Is EEF/Anatolian Farmer a mix of ENF and WHG?

[Ajeje Brazorf]

EEF = 54.4% CHG + 24.2% Taforalt + 21.4% WHG

[Maguzanci]

EEF/Anatolian Farmer is 30-38% WHG and 62-70% Natufian, AFAIK.

But i heard natufian has a lot of tarofalt/ANA?

Why do people continued to use mixed pops like Anatolian Farmer when they could use Natufian and WHG instead to model European?

So it looks like EEF has a lot of ancient European admix (WHG)?

Accordingly, we find that Iron Gates HG can be modeled as a three-way mixture of Near-Eastern hunter-gatherers (25.8 ± 5.0 % AHG or 11.1 ± 2.2 % Natufian), WHG (62.9 ± 7.4% or 78.0 ± 4.6%, respectively) and EHG (11.3 ± 3.3% or 10.9 ± 3%, respectively)

Interestingly, while we observe a continued presence of the AHG-related gene pool throughout the studied period, a pattern of genetic interactions with neighboring regions is evident from as early as the Late Pleistocene and early Holocene. In addition to the local genetic contribution from earlier Anatolian populations, Anatolian Aceramic farmers inherit about 10% of their genes from a gene pool related to the Neolithic Iran/Caucasus while later ACF derive about 20% of their genes from another distinct gene pool related to the Neolithic Levant.

Conclusion: you can't simply replace Anatolian with WHG and Natufian.

Not sure but I think it is because Europeans do not have direct Natufian ancestry. In other words, Natufians might have migrated to Europe after mixing with WHG.
