Dear colleagues,

I want to calculate genetic distances between human populations by using frequencies of Y-DNA-haplogroups, to investigate genetic/evolutionary causes for differences in polygenetic psychological traits e.g. depression, ASB and cognitive abilities.

HG-frequencies are collected and compared in a meta-analysis. Now I found many analogical formulas to calculate genetic distances in literature (e.g. Cavalli-Sforze chord distance; Cavalli-Sforze and Edwards chord distance; Nei distance; Bhattacharyya and Nei distance; Rogers distance; Reynolds distance etc.) and I want to ask, which formula is most suitable for my purposes?

Thanks in advance, David.
