  1. For each of the two groups (A and B), we calculate the sROH[4,8] statistic with individuals having sROH>20 > 50 cM removed. We report the total sample size per group (nA and nB), quantiles of the sROH[4,8] statistic (25%, 50%, and 75%), and a two-sided p-value for the pairwise comparison (permanova with 99,999 Permutations, see Section “Methods”, the minimal attainable p-value is 1.0 × 10−5). All p-values < 0.05 are marked in bold (no multiple testing correction was applied). Early Farmer groups are defined as 2000 years after the first individual with an “Agriculture” annotation per region (Fig. 2). Other population abbreviations are FG foraging, PA pastoralism, EN early neolithic, MN middle neolithic.
