We generated simulated data, by taking a trifurcation between populations (A,B,D) 100 generations ago. Population C is a recent admixture of A and B. The mixing proportion of A in an individual from C is Beta-distributed B(3.5,1.5) so that the average contribution of population A in an individual of population C is .7 (see Figure 7). Effective population sizes are 10,000 for each population. We then simulated data for 10,000 unlinked markers (more details are in the Methods section). FST between any pair of A,B,D is .005. We are attempting to mimic the data of Figure 5, and chose to run our analysis on simulated samples from populations B,C,D, not using samples from A. We expect two significant eigenvalues corresponding to the splits of populations B,C, and D. If population A is included in the analysis, we also get just two significant eigenvalues, as predicted by theory. This is what is observed (unpublished data), with, as predicted, the admixed population not adding to the number of axes of variation (the third eigenvalue is not significant). In Figure 8 we show
