Somebody asked me for quick genetic data for responding to questions like "Are Georgians White?"
You basically need two things:
1. A principal component analysis, which shows genetic clustering. As you can see on this PCA, Europeans form a cluster that is distinct from West Asians.
2. An admixture analysis, which shows how much ancestry modern populations inherited from ancient populations. Whites almost entirely descend from European Hunter-Gatherers, Anatolian Farmers, and European steppe herders (Yamnaya-related peoples).
You could supplement this with a PCA of ancient populations but that's probably not necessary.

- Modern West Eurasia PCA
- Ancient West Eurasia PCA
- Supervised admixture analysis of modern West Eurasians
- Unsupervised admixture analysis of entire modern human species.
