Figure 2

a) Recent gene flow but no ancient structure. RGF I has no bottleneck in E. RGF II has a bottleneck in E after gene flow while RGF VI has a bottleneck in E before the gene flow. RGF IV and V have constant population sizes of Ne = 5000 and Ne = 50000 respectively. b) Ancient structure but no recent gene flow. AS I has a constant population size while AS II has a recent bottleneck in E. c) Neither ancient structure nor recent gene flow. NGF I has a constant population size while NGF II has a recent bottleneck in E. d),e) Ancient structure+Recent gene flow. HM IV consists of continuous migration in the Y-E ancestor and the Y-E-N ancestor while HM I consists of continuous migration only in the Y-E ancestor. HM II consist of a single admixture event in the ancestor of E while HM III also models a small population size in one of the admixing populations.
