Sweden: 1291/2850=45%, 10m

I decided to include population totals to illustrate the sampling bias. Belgium has a slightly larger population than Sweden yet Sweden has 8 times as many samples. The British Isles has around 7 times the population of Belgium yet has 85 times as many samples. That’s a disproportionate sampling bias of 12 to 1. I believe that sampling bias is going to negatively influence any theories we have regarding subclade distribution and tying them to particular historical events.
