Now to the really important question. What do you all think about the origins of the different components? Like which populations do you think they originated in? It would be nice to know.

Atlantic is probably in line with the Long barrow people, who put up the Megaliths, like Stonehenge.

I'm not sure about Dendrograms; Complete linkage excels at macro clusters (like nw european-ne european etc.) but it fails at micro clusters (like East Finnish - South Finnish etc). Single linkage is the opposite of that is better at micros, worse at macros.. So I'll stick with MDS this time..Quote:

I see that the North_Atlantic component is very high all over Western and Northwestern Europe. French Basques and Irish seem to have the most of it.Quote:

Scots, French Basques and Irish seem to have the largest amounts of the North_Atlantic component. All West Europeans and even Scandinavians have a lot of it though on the whole.
Only a sample of 4-5 Danes(one who is part British even).Quote:

S.West, S.East England & Orkney have loads of samples.

Thanks for that Mfa.
Seems interesting, my mother clearly has a strong pull towards western Asia (looks like Georgian/Turkish, like in many of the Oracles) while it's less pronounced in my Aunt and quite pronounced in me considering i am one generation on. So my mother is between Germany and France and with a pull towards West Asia (again this fits well with the Oracle). My Grandmother is closest to Southwest English but with a a strong pull to the south-west, pretty similar to Graham's Dad, but i guess a south-western version instead.:P My Grandfather is just north of the Dutch average (he comes out Danish in the oracle, so makes sense i guess), and my Dad is closer to his father than his mother, and closest to SE English (good approximation for actual ancestry). It's interesting how mine, SeaWarrior and Herr Hesselink's mother's seem to have formed a group in central-north Europe lol. And i'm in the middle but closest to my aunt and mother, makes sense.
