Genetic study on Afrikaners (n=1388)

Afrikaners are 97.75% European on average; ~50% Dutch, ~25% French, ~20% German.

- 12.4% of Afrikaners had <95% European ancestry
- 4% had <90% European ancestry
- 1.25% had <85%
- 0.75% had <80%

This 12.4% mostly have additional East and South Asian ancestry, rather than additional African ancestry.

Afrikaner samples from Vahaduo (n=22) are on average 96.4% European, 2.3% Asian, and 1.3% African. They cluster with Germans and Northern French on a PCA of modern West Eurasians.
