I've run my data through 6 different studies of Ethnic makeup. They consistently gave the same general porportions, which is reassuring, but within each general ethnic group, seemed to vary in content
For example for the African markers, most studies uniformly gave Sub Saharan African, split between West and East Africa. One study showed tribal association of Omotic ( southern Ethiopia) and Mbuti-pygmy ( west equatorial) One study showed that it was mostly Northern African with some Western. Another showed twice as much Eastern as Western. It's all in how large and varied a population used for each model is in the studies.
