ADMIXTURE tracks Amerindian-like admixture in northern Europe

[Black Wolf]

This is an interesting analysis that Dienekes carried out last year where he seems to think that the North/East Eurasian ancestry that is shared between Europeans and Native Americans can be tracked using ADMIXTURE at K=4. He calls this analysis globe4. In this he shows that most Europeans especially Northern Europeans show some Amerindian type admixture. This Amerindian admixture is obviously some very ancient type of ancestry that both present day Europeans and Native Americans share together. He released the calculator files for this analysis as well so we can post our results here and compare if you wish. Here are mine below.

90.08% European
1.13% Asian
0.22% African
8.57% Amerindian

Weird. Since when is Mexico synonymous of Amerindian? In South America you have Bolivia and Peru which are by far the most amerindian countries in the Americas. It would of make more sense if you mentioned one of those countries instead.

Bolivians and Peruvians have much less European admixture than Mexicans, therrfore they look more Amerindian. Mexicans on the other hand look more "Mestizo", that is, European + Amerindian.

It is interesting to note that the East Eurasian type ancestry picked up by this analysis comes out as being Amerindian like among Europeans including Finns and Russians who have known more recent East Eurasian admixture while the East Eurasian type ancestry seen in Middle Easterners and West Asians comes our as Asian in this analysis.
