British people: genetically closer to Russians or closer to Iberians?

[Leto]

What the hell is "ASE"? Close to 4% in those Russian samples. I bet it's some type of East Eurasian. So I don't even bother with that run.

A Han Chinese from Beijing

Kit number: ZY1874649

Population
ANE 3.34 Pct
ASE 15.12 Pct
WHG-UHG -
East_Eurasian 79.72 Pct
West_African -
East_African 0.46 Pct
ENF 1.36 Pct

No way a Northern Han can be only 80% East Eurasian. Obviously they are virtually 100% EE. Even Davidski uses them as a generic Mongoloid component.

The same sample run through Dod K12b

Gedrosia 0.6 Pct
Siberian 7.14 Pct
Northwest_African -
Southeast_Asian 25.14 Pct
Atlantic_Med 0.4 Pct
North_European -
South_Asian -
East_African -
Southwest_Asian 0.1 Pct
East_Asian 66.44 Pct
Caucasus -
Sub_Saharan 0.17 Pct

Basically 99% Sib/EA/SEA aka Mongoloid.

Well, there are whole regions of Russia which are free of or have ~1% E. Eurasian, in Western and SW parts.

I can believe that for the westernmost regions, and likely not too north either indeed. However in K7, ASE has some real East Eurasian in it (different peak than ancient south eurasian used elsewhere).


ASE top 3 peaks
Malay 59.1
Cambodian 52
Dai 40

So it's not like an Australoid/Papuan/Onge ASE (hopefully if you score 3%) but stuff pred of the East Eurasian/ENA branch.

Probably to Spanish people a little bit.

On average I would say Closer to Spain via Celtic type backgrounds.
I imagine the Moor input in southern Spain would place British maybe at further distance from Southern Spain.

The Moors though have hardly any genetic influence in Spain though, as it's already confirmed. Their North African admixture is much older.

Iberians by a decent margin. This is not necesarily due some common "celtic" ancestry, this is because russians lack of Megalithic and Bell Beaker ancestry that iberians and the britons have, of course not entirely common, but related.
