A Summary of traditional subdivisions of Deep Mani and adjacent areas. The blue dashed line indicates the approximate northern boundary of Deep Mani, according to linguistics, social organisation, and the emic perceptions of the region’s inhabitants11,12,15. Significant migrations from Deep Mani to Outer Mani and Gytheion after the 17th century transformed the demography of those regions12. Inset map showing an outline of Greece, with Peloponnese highlighted in brown; arrow indicates the location of Deep Mani (inside red square). B Ancestral areas of origin of the newly sequenced present-day Deep Maniots. Each circle corresponds to the origin of each participant. The number of sampling sites (77) does not correspond to the total number of samples (102), as multiple individuals were sequenced from the same or adjacent locations. The satellite image of the Mani Peninsula was created with QGIS 3.40.0.48155 using basemaps from the Esri World Terrain Base Map, ArcGIS Online (Sources: Esri, USGS, NOAA)156,157, while the inset map of Greece is adapted from © Vemaps.com.
