South American Hunter-Gatherer?

In G25 models, the South_American_Hunter-Gatherer component doesnโt mean real South American ancestry. It usually appears as a proxy for Ancient North Eurasian (ANE) ancestry, which is shared with Siberian and early Turkic-related populations. When the model lacks the exact Siberian references, it sometimes pulls in a small amount of South_American_Hunter-Gatherer instead

Alternative model with Mesopotamian farmers, who are much more likely to have been involved than Anatolian farmers, archaeologically speaking: https://i.imgur.com/YnswdGL.png
