Some from the linked above💡💡💡

“Importantly, in my view, the term ‘genetically similar to’ also helps to avoid the assumption of homogeneity within labels; ‘similar to’ does not imply ‘same as’. Similarity-based sample descriptors also move us some way to acknowledging the continuous nature of across 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 samples labeled Southern Asian, yet in itself this similarity does not identify them as Southern Asian, whereas stating that a person has ‘Southern Asian ’ comes much closer to making that linkage in people’s minds.
Working out the 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 , who instead need accurate sample descriptors of current day that aid clear communication.”
