Post OsricPearl Tue 20 Nov - 2:35

I don't know if I've posted this here before, but I recently revisited DnA.Land. I was curious because they had a chart of SNPs that affected intelligence. I was happy to learn that I was counted as being "higher than average." But this is the same company that claims I'm only 5'1 (159). I'm five inches taller than that. Rolling Eyes

Anyway, I'm posting my results with me verifying if it's true.

Wellness Traits

Circadian Rhythm - Likely an evening person - Preliminary  True
Coffee -Average Consumption -Preliminary False
Educational Attainment - You have attended college - Preliminary True
Intelligence - Possible evidence of increased intelligence - Very Preliminary Depends on who you ask. :lol:
Neuroticism- Low tendency toward neuroticism - Preliminary Depends on the time of the month. Bad Mood

Physical Traits

Eye color - Likely to have Brown Eyes- Good - True
Height Likely shorter than average - Fair  False
Nearsightedness- Slightly Nearsighted -Speculative- True

My Garbage Ancestry Report:
dNA.Land  Dna_la10

There is so much wrong with this Ancestry Report. Where to begin? Where do these scores come from? Balkan? Kalash? Finnish? I don't think so.  Evil Laugh
Why do I have more East African than West African when I have confirmed West African but no East African.  Scratching
Where is my British that all the others pick up? Where is my Greek? Awful.

Kalash? Really?

I give DNa.Land  Thumb Down I don't recommend unless you are curious about an intelligence report, which obviously most people are shy to give.

How does that compare with your reports from 23andMe / Ancestry?

My results from DNA Land:

West Eurasian 100%
Northwest European 80%
Northeast European 12%
North Slavic 11%
Southwestern European 7.8%
Ambiguous 1.1%

Actual: All the surnames of 14 and very probably 16 of my ancestors are British & Irish.


Likely neither an evening person nor a morning person - I tend to prefer rising late and staying up late.
2.7 cups of coffee per day (Average Consumption) - I never drink coffee (or tea).
Education:14 years; you have attended college - I was in education for basically 17 years.
Possible evidence of increased intelligence - This is obviously a meaningless statement.
Average tendency toward neuroticism - I'm fairly sure I'm above average on that since I tend to worry about things.

Likely to have Brown Eyes (confidence: good) - My eyes are green/brown.
Likely shorter than average (171 cm) - I'm about 176 cm tall.
Slightly Nearsighted - Correct.
Likely very handsome - Correct.

Anyway, my results don't compare in the slightest. There is no Native American in myDNA. I don't have much, but it should have picked it up!

dNA.Land  23andm10
Notice how there isn't any NE European or South Asian which would account for the "Finnish" and the Kalash. This score fits a lot better with my family history. There is even a story of one of my great-great-grandmothers being British, which seems to have been vindicated.
