Half of EEF (that is not just Anatolian Neolithic but also WHG) is a lot sharing.
The movements through the Strait of Gibraltar are very old, and in both senses, anyone who tries to attribute to the "Moorish presence" in the peninsula ALL the NA contribution that the majority of the Iberian population now has to that period, is wrong. In the same way, the Iberian contribution presented by the modern populations of Morocco, especially from the north.
