extracted bits: the bold letters are of mine:
... The Human Origins genotyping array is a collection of 13 panels, each designed with known ascertainment, for studies of human population genetics (Patterson et al., 2012). In the analysis of ancient DNA, the reference panel most widely used to date comprises <3,000 individuals genotyped using the Human Origins array (Lazaridis et al., 2014; G?nther et al., 2015; Mathieson et al., 2015; Cassidy et al., 2016), although some data are not freely available. One consequence of use of a single reference panel is consistency within the ancient DNA field. Unfortunately, the labels for ancestries used in these papers lacks overlap with labels used by other researchers for ancestries in present-day peoples 1...
Me: so it seems they compared ancient pops with current pops, what can be interesting but is a bit amazing when trying to assess homogeneity/heterogeneity of more ancient pops! (IMO at least).

RESULTS
European Hunter-Gatherers First, I considered hunter-gatherers from Hungary, Luxembourg, and Spain (Western), Switzerland, Sweden (SwedenandMotala), and Karelia and Samara (Eastern, Figure 1A). Overall, these 14 hunter-gatherers averaged 71.6% Northern European ancestry, 27.4% Southern European ancestry, and 0.9% Oceanian ancestry (Table 1). Y DNA haplogroups included eight I2, one C1, one J, one R1a, and one R1b (Table 2). Mitochondrial haplogroups included 12U, one C, and one R (Table 2). Amerindian, Circumpolar, and Southern Asian ancestries decreased from east to west, complemented by an increase of Southern European ancestry 2...
Me: n
this heterogeneity, explained by the "reversing" method, is normally accentuated by the broad geographic choice of these HG's. I find curious the weight they seem putting into uniparental markers concerning this global autosomal apporach.
