Prompted by my posts, Dienekes, A teaser on the Kalash:
I am in the middle of a ChromoPainter/fineSTRUCTURE analysis of a broad dataset designed to explore certain mysteries that have often come up in my previous experiments. Barring the unexpected, the analysis should be completed sometime next week. Below you can see the normalized number of "chunks" donated by various populations to the Kalash....
Here is the bar plot which Dienekes generated (left to right indicates extent of "donation" to the Kalash):
I highlighted the most significant non-South Asian donor. Dienekes states:
