Recent gene flow from Africa and Near East into Europe

[MfA_]

This is pretty much bs for Anatolia-Caucasus + Sicily not a single sample been taken.. Not to mention only 1 sample for Cyprus and 2 for Greece..

Subsaharan negroids in Mongolia and China. North africans in northern Russia. And near eastern with high measurable values all over Europe.
Bollocks.

Seems like Near Eastern and North African flow didn't just stay in Southern Europe. There is shared IBD even in central and northern Europe, although a lot less and not everywhere.
Somebody pointed that Hungary looks even more influenced by North African flow than France is here.

I can't find those three maps in your opening post in a study of Botigué et al. Did Davidski made them?

The first two of them are in the original study, the third one is the Figure S7 on the Supplementary Information file you linked.

Can someone explain these maps in %-1-100 for Spain? I do not understand a shit what these numbers mean.

They estimated Southwestern Europeans to have between 4%-20% of their genomes belonging to an ancestral North African cluster.

The original article adresses dieneke's critics.

i)The study does not assume that the source population are unadmixed to estimate the results.
ii)Although IBD sharing does not indicate the direction of gene flow, they observed that the highest IBD sharing between Iberians and North Africans are with North Africans population who lack significant european admixture, for example, Andalucians and Tunisians have a significant IBD sharing but Tunisians have negligible european ancestry. So it supports the idea that the gene flow was from North Africa to Europe rather than from Europe to North Africa.

According to the study Basques are an exception and have similar levels of admixture as other europeans.
