English: MDS of 2 Tocaña individuals (TOC1, TOC2) against 57 datasets representing different sub-continental African regions. One population of European ancestry (CEU) from 1000G were used for reference. See Additional file 1 for more information on population datasets. The plot of Dimension 1 and Dimension 2 displays a triangular arrangement, with the vertexes attracting South Africans (although very dispersed in the triangle denoting admixture with other African groups), North Africans (with clear affinities to Europeans; here represented by CEU), and West-Central Africans. East Africans scatter along the side of the triangle that connects West-Central Africans to North Africans. South-East Africans plot very close to the vertex occupied by the West-Central African samples with some projection into the South and East African poles as corresponds with their admixed history. The two individuals from Tocaña locate in between the West-Central pole and to East Africans.
