I’m out of here. You can thank and consult with ignoramus Token who has spent years doing qpAdm

Zoro is the typical case of a person who knows how to use qpAdm, but has no idea why he is using it that way.

I plan to check later if any Siberian or Eastern Steppe samples fit into the model. But first i want to find the best sources for the Balto-Slavic and PaleoBalkan/Greco-Roman ancestry.

I got it working but it was a major pain in the ass like a death by a thousand paper cuts. Not using admixtools2 etc... per se but merging plink files and extracting them via Rstudio etc... I was hacking shell and perl scripts up all night etc.... jeez !
