About the African Ancestral Calculator (by Batetela) calculator

African Ancestral Calculator (by Batetela) is a free Global25 ancestry calculator (Calculateur, G25, Scaled). African Ancestral Calculator is a free Global25 (G25) ancestry calculator by Batetela. It focuses on African ancestry, from Central and Southern African hunter-gatherers to West African, Bantu and East African populations. It models your coordinates with 30 reference populations, including East AfricanPastoral/Dinka-like, South AfricanHG/San-like, CAHG East/Mbuti-like, West African Farmer/Esan-like and Ancestral North African/Para-Eurasian. Paste your scaled G25 coordinates to get your best-fit ancestry mix, computed directly in your browser. Its reference panel holds about 30 reference populations, grouped mainly as OOAII, East AfricanPastoral/Dinka-like, South AfricanHG/San-like, CAHG East/Mbuti-like, West African Farmer/Esan-like, Ancestral North African/Para-Eurasian, East AfricanHG/Mota-like, CAHG West/Biaka-like.The panel was built or amended by Batetela.Last updated: October 2026.

Who it is for

People who already have their Global25 (G25) coordinates, for example from a raw DNA file converted with our G25 coordinates service, and want to see how a specific reference panel reads them. Different calculators use different panels, so the same person can get different percentages, and comparing several is more informative than trusting one.

How to read the output

Paste your coordinates, choose a run mode and start the calculation. Each result line is a reference population followed by the share of your ancestry it explains, the shares add up to 100%. Very small shares (below roughly 1 to 2%) are usually noise rather than real ancestry. The distance value tells you how well the mixture reproduces your coordinates: the lower, the better, and a high distance means this panel does not describe you well. For example, a result of "Polish 60 / Ukrainian 25 / Lithuanian 15" means your coordinates are best rebuilt from those three populations in those proportions, not that you descend from three separate groups.
