Fig. 4: Marital practices, inbreeding and statistical associations between genetic and non-genetic factors.
From: An ancient DNA perspective on the Russian conquest of Yakutia
a, Kinship network obtained from two analyses (cases in which both analyses disagree are shown reporting both corresponding relationships). Mitochondrial and Y-chromosome haplogroups are colour-coded and represented by symbols on the right and left sides of each individual. Family groups (with first-degree and second-degree relationships) are circled and named. b, Heat map of P values for tests of dissimilarity between DNA-based or material-based (rows) and non-genetic (columns) factors. Grey means that the test was not performed because cultural categories have been defined on the material culture. c, Proportion of long and short run of homozygosity (ROH) and inbreeding coefficient. d, Key elements of material culture excavated together with the individual UsSergue1. From top to bottom and left to right: wood comb; ushanka with a bronze solar disk worn by the deceased; choron, traditional pot for drinking fermented mare’s milk deposed between the coffin and the chest; pendants fixing together the short and virgin belt worn by the deceased; bronze stirrup; bridle, snaffle bit and bell representing burial offerings; saddle; picture of the skull of the deceased, adorned with her jewellery.
