Sample numbers, haplogroup diversity, standard deviation [69] and number of haplogroups are obtained from the authors data set (material not shown).

Taiwanese Han includes Minnan and Hakka, these groups are not differentiable using the exact test of population differentiation using Arlequin package [55].

@ No Ivatan are included in this group
