West Asians have less Basal Eurasian than Early European Farmers

Iosif Lazaridis of Lazaridis et al. 2013-2014

"EEF=WHG+Near East. To account for BE in EEF, Near East must have even more. But (Non-African admixed) modern Near East has less"

Interesting words from Iosif Lazaridis where he said via a recent tweet that Early European Farmers whom as I've often said in some manner or other are "Western European Hunter-Gatherer-related ancestry + West Asian/Near Eastern", according to him have more Basal Eurasian (BE) ancestry than non-African admixed West Asians. It's an interesting revelation on his part to say the least.

As a friend of mine states:

"He also points out that the divergent element in EEF and modern Europeans is absent not only in WHG, ANE and ENA, but also the ancient Ust'-Ishim, Oase and EHG genomes."
