Contribution
It introduces a framework for understanding genetic ancestry as a continuous, multidimensional construct rather than discrete categories.
Findings
Supports multidimensional ancestry models over categorical ones
Highlights ethical implications of ancestry classification
Proposes methods for more accurate ancestry representation
Abstract
There is a scientific and ethical imperative to embrace a multidimensional, continuous view of ancestry and move away from continental ancestry categories
