In a previous note, I presented an algorithm that allows you to test ancestry flows between three populations. The method in the previous note already allows for bilateral comparisons, between the three populations. However, if you repeatedly apply the trilateral test, using all possible triplets from a dataset of populations, you will produce a graph. This graph will have bilateral flows using information derived from the entire dataset, as opposed to just three populations.

I’m still mulling through the data, but in the previous note, I stated that Norway seems to be the root population for basically everyone. I now think it’s somewhere around Holland and Denmark, using the full graph produced by the algorithm below. This is not to undermine the hypothesis that human life began in Africa, instead, the hypothesis is that modern homosapiens seem to have emerged pretty recently, in Northern Europe. All of this stuff needs to be squared off with other known results, in particular archeological results, but it does explain how, e.g., South East Asians have the gene for light skin, by descendancy (i.e., they’re the ancestors of white Europeans). I’m merely expanding the claim, pointing out that a lot of Africans also test as the descendants of Europeans, using mtDNA.

Here’s the code, more to come. You just call it from the command line saying “graph_matrix = generate_full_ancestry_graph(dataset, num_classes, N);”. The resultant graph flows are stored in graph_matrix. You’ll need the rest of the code, which is included in the paper I link to in the previous note.
