Data

  • The population counts and labels are from here
  • The super population labels are from here (pasted into a csv, then location was inferred)

Result

New version

Some deviation, see comment below.

Reason for deviation from the original

There are many populations for which the current location is the same as the ancestry, e.g. TSI (Toscani in Italy(. But others, such as ITU (Indian Telugu from the UK) are living in the UK. E.g. CEU is difficult to pin down with a single location in Europe.
