Підсумок	Admixture analysis is a population genetics method that infers population structure and individual ancestry from multilocus genotype data. Originally developed by Pritchard, Stephens, and Donnelly (2000) and refined by Alexander, Novembre, and Lange (2009), admixture analysis reveals how genetic variation is distributed among populations and estimates the ancestry fractions of admixed individuals. This technique is essential for understanding human evolutionary history, detecting population stratification in genetic studies, and inferring individual ancestry.	Phylogenetic Independent Contrasts (PIC) is a comparative statistical method that tests for associations between traits across species while accounting for shared evolutionary history. Developed by Joseph Felsenstein in 1985, PIC solves a fundamental problem in comparative biology: related species share traits due to common ancestry, not independent evolution, which violates the statistical assumption of independence. By comparing trait differences between sister species pairs, PIC removes the confounding effects of phylogenetic relatedness and enables robust evolutionary inferences.
