3-way from my previous two posts I'll share my distance to these individual samples. I'm only sharing good (green) to medium fit (orange) matches. I'll repost my to date number one match (green text) for reference.

Stuvanè, i am curious about your bronze and iron age mixed result. Can you show them?

@Stefano

Here are the remaining oracles.

Frankly - apart from the one dedicated to the Middle Ages - I appreciate more the one on the 2 way Bronze Age (it can give a rough indication of the Neolithic and Steppic components) and the 2/3 way on the Roman Age.

I don't consider the Iron Age one realistic.

Stuvane are you from central Italy?

@qh777
Not really.
Let's say more correctly northern-central Italy (Romagna and eastern Emilia: mainly Rimini/Forlì + Ferrara)
 
Thank you Stuvanè. Mine are pretty similar.

I don't think that the Iron Age ones are too bad, actually, maybe a bit compressed but a good synthesis of northern italian.
Probably in a 2 way model the early italic, etruscan and germanic are all lumped in continental celtic and the greek and imperial roman in the other half.

That may be, but my very strong doubt is that autosomal estimate determined by c. 50% Celt and c. 50% Greek and/or Anatolian and/or Levant. However much the Roman Empire created the conditions for the influx of people from the eastern Mediterranean, I don't believe that Italians in general but especially North Italians can be shaped by a simple combination of continental Celts/Germans + Greeks and/or Levantines. The picture is too simplistic and does not take into account the previous indigenous population, which I don't think has been erased.
Without forgetting that the G25 - what is behind these oracles - has sometimes sampled with questionable criteria, or even bypassed the sampling of certain populations (including, for example, Emilia-Romagna where I come from). And at that point strange averages are created

Emilia-Romagna is shamefully neglected in these G25 studies.

Is Emilia genetically more like Liguria in NW Italy while Romagna is more towards Marche in central Italy?

@Vallicanus Correct. And this is also evident from the single mode oracle for the current populations, among the tools in the Illustrative DNA itself
