Yeah I get that. That is a PCA chart. It is not the same as Fst. Im not arguing that ss blacks aren’t relatively distant to us. Distant enough to be declared a separate species? That is subjective. But all that is irrelavant. Your chart is irrelavant. Ive seen that plot at least a thousand times. I have several versions of it stored on my pc. It doesn’t fucking matter.

The issue at hand is whether OP is misinterpreting Fst. He is. OPs example samples Britons, not Europeans, so who cares what your chart is including? If instead of Britons, they only sampled people in my family, the Fst would get even larger. It doesn’t prove anything. Its statistical flim flam. What is the matter with you retards?


Oh yeah? What was it? What is the Fst from your chart? It doesn’t have one

Not to butt in (as someone whose genetics knowledge is weak), but I love exchanges like these as I learn the most from them. I'd personally love it if I had both you, helena, and CP's devotech in on this and you guys took a ton of topics on genetics to their conclusions once and for all.

That said, I have been jewgling/deepseeking along as I read through you guys. I checked helena's statement ("FST takes into account the diversity within the populations as well as the diversity between them"), which the bots say is a true statement, and that the definition summarizes to "Diversity of the total population (HT) / Between-population diversity (Dxy)" and gave the formula Fst = (Ht-Hs)/(Ht)

If this is true, then wouldn't adding additional samples necessarily change the population sequences, and thus the diversity measure? Go easy, still studying this here.

EDIT: bots/jewgle both says FST does not measure absolute genetic distance.

I know exactly what FST means and implies. Ive been very precise about it. You have not. I don’t think you understand how this metric is calculated
