Portuguese (and Galician) would be about 11% Moorish (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-018-08272-w) on average. The Moorish would not have been 100% Iberomaurusian though, meaning generally less than 10% of Iberomaurusian-like ancestry in modern Portuguese.^^It is actually not that much more than the Portuguese average.

Try to add SSA and NA sources, in order to see how the model behaves.

Natufians did not, they had 27% according to the Lazaridis model.
Natufians are intermediate between TAF (Iberomarusian) and Levant_N on PCAs I have created. This is consistent with the Lazaridis Pre-Print. That takes a lot more than just trace amounts.
What makes the Levant unique is that they have this critical mass of ANA.
Also, I am not understanding the standard you are going by, "usual European range" we are talking about ultimate source populations, so I don't see why you're hung up on this.
27% ANA is trace to you?!
Also, the zoom you have on the PCA you made is irrelevant.
Its just lne of many possible models at the moment. Without new samples and methods, we don't know which one is real.
27% Taforalt-like (Iberumaurusian) , take a look at the chart.
Taforlat was only half ANA according to Lazaridis. that would mean Natufians were something between 12-13% ANA and in modern Levantines it would be around 6%. if Lazaridis is right of course. in that new study from Patterson they modeled Anatolia neolithic as a mix of anatolian HG and levantine neolithic. there seems to be some scope of interpretation.
I made another thread based on the question, it seems that it depends on the existence of Basal Eurasians.

Patterson makes no mention of them in his pre-print, so maybe he is just operating with what is currently available, as no one has found basal Eurasians yet. If they do exist.
From my recollection, Marchi et al. 2021 pre-print is the study that puts forward the model without Basal Eurasians. I have linked it in the other thread.
Well, we have physical phenotype continuity in the Near East, by and large, from the earlier period into Natufians. There are so far no samples at all from much of the Near East and North West Africa, especially not from areas of Egypt, Sinai, Southern Levante and Arabia, especially Yemen. Like some papers argued, the Persian Gulf and/or Southern Arabia are prime areas to look at for Basal Eurasians. If they exist, the very admixture of ANA proper into Natufians might go down to sheer trace levels, which was my point all the time. We need actual samples from the candidate regions for Basal Eurasians in pre-Natufian times. Anything else won't really solve this once and for all.
Morocco EN is almost entirely Iberomaurusian-like, but not the Morocco LN.Adding ancient samples from Marocco_EN/LN, Guanche, Cameroon, Kenya, Malawi, Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, South Africa. Distance between columns = 0.25x, not to get too pulverized.
