Not directly related to the topic, but... The ranking is not only about genetics, of course. An example, among many others, is the huge distance between Estonia (100.72) and Latvia (94.79). Again, correlation does not necessarily imply causation. This interesting article below deals with the...

I don't remember seeing it before, so, for fun, here're frequencies of haplogroups in FTDNA tree (not projects) by flags, which are based on the self-reported MDKA's locations. Although these frequencies are based on about 84,000 samples, they don't necessarily represent modern frequencies in...

Thanks. Indeed. IIRC I used those two samples for WSHG. These traces of WSHG in Western Europeans could be linked to the "Steppe" ancestry perhaps. There're some Native American ancient samples that could be used in the model. The fits would get much better.

Agreed. It's mainly for fun, and it should not be taken literally. In the spirit of Bekas' post, here're the results for Portugal using nMonte3 in R and the default penalty. The results vary in each run, so they're not perfectly reproducible. 1) Portugal_avg (nMonte3, penalty+) AHG: 61.6 WHG...

@Duarte Looks better. These last numbers for Iberomaurusian in Portuguese seem more realistic than ~10%, in my opinion. Model with pre-Neolithic pops mainly, as Iberomaurisians were. Target Distance AHG CHG CMR_Shum_Laka_8000BP EHG IRN_HotuIIIb_Meso KEN_Early_Pastoral_N Natufian Taforalt...

Hello Duarte. This model seems overfitted. If the goal is isolating the Iberomaurusian, specifically to test its contribution to modern Iberians, I believe using ancient pops relatively far removed to one another would be enough. The model through which I get those 3.4% is based mainly on...

Morocco EN is almost entirely Iberomaurusian-like, but not the Morocco LN. Canary itself would have Iberomaurusian. These models may be "sensible". :) When I try to isolate the Iberomaurusian component using other old components such EHG, WHG, AHG, CHG, Natufian, Iran Meso, Shum Laka 8000 ybp...

Portuguese (and Galician) would be about 11% Moorish (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-018-08272-w) on average. The Moorish would not have been 100% Iberomaurusian though, meaning generally less than 10% of Iberomaurusian-like ancestry in modern Portuguese. @Duarte Try to add SSA and NA...

The Sintashta samples from Allentoft et al. don't seem to be there, but (most of) those from Narasimhan et al. are.
