I've been thinking about drift in populations and I've been trying to find anything with FST distances or just distance plots. If anyone has anything please post here.

This is from way back in 1993 and is Cavalli-Sforza who was a pioneer in genetics. Still interesting to post.

Table linked here has quite a few populations.

It is old now but some interesting points.


By applying to this tree the bootstrap technique [9], one finds that Lapps are outliers in 76% of the resampled trees; they are replaced as the most extreme outlier by Sardinians 18% of the time; Sardinia is the next outlier in 63% of the bootstrapped trees in which Lapps are first.

There is a group of five other extreme outliers: Greeks, Yugloslavs, Basques, Icelanders and Finns.

Some of this stuff is outdated and newer studies should be used.
