    @joe_pickrell @ras_nielsen @3rdreviewer @jkpritch @pickrell If there are not many introgression events & they are not too old, it is better to mask them using local ancestry & then make the tree on just the frequencies of the remaining variants. Also directionality can be obtained in that case via ψ https://t.co/BgZBc9Qo0G

Abstract Synopsis

  • Polynesia was settled through incredible voyages across the vast ocean, but the specific timeline and sequence of island settlement are still debated among researchers.
  • Researchers used genetic data from 430 individuals across 21 Pacific island populations to piece together the migration history of Polynesians.
  • Their findings outline a pattern of migration starting in Samoa, spreading to various islands in a specific order, and culminating in major cultural sites like Easter Island around AD 1200.
