My List to Isolate Natufian Admixture

[Gannicus]

I made this list to see how much Natufian I would have. Because a few months ago I learned that the neolithic Anatolians had varying degrees of Natufian admix. Some of the late neolithic anatolians from Barcin I've heard can have natufian admixtures of 20% to maybe 30%. I made this list for northwest, northeast, and central Europeans because generally populations from there when ran with traditional Steppe/ANF admixuture lists hardly ever score Natufian, leading one to believe that he/she may not have any Natufian. I think it will work for anyone though from west Eurasia though.

Here are some studies that address it:
1. Lazaridis et al. (2016): "Genomic insights into the origin of farming in the ancient Near East"
2. Feldman et al. (2019): "Late Pleistocene human genome suggests a local origin for the first farmers of central Anatolia"
3. Skoglund et al. (2017): "Ancient genomes from North Africa evidence prehistoric migrations to the Maghreb from both the Levant and Europe"
4. Broushaki et al. (2016): "Early Neolithic genomes from the eastern Fertile Crescent"

Studies like Lazaridis et al. (2016) and Feldman et al. (2019) indicate that Late Neolithic Anatolians had a greater proportion of Levantine/Natufian ancestry compared to their Early Neolithic predecessors.
While Early Neolithic Anatolians typically show ~8–10% Natufian-related ancestry, Late Neolithic Anatolians exhibit levels closer to 15–20% in some cases.
These figures are approximate and depend on specific populations studied and the reference datasets used.

Here's what I score with a traditional Steppe/ANF/WHG admixture list: https://www.exploreyourdna.com/calculator/2/g25-calculatrice-standard-global25-par-davidski.htm#google_vignette

I find these results fascinating because with the traditional list I score 41% Turkey Barcin. The late neolithic Barcin Anatolians sometimes have 20% Natufian admixture. 20% of 41% is 8.2% which is close to my score 8.8% Natufian with my list.

Also, you all can pick a different WHG like the one from Villa Bruna or a different steppe individual. The important thing is to use the Natufian and Bar8 sample.

When you go to time periods before the neolithic it gets pretty murky. Iberomarusians as I understand it can be modeled as 66%Natufian or Natufian like and 33% SSA or Ancestral North African? Hard to model at the moment because there are no official remains or ancient DNA that can be classified as Basal Eurasian too.

2. Skoglund et al. (2017): "Reconstructing prehistoric African population structure"
Key Findings:

Iberomaurusians had genetic affinities to both Levantine populations (Natufians) and ancient Sub-Saharan Africans, but a large proportion of their ancestry was from a population that could not be directly modeled using available datasets.
This unidentified North African component aligns with the concept of ANA as a distinct population.
Speculation on ANA:

Fit number is bad. Perhaps there is something to this ANA population:
