We might keep it with "Mari-associated drift" or something similar, instead of ancestry. You can get a list of Siberian Uralic by subtracting specific populations, e. g.: Distance difference: ( AC - BC ) ↓ A: Lithuanian_PZ:LTG-1099 B: Western_Arctic:Mari08 C: ↴ 0.08164449 Mari 0.03700537...

Those were just the first 25 populations, which is the standard setting. Erzya rank 28th, Estonians are at position 51 and Hungarians at 53, with a host of other Finnic, Turkic and some other East European populations in between. Beyond that point, the results become more varied. It seems...

There has been previous discussion on a type of autosomal drift, similar in behavior to Balto-Slavic drift, common to all Uralic-speaking populations, and which is especially pronounced in Mari and Chuvash people. Using the distance measure on the available Mari samples, you'll essentially get...
