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.
