[QUOTE]Originally posted by capra: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by xyyman: [qb] Yeah talk yourself into Mota has no "Eurasian DNA when it is s foregone conclusion. More European sleight of hands. To the Newbies - K2 = African and non-African K3= African, European(sardinian) and East Asian(Japanese is used as a proxy) K4= etc 4 populations etc.... [/qb][/QUOTE]supposing there actually are any lurking newbies, xyyman is wrong as usual. just because you *can* tell the computer to model the populations as a neat mix of 2 or 3 ancestral populations using this algorithm doesn't mean the program can actually come up with accurate results to be taken literally. it can't. i could tell the computer to model you as a mix of mushrooms and dandelions, you'd probably come out as mostly mushroom with a bit of dandelion. for human history at low K it will give contradictory answers depending on how many and how closely related individuals you put in from which populations. which you can easily see if you bother to actually read any papers. Mota is exactly equidistant between Han and Sardinian with D stats, obviously K=3 yellow component is not actually European using qpAdm (table S5 in Skoglund et al) Malawi_Hora is modelled as 53% ancestral South African, 47% Mota. To be precise the East African side should be slightly less related to Dinka than Mota is. not that xyyman will pay the slightest attention to any of this of course :D since this is only very tenuously connected to the topic i won't do any further sidetracking.
