Calculated as described in the Subjects and Methods section. No error estimates are shown for fsr because the (intuitively large) uncertainty introduced by the repartitioning process is hard to assess. Some (2.4%) of lineages (“erratics”) were not assigned to founders and account for the remainder for each criterion; they are either the result of recent east Eurasian or African admixture or are rare types that could not be classified.
