Alt, Elena Balanovska, Alan Cooper, Wolfgang HaakGenetic distances were computed between 144 modern-day populations geographically delineated across Eurasia (red dots) and the eleven individuals from aUzPo (A) and the 23 individuals from aBOO (B). The colour gradient represents the degree of similarity between the modern and ancient populations, interpolated between sampling points: from ‘green’ for high similarity or small genetic distance to ‘brown’ for low similarity. ‘K’ designates the number of populations used for distance computation and mapping; ‘N’ represents the number of points in the grid used for extrapolation; ‘min’, corresponds to the minimal values respectively of the computed distances between ancient and modern populations.
