Map of the last location in Europe which remained genetically stagnant from the Mesolithic till the end of the Neolithic. The modern people here have easily detectable ancestry from those last hunter gatherers.
Background Info
I'm not sure if most of you are aware of this information. Modern DNA interestingly consistent with archaeology. Modern humans in what was farmer territory when Corded Ware arrived; such as Swedes and Poles, can be explained as Corded Ware+MN farmer with only minor hunter gatherer ancestry. In contrast humans in what was hunter gatherer territory when Corded Ware arrived, such as Lithuanians and Finns, score as much or more hunter gatherer than MN farmer. This geographic trend isn't a coincidence.
The Saami in Scandinavia(xthe southern tip) and Finland have the most local hunter gatherer ancestry. Several ADMIXTURE tests and D-stats confirm this. Their European side might be as much as 30% descended from Scandinavian hunter gatherers similar to the Mesolithic genomes from Motala Sweden. I won't be surprised if Uralic languages and Siberian ancestry arrived in Scandinavia less than 4,000 years ago, and so as recent as 3,500 years ago there were still people of mostly local Scandinavian hunter gatherer decent.
Fits for Far Northern Europeans and their Western/Southern Neighbors(Norse and Slavic speakers) using results from Eurogenes ADMIXTURE test Admix.8.Q.
Hunter Gatherer Territory
Corded Ware Estonia: 78% CWC Germany, 18% SwedenMN, 9% EuroHG
Modern Lithuania: 60% CWC Germany, 20% SwedenMN, 20% EuroHG
Modern Ingrain(European side): 64% CWC Germany, 15% SwedenMN, 21% EuroHG
Modern North Russia(European Side): 62% CWC Germany, 18% SwedenMN, 20% EuroHG
Modern Saami(European Side): 57% CWC Germany, 10% SwedenMN, 33% EuroHG
Farmer territory
Corded Ware Sweden: 88% CWC Germany, 12% EsperstedtMN, 0% EuroHG.
Late Corded Ware Poland: 65% CWC Germany, 27% SwedenMN, 8% EuroHG
Modern Norway: 60% CWC Germany, 35% SwedenMN, 5% EuroHG
Modern Poland: 68% CWC Germany, 25% SwedenMN, 7% EuroHG
I'll provide ancestry fits for far Northern Europeans, and others for comparison later. I am posting another result for Saami using a different method to give more evidence they have an unusually high amount of local hunter gatherer ancestry.
Here are results for Saami modelling their European side as Yamnaya+MN farmer+European Hunter gatherer using the above method and D_stats provided by Eurogenes here.

Background Info
Both archaeology and aDNA tell us that the Northern tip of Europe; Scandinavia(x the Southern tip), Finland, Karelia, Kola Peninsula, Eastern Baltic coast, Northern part of the modern country of Russia is the only region of Europe which remained as it was genetically in the Mesolithic up until the end of the Neolithic(2000s BC). Archaeology and aDNA tell us people who were a mixture of four different Mesolithic West Eurasians instead of one like the natives; Corded Ware, ended this continuum and introduced what today is the primary form of ancestry in this region of Europe.
Europe's last hunter gatherers were absorbed by Corded Ware. We know this because we can see their genes in modern people in the Northern tip of Europe. This *small* extra dose of hunter gatherer(mostly or complexly WHG) ancestry in Far Northern Europeans is why they've toped the charts in affinity to Mesolithic European genomes for years.
