Central Anatolian farmers are similar to European farmers and close to identical to West Anatolian farmers.
Well, this seemed to be the most logical and I expected that but some people had this theory that West Anatolian farmers represent "a fusion" of early Near Eastern farmers and Fishers/H&G from the Aegean.
This theory is dead now.
There seems however to be very little difference in aDNA among Central Anatolian and West Anatolian farmers which can be logically be explained by geographic transitions. Just like there is little difference between West Anatolian farmers and Early European farmers.
