Table 2 Ancient study populations. The ancient genotypes are divided into 2000-year-long intervals, and then each of these intervals is grouped into geographic units (i.e. ancient populations). Age, latitude and longitude are averaged across each ancient population (see Supplementary Table S2 for details).
