"Farmer shifted Tuscans" 3 of them are, yes, the other 5 red squares are closer to N. Italians than Tuscans, but "farmer shifted Tuscans" is just nitpicking here and you're basically agreeing with my point. The copper age ones are all N. Italian.
There are literally no samples from southern Bulgaria, not sure why you said that. They're all on the Romanian border, and there's not much difference between Bulgarian samples and far northern Croatian ones.
I didn't claim modern Balkanites are BA Balkanites+Turks, those are Faklon's words. I didn't even suggest a source. All I said was they were N. Italian, or not modern Balkanites. You basically agreed you can't get modern Bulgarians from BA Bulgarians+modern Balto-Slavs, so we're on the same page. Lots of potential other populations. Yamnaya(although seems unlikely as the initial Yamnaya push had already happened and Yamnaya didn't exist in the late bronze age anymore), the Iron Age Scythian from Hungary who was pretty south-eastern compared to Europeans, copper age Anatolians, etc. Doesn't have to be Turks, doesn't make them anyless southern shifted though.
