David Reich speech on ancient dna

View attachment 8750

the Ghassulians (4500-3500 aprox) were composed of 60% Natufian/PPNA, 20% Anatolian farmer, 20% Iran_Chalco (from 22 samples); let's see what Y-DNA had. Reich says that such pop was a dead end (I think by their Anatolian component as it don't appears in BA Sidon?), but precisely in the recent paper about BA Levant they state that Levant_Neo was 1/3 Anatolia_Neo, 2/3 Natufian (figure 4)... maybe I miss something?
 
Thanks for the link. It was very informative for a beginner in this field like I am. I can understand some interpretations I read in this forum much better now.
