Aleuts

[Pallantides]

Admixture of the Aleut sample from Rasmussen et al. in the Dodecad's Globe13 analysis:

North European 51.2%
Arctic 16.6%
Mediterranean 11.8%
Siberian 6.6%
Amerindian 4.6%
Southwest Asian 4%
West Asian 3.6%
East Asian 1.3%
South Asian 0.2%

West Eurasian = 70.8%
East Eurasian = 29.1%


Seem like an interesting population, most likely they have mixed heavily with Europeans.

51% north European and 12% mediterranean? While only 6.6%, 4.6% and 4% of the main mongoloid types?

Well, looking at pictures of Aleut people I don't think they tested the same group. Or something is broken in that calculator.

This. They don't cluster with any European group, even though, according to this, they should.

Average doesn't always equal majority. That is why I prefer autosomal data of different samples rather than some average out data provided from doc. table.


For example of the 20 invidivual samples, if 3 were of the same number than the average would be let's say 15%, but the other 18 samples can range 1% to 99%.

I bet the majority of them are over 70% Mongoloid and the average for 29.1% just happened to be the average out number.

If there was 10 samples and 2 of them were of the same number 29.1% than that would be average, even if the other 8 samples were like from 55- 90% Mongoloid, if they are not the same number than it isn't the average. That is why such tables is misleading and I use autosomal chart of different individual samples.

Yeah, that could have been the case, if they have used the mode. But I don't think they did, because mode is practicaly useless for genetic analysis.
