It's good to be able to track the various components through different levels of resolution. <br /><br />What's most interesting is how the Amerindian component identified at K=4 behaves differently in certain populations. While most of it is soaked into the Atlantic-Baltic component at K=6 for most populations, it remains salient (though split now between different East Eurasian components) in Finns and other Y haplogroup N affected populations. At K=8, Finns are 8.9 Siberian, while most Western Europeans are 0.1 or less. But at K=4 this Siberian element in Finns is described primarily as Amerindian, meaning that this K=4 component isn't homogenous. This supports your palimpsest idea. Also noteworthy is that at K=3, a significantly greater proportion of the K=4 Amerindian component in Finns is described as 'Asian' than is the case for other European populations.<br /><br />But here's something interesting: If you attempt to find the pre-haplogroup N level of Amerindian in Finns by subtracting the 8.9 Siberian at K=8 from the 12.1 Amerindian + 3.6 Asian at K=4, then the Amerindian level in Finns that can be considered of the same nature as that found in Western Europeans is 6.8 -- about the same as the English and Dutch.<br /><br />I understand it's not an exact science, but I thought it interesting to note, especially if we're considering a NE European origin of this component.<br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
