Here are the other European Farmers to compare:

Things to notice:
- Mediterranean admixture increases during Neolithic to 55% in Central Europe to 60% in Italy and Spain. The highest level ever.
- Caucasian admixture is constantly falling during Neolithic to 20% in Central Europe and as little as 5% in Spain and 10% in Italy.
- All NE- Euro in Neolithic samples come from WHG. It steadily increases during Neolithic to 16% in Central Europe and max 24% in Spain. Higher in South than in Center of Europe is surprising and reversed should be expected. I'm looking for an explanation.
- SW Admixture is also dropping during Neolithic and more in south than in Europe center.
Remedello samples look like typical Mid/Late Neolithic EEF, with a bit of Southern flavour of lower Caucasian admixture and higher Med and NE Euro. The youngest Remedello doesn't show slightest signs of Steppe invasion yet.
Edit: I think the gross of changes happen from Early Neolithic to Mid Neolithic and stabilise till invasions of Bronze Age. And changes look like mixing in more WHG genome into farmers. Perhaps it took from Early to Mid Neolithic to "vacuum" all of the free living WHG of South and Central Europe. By Mid Neolithic WHG where all gone and changes in Farmer's genome stopped. I think some of the changes could have been from WHG's alleles of better fitness taking hold in farmers, who needed to adapt to European environment.
I posted almost the same thing on the problematic samples spin off thread
CO1 above is Baden. So, another such case. Gimbutas said it was a steppe culture. It may have a "steppe like" culture, like Remedello, but neither had "steppe ancestry".
The entrance of actual "steppe genes" was patchy in certain areas. I would guess it took a long time for things to become more homogenized.
