No it wouldn't be more useful because Levant Neo itself is still 40% WHG like. So it's not like Levant farmers were Basal Eurasian proto farmers and mixed with Anatolian HG. In fact Basal Eurasian came to Levant and Anatolia either from the south coast of Iran, Persian Gulf or Arabia. Those HG mixed with the Anatolian and Levant HG and created the new Farmers. The only difference from Anatolian farmers to Levant farmers is the propotion of Basal Eurasian vs WHG like admixture. You can split the component always further back, the only question is at which point does it still matter?
breaking DNA in components is the rule in some way, OK. But if serious surveys don't take the same criteria when speaking of the same pops because they don't take the same screen "resolution", a lot of our discussions are weakly based. It was just my remark.
I repeat we cannot put Lazaridis and Allentoft shoulder to shoulder, by example.
