I don't believe they broke it down into percentages per group/ethnicity, from my general understanding of what a representative sample means, as well as what I remember from the mini series, they have DNA on file for just about if not all of "groups of people" in the world. It is quite possible that the "file" for the French is much larger than that for the Igbo people. I think some of the links Wolfman provided may be able to give better insight into actual numbers and ethinicities "on file" at the testing site they used?

The individual participants I was speaking of were those people highlighted in mini series, Quincy Jones, Oprah, etc. Their DNA was taken and then compared to the samples "on file".
