Similarity-based sample descriptors also move us some way to acknowledging the continuous nature of <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/geneticvariation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>geneticvariation</span></a> across <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/humangroups" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>humangroups</span></a> in our sample descriptions. I am more genetically similar to some samples than I am to others, but that does not imply that there are natural groupings. Nor do similarity-based labels imply how I, as an individual, might choose to identify or what distribution of environments I might experience. For example, a person may be genetically similar to 1000 <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Genomes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Genomes</span></a> samples labeled Southern Asian, yet in itself this similarity does not identify them as Southern Asian, whereas stating that a person has ‘Southern Asian <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/geneticancestry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>geneticancestry</span></a> ’ comes much closer to making that linkage in people’s minds.<br>Working out the <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/genealogicalhistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>genealogicalhistory</span></a> of individuals and of groups of people from around the world is a fascinating area of research, but it should not be the day job of the majority of researchers in the field of <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/humangenetics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>humangenetics</span></a> , who instead need accurate sample descriptors of current day <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/geneticdiversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>geneticdiversity</span></a> that aid clear communication.” <br>END OF EXCERPT </p><p>~ </p><p>Adding colour to <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/discourse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>discourse</span></a> with this screenshot attachment and link.
