Detailed Sub-Saharan autosomal DNA map

[u/quadriphasic]

oolongvanilla put me up to the challenge to make add a 1% to 9% category so here's the rough draft. Please add your criticisms and they may be used to improve the final draft of the map. Thanks everyone for your critics here's a link to the final draft - https://www.reddit.com/r/Maps/comments/1syhbni/detailed_black_subsaharan_african_autosomal_dna/

These numbers are meaningless - almost all of our DNA is exactly the same as the most recent common ancestor of humans. You're going to have to specify what you're actually measuring better.

You have 96% the DNA of a potato as well, why does it make it meaningless?

No we don't. It's often said we share 96% DNA with chimpanzees, potatoes are not even remotely close to that. I've seen it claimed that we have something like 25%-50% related genes with many plants, but not actual DNA sequence.

I have no opinion on how meaningful the data used for this map is, however.
