It's interesting to note that no matter which test I run, I come up with zero African and zero Amerindian. So much for us 'admixed' old stock Americans.

First of all, below is a list of the geographic locations or ethnic groups in which the clusters from the Eurogenes' Gedmatch tests peak. I can't post any population averages or maps at present, but will do so as soon as possible. I really need more people to fill in their ancestry details at Gedmatch when they run these tests, otherwise producing more detailed guides won't be possible.

Now, the K12 test is the most useful analysis in the context of my project, which focuses on the genetic substructures of groups from north of the Alps and Carpathians. Therefore, most of this post will be dedicated to that test, and especially to the European and West Eurasian clusters it features. Indeed, below is an MDS plot showing synthetic samples made from the allele frequencies of the seven West Eurasian clusters from the K12.

It's pretty easy to see what's going on there. The four North European clusters are positioned close together on the left of the plot. However, the Western European and North Sea clusters both show significant affinity to the Mediterranean cluster, by pulling towards its direction.
Note also that the Mediterranean and Caucasus clusters are placed about half way between the South Baltic and Southwest Asian clusters across dimension one. This is in line with geography, because the Mediterranean Basin and Caucasus Mountains are located between Northern Europe and the Middle East.
However, the Mediterranean and Caucasus clusters are sharply differentiated across dimension two. This also fits geography, because there's obviously a huge distance between the populations of the Western Mediterranean (in which the Mediterranean cluster peaks) and the Caucasus.
More to come...
