PCA plots with 48 ancient populations, representing first and second principal components. The differentiation of European and Asian populations is displayed on the PCA plot of ancient populations along PC1, PC2. The separation is caused by the opposite influence of Asian (A, B, C, D, G, F, Z) and European (H, J, K, T2) haplogroups along PC1, while R and the subgroups of haplogroup U (especially the U4, U5a and U8) predominate on PC2. The Avar elite group is situated close to 5th–3rd century BC Scythians from the Altai region (ALT_Scythians), medieval Chinese population and Yakuts from the 15th-19th centuries AD (RUS_Yakuts) along PC1 and PC2. For haplogroup frequencies, abbreviations and references see Table S2.
