Based on 286 individuals from all populations (including all DNA source types) in the SGDP dataset. Each point corresponds to an individual and is colored by the corresponding geographic region defined by SDGP: Africans, West Eurasians (WE), Central Asians–Siberians (CAS), East Asians (EA), South Asians (SA), Oceanians, and Native Americans (NA). Multidimensional scaling was performed in Python using the manifold.MDS([n_components, metric, n_init,s..]) function from the sklearn.manifold module. The data fit by the model uses the Euclidean distance between xi and xj where the mth entry in vector xi is the copy number of allele m in individual i, taking possible values 0, 1, or 2.
