49.9% East Asian & Native American

• 36.9% Chinese
  
• 3.9% Broadly East Asian
  
• 6.6% Southeast Asian
  
• 2.5% Broadly East Asian & Native American
  

49.7%  European

• 30.9% Scandinavian
  
• 2.4% British & Irish
  
• 1.0% French and German
  
• 15.4% Broadly Northwestern European
  
•  0.1% Broadly European
  

And the rest:

• 0.3% North African
  
• 0.1% Unassigned

Well I download my raw data from that site and I have tried to break down the ethnicities even more.

That may take some time but it's certainly interesting :)

Answer 5

There is also an option to find dna relatives on 23andme. Like 3th cousin, 4th cousin, 5th cousin. This is what I got:

And before there was an ancestry finder where you could see even more of the ethnicities but right now it isn´t available but hope it comes back soon.

Answer 13

Never needed one...

Answer 14

It would be interesting if these DNA tests would go a little further back and identify the percentage of Neanderthal genes we have.

I'm serious; Europeans and Asians have about 20% Neanderthal genes, according to one study.

 My great great grand PA was illegitimate  so I had my entire genome done especially  the

 Good thing Dad told me other wise image the shock when I didn't match one Blais male but several Dion/Guyon.  Dion came from Guyon I am an exact match to several including the founding Guyon
