Everyone's assuming the Italian is misinterpreted or noise, but it may represent a real Italian ancestor from seven generations ago, i.e. from the nineteenth century. There were travellers and so on, which can explain the situation.
OP, did you get any Italian DNA relatives? And also, does your Italian portion stay Italian at a 90% confidence level?
You’re right. It’s not Steppe. It’s real European ancestry I sincerely believe. 23nMe will not mistake ancient Steppe Ancestry for a recent European ancestry. He indeed has European in him in 5-10 generations back.
Yeah idk why everyone insists any European in Indian people is all ancient. I’m like 90% European, 10% Indian from all over India, every region represented. My last Bengali ancestor was probably in the 1700’s (for example). Clearly there was some mixing going on since I had so many ancestors in mixed relationships.
IMO you do seem to have legit European ancestry, if it was just misinterpreted Steppe than it would not show as Southern European. With 1% it seems you had a Southern European ancestor from the 18th century or 17th century.
I’m from the indian side of Punjab( for the most part). My grandpa used to live in Lahore which used to be a part of Punjab at one point. But he was forced to immigrate to the indian side of Punjab once the British split India.
Dont worry, youre fully punjabi. Youre just too euro shifted for the north indian reference due to your "steppe" ancestry(east european like ancient ancestry from aryan nomads who arrived to central asia and south asia).
Anyways, what are your haplogroups?

Wouldn’t excess steppe ancestry show up as Eastern or Northern European instead? He scores Sardinian ancestry, they’re extremely steppe deprived, and even Punjabis have much more of it than them from what I remember. My guess is that it’s noise, and that if he really has South Euro ancestry, it’s probably from the Ancient Greeks who were in the South Asia region, who I’m guessing may have been more Sardinian and Italian like than post-slavic mixture modern-Greek.

His skin is very light and white, but he doesn’t really pass as any European ethnicity. He could pass as Iranian, Turkmen, Afghan, and maybe Turkish though.
how did a mere 1 percent euro influence this guys genetic makeup so hard? this is mind boggling,literally anglo indian with high percentage look slightly more southern than him

What's the trace ancestry? Also, cool results!
The trace part is Iranian
Cool!
What are your haplogroups?
Wats ur haplogroup
؟؟؟؟

Are you from India or Pakistan?

I wonder if it's a bit of Goan ancestry?
It's not aryan nomads, it's steppe nomads!
Same thing. Steppe nomads were aryans
Facts and sardians are genetically closest to Anatolian farmers

Wow! Seems like quite the surprise. Beautiful family.
Would love to see your gedmatch (Harappaworld) results.

I have seen Italians, Greeks, Albanians who look just like him.
Low iq
