ANE stands for ''Ancient North Eurasian'' not ''Ancestral Northern European''.

I also think that this UHG component is probably the main source of WHG like admixture in the EEF component from Laz. I do not know where it comes from though. Did the UHG component become part of the EEF component by admixture with Mesolithic hunter-gatherers in the Balkans? Or was it also part of the early Neolithic farmers genomes from the Fertile Crescent even if it was a minor component among them?

So ENFs were most similar to modern Middle Easterners while EEFs were a mix of ENF's and HGs? EEF's were basically a group which originated somewhere in Europe, presumebly SE Europe.
