Plot of the first two principal coordinates of the allele frequencies at the eight polymorphic Alu insertion loci. The same relative population relationships were observed when the hypothetical ancestral population (consisting of allele frequencies of zero for the presence of the Alu element at each locus) was removed from the analysis (data not shown), indicating that the inclusion of the ancestral population is not distorting the population relationships.
