I assume Holocene Malawi is what Skoglund labeled Malawi_Hora-8100BP?
Interesting that the Nuba component was in Malawi during the Holocene. More interesting is that the Pemba component increased in Malawi and Southern Africa to the present day populations but the component already existed in Holocene Malawi.
All said Malawi seems to be extremely diverse during the Holocene.
Why isn’t West Africans, YRI, Mende etc included? Kasem?

All 13 appear in Southern Africa at some time or other.
In time San and Khoe give way to A&B East African signals but persist nonetheless. 'Nuba' (repping NigerCongoKordofanian & NiloSaharan), never more than 20% is there since the Holocene. The very young yellow West African signal is in all the moderns. Suprisingly to me most strongest in Herero.
Generic West Eurasian makes a good showing, especially 6000BP Malawi. Atlantic West African is in all the moderns but only in Holocene and 2500BP Malawi. Original died out, new came in with White Volta element? The Bataheen peaking signal is with historic majority San pops.
The remaining 4 signals are weak. Only Mota and Anatolia show in the ancients. Anatoli is alongside Bataheen in modern San. Fula and Amazigh signals are in all moderns except no Amazigh for !Xun.

Correct me but it looks like there was a “shift” in population ie genes in Malawi from the LSA to the present. There was a dramatic increase Pemba and Chonyi component. But these components already existed during the Late Stone Age in Malawi Also it looks like the South African “base” component(Blue) is best represented in the Karajet, Khoi and Nama which is distinctive from !Xun and Hererro

ElMaestro. I am curious, why was Kasem chosen instead or YRI or Mende? Is Kasem..YRI. If I understand correctly Kassem is Ghana. First I have seen them used in a study
The Kasem component is very insignificant in the moderns South Africans except …yes….the Herero. IBD Or replacement? Since the Herero people is South West Africa(Namibia) and the Kasem are West African. This may be a remnant marker?!

OK, So I ran the dataset with Taforalt and I must say... It looks messy, I might need to rebuild the whole dataset and try to broaden the SNP count. I will post when I can.
I believe I left out pops like Hadza YRI and Mende to try to find secrets in their absence.

You are really passive aggressive aren't you.
