I'm from Italy. My Africa score is 60.08%. Ranges from 61.9 for Bantu-Kenya to 52.2 for San, with the expected order (Bantu-Mandinka-Pigmies-San). For comparisons, my top population score is 84.05 with Tuscany (and I'm from there).

That seems kind of low for an italian, do you know how much other ethnic groups score with black africans, like north africans, arabs, indians etc?

No, I don't know of any north african or middle eastern on decodeme. So I don't really know how to interpret the scores, if they're high or low. In general, Europeans cluster together pretty closely, and subsaharan Africans cluster at the opposite end, so I wouldn't be too surprised.

It seems like you have figures from 2 different places here.

The sharing tool (cacio's figures) and the genetic atlas (thurman's figures) which uses 100kb fragment sizes and more individuals. That explains why the later is higher.
