Allentoft and Iron Age Sweden

[Anglesqueville]

An error had crept into the .ind file of my working file. The Sweden_IA group did indeed contain VK523, which is Norwegian. On the other hand, VK534 was missing. Here is the model with the right individuals. Basically nothing different. The tail_prob is less impressive (why? I have no idea). On the other hand, this one is even clearer (even no need to look at the p-value of the alternative model, its tail_prob is ridiculous).

I'm taking this opportunity to make a quick clarification, since it seems that this post aroused the attention (and aggression) of someone on a well-known blog. Everyone must have noticed that I did not draw any linguistic conclusions from these models. More precisely, I resisted this temptation. If the Scandinavian individuals involved had been a few centuries older, it would undoubtedly have been different. What can we speculate from these models? I'll let you think about it. For my part, my job here was simply to publish models that were on my machine, period.
