Figure 4. Three African Populations.

Figure 4

Plots of the first two eigenvectors for some African populations in the CEPH–HGDP dataset [30]. Yoruba and Bantu-speaking populations are genetically quite close and were grouped together. The Mandenka are a West African group speaking a language in the Mande family [15, p. 182]. The eigenanalysis fails to find structure in the Bantu populations, but separation between the Bantu and Mandenka with the second eigenvector is apparent.
