It is hard to believe in some ancestry results. FamilyTreeDna's new Ancient Origins give me following results
Metal Age Invader 12%
Farmer 30%
Hunter-Gatherer 54%
Non-European 4%
Regarding Metal Age Invaders they refer to the Metal Age Yamnaya culture, regarding Farmers to the Neolithic Anatolian migration to Europe and regarding Hunter-Gatherers to ancient LaBrana, Loschbour and Motala samples. Regarding non-European proportion they give a hint to look at myOrigins, which is FamilyTreeDna's admixture analysis based on present-day populations. My myOrigins give me only one non-European group, Middle Easterners. I doubt it, the non-European in my Ancient Origins test is likely Asian.
Going further in analyzing results I compared my Ancient Origin results to scientific papers, Haak et al. 2015 giving comparable results. Haak et al. gives following results for Finns:
EN (Farmers) 31.5%
Nganasan (Asian) 10.2%
WHG (Hunter-Gatherer) 7.9%
Yamnaya (Metal Age Intrurers) 50.4%
Respectively Norwegians get in this study
EN (Farmers) 48.2%
Nganasan (Asian) 4.2%
WHG (Hunter-Gatherer) 0%
Yamnaya (Metal Age Intrurers) 47.5%
We can see a huge transition between Yamnayas/Iron Age Intruders and Hunter-Gatherers between Ancient Origins and Haak et al. I know something about the method used by Haak et al., but I have no idea what FamilyTreeDna did. However, if I try to guess, I would say that they could have used a very drastic LD-pruning. I can get similar differences by heavily pruned data and it makes sense. Metal-Age invasion to Europe happened during the Bronze Age, thousands years later than the arrival of hunter-gatherers. So it is reasonable to assume that we have still much more Bronze Age genetic drift than drift from hunter-gatherers, thus removing LD removes more ancestry of Metal Age Intrurers. Pruning present-day samples does't have same effect due to more similar genetic composition.
I made also some admixture tests. Pruning LD gives a big change in ancient admixtures.
My result without pruning
Anatolian_Neolithic 31.4
BA_East_European_Steppe 44,8
East_and_Southeast_Asian 10,8
Western_Hunter_Gathrerer 13
and after pruning
Anatolian_Neolithic 27.5
BA_East_European_Steppe 25.9
East_and_Southeast_Asian 7.8
Western_Hunter_Gathrerer 38.8
I am not saying that the difference between results of FamilyTreeDna and Haak et al. is caused by pruning, because I don't know it. I only state that pruning ancient samples is risky.

Project admix results, revised
My previous test was missing of German reference samples. Together with the fact that my Swedish reference samples seem to be somewhat off, this gave results biased towards Balto-Slavs. I have now added German samples available from Pagani et al. 2016 and have rerun all project samples, plus two new Finnish samples. Additionally I tested three Finnish samples introduced by aforementioned study. Soon after downloading those samples I understood that they don't represent average Finns. So this point is included after project results.
I had difficulties in editing columns and after some useless efforts I copy-pasted all in plain text format.

I tested three Finns, seen above, two of them typical Western Finns without any obvious foreign admixture and one should be a typical Finn from East Finland. The first row below shows the average result using average Finnish reference picked from 1000-genomes and the second row shows the average result after changing the reference to Finnish samples of Pagani et al.
FI12, FI14 and FI21, average Finnish result when using average Finnsh reference 64,8
FI12, FI14 and FI21, average Finnish result when using Pagani Finnish samples as a reference 10,1
In this particular case, while Pagani Finns almost fully mismatch with average Finns, it also eliminates Finnish admixture of Swedish results where it is present in analyses based on average Finnish reference, in some cases substituting Finnish admixture by Karelian and Veps. This is really odd.
