This is Russia superimposed on Africa:


I think those images are from two different maps. Russia spans East to West almost the whole entire hemisphere.
Russia should be a little wider than Africa. The Arabian Peninsula is of part of Africa. There's a lot of conflicting information on total land area on both countries.

The largest country in the world is Russia with a total area of 6,601,665 mi² and a land area of 16,376,870 Km² (6,323,142 mi²), equivalent to 11% of the total world's landmass of 57,510,000 square miles.

Extending nearly halfway around the Northern Hemisphere and covering much of eastern and northeastern Europe and all of northern Asia, Russia has a maximum east-west extent of some 5,600 miles (9,000 km) and a north-south width of 1,500 to 2,500 miles (2,500 to 4,000 km).

Africa's total land area is approximately 11,724,000 square miles and the continent measures about 5,000 miles (8,000 km) from north to south and about 4,600 miles (7,400 km) from east to west.

Where's this place? I'd love to go to it.

This animal is on the edge or over the edge of self awareness. It's recognizing it sees itself.

Nothing worse than a Khazarian Mafia Iguana.

All this proves is the reason why jews are working with lizard people overlords.

The lizard DNA won't bind to the beads in the Illumina bead chip microarray. (I used to help design them; 23andme buys them from ILMN) The swab was contaminated with human DNA. (sorry for the spoiler)

@just_passing_through

My wife does not match a known 3rd cousin at all on 23andme. Yet the 3rd cousin and my wife both match with a 2nd cousin of my wife.

I think this is actually possible, because maybe the 3rd cousin just didn't happen to inherit enough overlap with my wife to be detectable.

Arrays are cheap and old technology. It's like taking a sample of a word from every page in a decent sized phone book. But super duper cheap. If you really want to do genetic analysis these days you'd use NGS (Next Generation Sequencing) capable of reading every word in the phone book. The step after that would be variant calling (typically) where your phone book is compared to a reference phone book and differences are noted. (outputs a VCF file if you care to dig into that)

The reason the lizard DNA isn't legit is the chip is covered in short sequences of human dna. Only complementary DNA (other strand of human DNA) would bind to it. Now if it were the case that 'some' of the lizard DNA just happened to bind it wouldn't be much and would fail QC. You'd at least need most of the beads hybridized with DNA to pass QC, thus, it's human DNA. Or the whole thing might just be BS.

There are dropouts in microarrays so that would explain your situation. A certain amount is tolerated. Same with NGS sequencing but it's called missing coverage - you just don't get a read over certain areas.. However good sequencing panel designs are aware of difficult regions and enrich for them.

Someday these ancestry companies will switch to sequencing but it's still ~$500-1K per genome. Most people wouldn't pay for that.
