New Global Genetic Maps

I often emphasize the famous color map of the major races on the cover of Cavalli-Sforza's History and Geography of Human Genes, since that book remains the standard work of population genetics. Yet, it was published back in 1994, and data collection for it was halted way back in 1986, before modern DNA analyses came on line.

Fortunately, a blogger calling himself NuSapiens has constructed a number of attractive maps out of more recent DNA data. I don't see any massive disagreements with Cavalli-Sforza's old map, but they display a lot of interesting new detail.
