Extended Data Table 1 |. Ancestry change over time in Britain.

We pool all individuals from each period and region removing those failing qpAdm modeling at p<0.01 according to Supplementary Table 5. In the left columns are qpAdm estimates of ancestry based on pre-Bronze Age source populations for each group. Below diagonal are Z-scores from f4(Row population, Column population; Turkey_N, OldSteppe) (highlighted in red if |Z|>3). Above diagonal are inbreeding-corrected FST values (highlighted in yellow if FST>0.005).
