What it tells me is that male invaders can come in but their overall genetic contributions gets diluted over time.
I think that is a very plausible explanation. So a Y-DNA Haplogroup that may have entered thousands of years ago in and off it self can't totally explain closest genetic affinity I think you and I are in agreement it seems. Otherwise, I would plot near modern European populations North of the Alps, maybe as far as Scandanavia given my Y-DNA Haplogroup (I-M223). Far as I know, I may have a surviving lineage from some WHG, although I like most modern Italians are not going to have predominate WHG type ancestry based on what Raveane et al 2019 (Figure 2) documented. I don't know if there are any good calculators that model WHG, EHG, CHG, EEF, Iran Neolithic, etc that are out there. The only one I am aware of is the Eurogenes Hunter vs. Farmer calculator but I don't know who the Moderators and Advisors view it here so I have never posted anything from it. Do you know of any good calculators for European Farmer vs. Hunter Gather? What is your view of the Eurogenes Hunter Gather vs. European Farmer calculator?
One thing I personally have an issue with it is that it uses Baltic Hunter Gather, which I would think is more EHG related, to proxy for all Hunter Gather ancestries in Europe. Well the number I get on that one is too high for me for Baltic Hunter Gather, I would think mine would be WHG/CHG related, which while related to EHG way back, was a distinct lineage by the Ice Age, best I can tell from what I have read over the years.
