Figure 4

Discriminant function analysis. -test analysis of the geographic variation of each fellow traveller genetic pool from each migration route showing distance (in arbitrary map units) between Pool A or Pool B and two major routes of migration: northern and southern Persian routes (see text). Pool A was not significantly distant geographically from the northern route () but was significantly distant from the southern route () while Pool B was not significantly distant geographically from the southern route () but was significantly distant from the northern route (). This analysis confirms the association of Pool A with the northern Persian trail.
