Current Europeans are not the "original" Europeans (WHG), but an admixture of WHG, Yamnaya and Anatolian farmers. It seems a similar process of admixture occurred in many other civilisations.
One of the conclusions is that the current people in an area do not need to be the same kind of people of a civilisation that happened in the same area, but in a previous time.
For example, is it known if current people in Anatolia are similar to the Anatolian farmers that constitute now the Europeans? (I assume the best proxy are the current Sardinians, but I am not sure).
Other questions: who were the Mesopotamians, who created the first civilisation? And who were the first agricultural people in the Fertile Crescent?
In other words, is it possible to say something like "30% of current group X, 45% of current group Y and 25% of current group Z" are the closest match to say the people that created the first civilisation in Mesopotamia? (so, the inverse process, in the time sense, of saying that current Europeans are a mixture of WHG, Yamnaya and Anatolian farmers).
