Abstract
A common sample descriptor in human genomics studies is that of 'genetic
ancestry group', with terms such as 'European genetic ancestry' or 'East Asian
genetic ancestry' frequently used in publications to describe the genetics of
groups of individuals based on the analysis of their genotypes. In this
Perspective, I argue that these terms are imprecise and potentially misleading
and that, for most applications, simple statements of genetic similarity
represent a more accurate description.
