How would one know if his/her West Asian is recent or
Neolithic?
No, it's not european. Otherwise some middle-eastern would be almost fully european genetically, and plots don't show that.
Maybe we should ask if North European is a West Asian component?
Even without delving into used methodology ... What is Gedrosia?Quote:

I don't think it is as it most likely originated in West Asia or the Caucasus and probably mainly spread to Europe during the Neolithic and also at later periods in time.
West Asian as strictly a very recent Bronze age component to Europe = Dienekes wet dream/ultimate fantasy land.
Indeed I think it is likely that some of it spread to Europe during the Bronze Age especially into the Mediterranean region. Some could have also spread during the Neolithic as well though. Polako seems to think that it was probably the main component of the LBK Neolithic farmers of Central Europe.Quote:
