No, just that Neolithic farmers came from the middle east not too long ago (4,000 years ago maybe?). That's why it probably shows such high 'farmer' for you. You will share some DNA with the people who left to go Europe 4,000 years ago.

What you don't have though is any hunter gatherer, which arrived in Europe even longer ago.

This FTDNA feature should just be plainly ignored.

It's a bad test, I also get 100% European on it even though I am part Iraqi. It assumes all EEF/ENF type admixture (the Middle Eastern farmers who colonised Europe around 7,000 years ago) is European. This is incorrect.
