Demographic modelling for African and non-African populations does not support admixture-back-to-Africa model. a Statistical support for four demographic models. Log likelihood indicates likelihood of data given each model, with higher values corresponding to better fit. Lower Akaike information criterion (AIC) values indicate better support for model (AIC = 2d – 2(Log Likelihood), where d is the number of model parameters estimated). b Admixture analysis of data simulated under best-fit demographic model generates evidence for mixed ancestry in Senegal Urban similar to Fig. 2, despite including no admixture in model. Five thousand 500-bp exons were simulated using fastsimcoal2 and analysed using admixture [67]. c Schematic representing the maximum likelihood estimated model. Parameters are effective population sizes, and times when populations split or changed in size. d Confidence intervals (CIs) for model parameters
