I'm afraid you're the one who is confused. EEF means Early European Farmers. They were a mix of Anatolian farmers with a small extra addition of WHG picked up in Europe.
Anatolian farmers were a combination of Levant Neo plus what used to be called Unknown Hunger Gatherer (UHG), but which Patterson says was basically just WHG. They also had some CHG/Iranian Neolithic in them which DATES, the new dating algorithm, says arrived around 9600 BCE. Dienekes knew that years and years ago when he found it in Otzi. If you go back and look at some of the modeling Jovialis has done you'll see it in Balkan Neolithic.
There was a later, much larger pulse of ancestry from the Caucasus during the Bronze Age which affected all of the Near East and even made its way into Europe, but it had obviously been trickling south and west even before the adoption of agriculture
None of this is new; it's just that we now have more precise dates for it.
I realize EEF has WHG in it, but I wasn't aware that they had CHG in them already prior to the Bronze Age CHG signal.
