Although it obviously can't be interpreted literally, the timeline feature of 23andMe shows you the possible most recent ancestor who fell into one of the assigned categories. Most of these are plausible for Caribbean people with roots in Haiti and the Spanish Caribbean. And as indicated here, the indigenous ancestry is from far deeper in time. The South Asian here is probably noise while "Swedish" is presumably due to overlap with western European or Iberian populations. In addition, the Senegambian & Guinean being dated earlier in time is also consistent with the large numbers of Senegambian captives brought to Saint Domingue earlier in the French colonial period.
