Based on work with G25 averages, we can distinguish three Pyrenean ethnic groups:
I. The Basque-Navarrese, with clear homogeneity on both sides of the mountains. Located in the Western Pyrenees.
II. The Occitans. Located in the eastern and central lands of the French Pyrenees.
III. The Catalan-Aragonese, related to the Occitans. Located in the eastern half of the Spanish Pyrenees.

These three ethnic groups share very similar EEF percentages, with an average of 55.2%.
On the contrary, there is divergence in the WHG aspect. The highest average is among the Spanish Basque-Navarrese, up to 19.8%. The lowest scores are obtained by the Northern Catalans and the Occitans (11.6% minimum in Girona, at the eastern end), while among the Aragonese it rises to 15.8% for being located in a more central position of the Pyrenees, geographically approaching the Basque-Navarrese territory.
The greatest difference is to be found in the Yamnaya component, ranging from 36% in Occitania to 23.6% in Soule (French Basque), even though these are neighbouring lands. The Catalan-Aragonese follow the Occitans, although a subtle gap is noticeable. According to my calculations, both latitudes of the Central-Eastern Pyrenees share about 48% of genetic groups for the Middle Ages.
Finally, there are some traces of Iberomaurusian in the non-Basque Spanish Pyrenean side, without exceeding 1.8% in the highest cases.
As a conclusion to this point, we can summarize that there is a genetic continuum of EEF throughout the length and breadth of the Pyrenees, but clear WHG/Yamnaya differences on the East-West axis are the cause of ethnic differentiation.
