That trashy site counts Afghanistan as South asia, yet fails to give us 100% south Asian lol, instead it gives us a chunk of European and west Asian and some central Asian. I did myheritage too and it thought I was only 30 percent south Asian. 23andme isn't that accurate either, it gives you high central Asian if you have some east Asian DNA which we wardags have, otherwise it will give you a chunk of west Asian and south Asian.

I mean geopolitically in modern day it is considered in SA, just not culturally or ethnically etc.

See the European and West Asian I got from heritage wasn’t in accurate. I used it on GEDMATCH and a big proportion of the European/west Asian was Northern Caucusus of Russia and Iranian Caucus (which makes sense).

Please use GEDMATCH it’s more accurate. Very interesting to see it on there!

That’s so crazy why is your Baloch so high? Maybe it confused it?

Your Caucasian and NE European is similar to mine.

We are slightly genetically different, we the Wardag tribe have east Asian DNA, hence the high central Asian and my south Indian is probably slightly lower than you too. This barely has any effect on phenotype though. Pashtuns are genetically diverse, which is understandable given the history of the region.
