Extended Data Table 1 Populations in the study

From: Ancient West African foragers in the context of African population history

  1. List of populations in the analyses in this study. Data types are in-solution targeted SNP capture (1240k); whole-genome sequences with pseudohaploid genotype calls (SG); high-coverage whole-genome sequences with diploid genotype calls (DG); and Human Origins SNP array (HO). For some populations, we used different sets of samples for different analyses (indicated by forward slashes); individuals genotyped on the Human Origins array were used for PCA and for f-statistics testing differential relatedness to Shum Laka individuals (Fig. 3b, Extended Data Fig. 3b). For the Hadza, we used five individuals with Human Origins data for PCA and two of these five individuals for admixture graph modelling. Data for the Altai Neanderthal individual are from ref. 78. AA, Afroasiatic; IE, Indo-European; KS, Khoesan; NC, Niger–Congo; NS, Nilo-Saharan; ST, Sino-Tibetan.
  2. *Individuals from Hora, Chencherere and Fingira.
  3. †Individuals from Ballito Bay (A and B) and St Helena Bay.
