according to figure 4a NW Anatolian Neo is a mixture of 39 % Iran Neo + 34 % Levant Neo + 27 % WHG (which was probably native along the Marmara Sea shores)
now I think there was another important unknown component which I refer to as 'the common ancestor of Anatolian and European Neo'
this common ancestor of Anatolian and European Neo has a lot of G2a2 which has nowhere been found in this study
http://journals.plos.org/plosone/art...l.pone.0099845
The common ancestor came along the sea.
And that both NW Anatolian and European neolithic are very related genectically, you can see in PCA charts.
this map actually shows 2 migrations to NW Anatolia ca 6500 BC
one overseas with ovicaprids
one overland via Catal Hoyuk with cattle (Bos)
and onother with pig ca 5800 BC ; I've read somewhere these were cardial ware people
the 'Anatolian Neolithic' samples have only 2 sources : Barcin and Mentese
and are all from a narrow period, 6500-6200 BC
this study says clearly epipaleolithic people were present before the first farmers arrived

I take it these epipaleolithic people account for the haplogroup I found
This is what I think some of the commentary about this paper has been missing. I think there's also some unwarranted conclusions being drawn, in my opinion. The Paschou et al paper was criticized in some quarters because it was only based on modern mtDna, but it did trace some of this movement up the coast, which is partially highlighted in your map, and I think it may turn out that it had some insights to offer about the timing of the early movements into the Aegean, which were earlier in some cases than the settlements around the Sea of Marmara. Whether they were correct about there being a movement into the Islands and then a bifurcation either by sea west or into the Balkans, or whether there was also some movement directly from Anatolia north is another issue.
An agricultural "package" of all these animals, pulses, and grains as well moved north along the coast from that juncture point between the northern Levant and southeastern Anatolia. From there, indeed, there was some early movement into Cyprus before some of the animals were actually domesticated. That is one of the places in Anatolia from which we have as yet no ancient dna. I think it may turn out that not only do we see a rather "complete package" at that point and by that time, but the "admixtures", or most of them, may have already taken place.
Perhaps that is where we will find G2a, or at least some of it? Perhaps the G2a came from further in the interior of Anatolia? Maybe they were more "Iranian Neolithic like", or at least had some influence from them. As per Bicicleur's comment in the prior post, there seems to have been movement of Natufians to near by areas. Some "G" went to the Caucasus, but some of them may have mingled with Natufians. Maybe they were just very adventurous, or maybe there was conflict with "E" heavy populations and they moved up the coast and then at some point took to the sea, eventually moving extraordinarily long distances all the way to Iberia. Ancient dna will have to give us the answers.
That leaves the WHG to be explained. I agree about the Epipaleolithic people in that area probably being yDna "I", but I think they may have been more widespread, or it may have diffused further. Or, as the agriculturalists moved north along the coast, they may have absorbed more "WHG Like" people.
As I said at the time the Paschou paper came out, it may be that far from being the source of the "Anatolian Neolithic" in Europe, the Marmara region people actually were on the receiving end of that migration, which got to them at about the same time it arrived at some places in the Aegean. Of course, further migration into Europe could have taken off from that point later.
Here is the Eupedia thread on Paschou et al, where much of this is discussed:

Post number 17 has a map of the sea currents in the Mediterranean, which show how a good part of the agriculturalists might have navigated the Mediterranean to head farther west.
These maps show some of the dating for these sites although they seem to change periodically...

This site has some interesting information on the Greek Neolithic:

This map is interesting as well as it shows the narrow band in which they moved, which makes sense because their agricultural package was adapted to this kind of climate.
