Genetic distance of Yamnaya samples to other groups

[curupira]

I ordered the table provided on the page 26 of the recent study on them (Haak et al, 2015) so that it would be easier to read it. It includes the old samples too, and a comparison to EHG and WHG.

No modern European group is really that close to them. All that ANE ancestry pulls them East, and the major West Asian and small but noticable amount even South Asian ancestry makes them only moderately closer to modern Northern Europeans than to modern Southern Europeans.

Bizzare that haak et al gave england literally 2x as much WHG as scotland, how is it possible they could plot next to one another on a PCA with such significant difference between them?
