What do the percentages mean in the region and era match sections? (Nordic)

Updated over a week ago

Era Match percentages show how similar your DNA is to ancient genomes grouped by time period (e.g., Viking Age, Iron Age). Each era has its own genetic profile. Region Match percentages show how similar your DNA is to individuals from specific geographic areas during the Viking Age.

These scores reflect shared ancestry and genetic similarity at a population level β€” they don't mean you're directly descended from a specific person or group.
