Evolutionary relationships among human populations based on polyTE genotypes. Populations are color coded as shown in the figure legend. a. Multi-dimensional scaling (MDS) plot showing polyTE genotype-based distances among 2,504 individuals from 26 human populations. b. The same polyTE genotype MDS plot showing population average distances. c. Phylogenetic tree based on average polyTE allele sharing distances between human populations. d. polyTE genotype-based continental ancestry contribution fractions for individuals from non-admixed ancestral (European, Asian and African) and admixed (American) human populations. An expanded view of the ancestry fractions is shown for the admixed American populations
