Fig. 1. — Scatterplot of F_ST and geographic distance. Red dots denote within-region comparisons, green triangles indicate comparisons between populations in Africa and Eurasia, and blue diamonds represent comparisons with America and Oceania. (A) The relationship between F_ST and geographic distance computed using great circle distances. R² for the linear regression of genetic distance on geographic distance is 0.5882. (B) The correction for large bodies of water produces a different scatterplot (R² = 0.7835). The regression line fitted to the data [ = 4.35 × 10^-3 + (6.28 × 10^-6) × (geographic distance in kilometers)] is drawn in black.
