Figure 2

Principal coordinates from multidimensional scaling analysis using 17 X chromosome microsatellites (the three pseudoautosomal markers were excluded). The GDA software package[12] was used to produce a 52 × 52 matrix of pairwise F st values,[9] from which two principal coordinates (PC1 and PC2) were obtained by multidimensional scaling with the SPSS 8.0.0 package. Most populations (filled circles) are indicated with numbers (see Zhivotovsky et al. [7]). The horizontal and vertical axes are principal coordinates PC1 and PC2, respectively. Open circles and asterisks are overlapping populations of, respectively, East Asia (Dai, Cambodian, Han from North China) and Eurasia (Uygur, Hazara, Brahui). Africa represents sub-Saharan African populations.
