many of them have more ME ancestry than north africans

For central europeans countries and balkans maybe better add yamnaya also because they get higher distances?

Nah, I think the old Rocinante model with ancient components itīs better and more accurate than yours, but itīs ok.
Adamm did a very similar one, maybe mixing those 3 models...
Maybe, but most of your components are quite mixed so probably these results are not accurate, i doubt that North Italians have so ME as this indicates.
I cannot have more WHG than my mother, and my mother cannot have more Mar_EN than my father or me for example, and my mother should have scored some Levant also.
So beautiful model, but you will have work more in it.
It's not about that I don't trust you. What I'm referring to is that ''scaled overestimate the difference between East Eurasian and West Eurasian. Despite it might be good while using the ADMIXTURE method it is definitely worse on single population sharing'', to quote Kaspias, who is the most knowledgeable member about Turkish genetics here.
Because of the East Eurasian of Turks, even those in the west are getting plotted in the Caucasus, while they are very similar to the Islanders that live near them.
Just look at my scaled as an example. There's no way that I'm closer to Caucasians, Ezids, Roma's from Madrid and Kurds, who are miles far than to Greek_Kos or Greek_Central_Anatolia (basically Indigenous Anatolians) next door.

I'm not surprised, I'm simply explaining to you why I think that it is unfair to claim that the great majority of Turks are closer to Syrians than to Greeks when you use scaled, which is not a good representative when you're using it for singe population sharing. If you want to look for the distance for Turks, unscaled is clearly a better fit. I mean many of those near the Aegean coast have actual Greek heritage but would get better distances to Syrians and Caucasians, while the East Eurasian is the only thing seperating them from the Greek Islanders
I don't know enough about North Africans, so I won't talk about that but it wouldn't surprise me if there are people who are closer to (South) Europeans (Iberians in particular) than the ME.
