Response to Comment on "Genetic Structure of Human Populations"

Estimates of genetic variance components depend on the type of marker used, the definitions of geographic regions, the populations sampled within these regions, the relative sample sizes from the populations, and the way in which information is combined across loci. For microsatellite markers,
