The dotted line is predicted by theory. The x’s are [measured-population-allele-frequency, probabity-that-the-allele-is-ancestral] pairs for various human alleles. (An ancestral allele in a population is the allele that was carried by the most recent common ancestor of the population). This is just one prediction borne out in this article.
