a Predominant occurrence of the Common Haplotypes (Yin, Yang, and Mosaic) among the African, Asian, and European populations. Occurrences of Yin, Yang, and Mosaic haplotypes were computed on each continent and then normalized (see M & M) to account for the uneven population sizes from the different continents. Predominance was determined by the highest normalized occurrence of the respective common haplotype in a segment. b and c Abundance of ancestral haplotypes in the continents. Rare, uncommon, and common haplotypes were determined by the number of matches to the ancestral haplotype out of 1092 individuals in a segment. Rare was classified as an ancestral haplotype, with only 1–3 matches in the segment, Uncommon was classified as 4–100 matches, and common was >100 matches. b For continent specificity, uncommon and rare haplotypes were defined as continent-specific if >90% of matches were found in a specific continent. Rare haplotypes were defined as continent-specific if 100% of matches were found in a specific continent. Multi-Continent means there was no continent specificity and matches to the ancestral haplotype were found on two or more continents. c Figure B represents the continents where ancestral haplotypes are absent (shows less than 1% match) for all the three types of haplotypes i.e. Rare, Uncommon, and Common haplotypes
