Analysis of 1,000 Genomes Project + HapMap 3 Data (http://dienekes.blogspot.com/2011/03/analysis-of-1000-genomes-hapmap-3-data.html)
He sliced and diced again based on newly available data and crunched it through his systems (read link for detail). Results per ethnicity is interesting:

This is quite instructive with respect to the absence of particular reference populations: Finns show East Eurasian influences in the form of "Native American" (1.5%) and "East Asian" (6.2%) elements. Clearly, we don't have to imagine Native Americans moving into Finland, and these two components are standins for the Siberian ancestors of the European Finns. Similarly, Spanish show African admixture (1.6%). This is also probably due to both North and Sub-Saharan African elements, but the absence of appropriate North African references makes the distinction impossible.
