Fun with Simulated G25 Coordinates

Although using G25 coordinates from different admixture calculators and then using Vahaduo to run that information against G25 coordinates for various populations, past and present, is fun, it's not very reliable. However, using simulated coordinates from MDLP with a 1st Century BC calculator by Tomenable did match our data with a sample from Hispaniola, from Macorix Ciguayo. Using other simulated scaled G25 coordinates did not detect this, usually tracing our indigenous Americas ancestry to Amazon Farming Tribes and other South American groups. And, if we are being honest, about 2000 years ago was around the time when agriculturalists who likely spoke Arawakan languages were migrating to the Greater Antilles. Furthermore, we have no East African ancestry so the Africa_Cushitic Peoples ancestry is not accurate at all. Needless to say, none of this should be taken too seriously, but interesting to see nonetheless. The other set of G25 coordinates, which only listed Amazon Farming Tribes, was more accurate in other ways since it detected West African ancestry.
