What are Ancient DNA Matches?

Updated over 2 weeks ago

Ancient DNA Matches are a ranked list of real people whose bones and DNA were excavated from archaeological sites. Each match includes the site name, time period, cultural group, and a genetic similarity score.

Unlike the regional breakdown, which averages patterns across broad zones, the matches give you a direct "here are the ancient people closest to you genetically" view. You can see exactly who you're most similar to and when they lived.
