This first approximation to the data indicates a significant genetic diversity within the studied individuals (Fig. 3: Eurasian PCA with the ancient individuals from Ibiza (excluding the two Sub-Saharan African individuals). Inset: zoom-in on the ancient individuals, with ancient Iberian references ordered by estimated date. However, we acknowledge the limitations of this approach: since the Luhya are a Bantu-speaking group with predominantly West African ancestry and limited East African admixture, they are not fully representative of East African ancestry. Specifically, individual s.117 exhibited a mix of Luhya and West African ancestries, while individual s.197 showed predominantly West African ancestry (Fig.
