MDS plot based on RST values for Y-STR haplotypes, comparing global populations with the U.S. groups. Data for non-U.S. populations, West Africans (WAF), Cameroons (CAM) from this study; Germans (GER), Poles (POL), native South Americans (NSA), Chinese (CHI), Javanese (JAV), and Papua New Guineans from coastal (PNC) and highland (PNH) regions from Kayser et al. (1997, 2000a,b, 2001); Italians (ITA) fromCaglia et al. (1997); Hungarians (HUN) and Baranya-Romanies (ROM) fromFüredi et al. (1999); South Africans (SAF), Mbuti Pygmies (PYG), Mali (MAL), Ethiopians (ETH), San (SAN), Cambodians (CBD), native Americans (NAM), and Pakistani (PAK) from Seielstad et al. (1999); Spaniards (SPA) from M. Kayser (unpubl.); and Asian-Americans (ASA) from M. Prinz (unpubl.). (▵) Africans; (▴) African-Americans; (○) Europeans; (●) European-Americans; (□) Asian ancestry (including native Americans); (▪) Hispanics.
