>>11664851This is another reason why we cannot compare the modern day people of Ural mountain and in northeastern Europe to the ANE populations seeing as there has been more recent migrations from East Asia to these locations. The people in these areas are now more diverse and have a higher percentage of East Asian background than before.
There is still so many things we don’t know about Ancient North Eurasians (ANE), but we do know that they are more closely related to ancient Siberians hunter gatherers. Such as Eastern European hunter gatherers and Western hunter gatherers. ANE populations are not related to East Asians.
Another important thing to note about Ancient North Eurasians (ANE) populations is that they diversified. For example, Native Americans are related to ANE populations as well as other groups. However, it does not mean that ANE populations originated from Native Americans. More research shows that Native Americans were a mix between ANE populations and older East Asian populations.
ANE populations diversified and gave rise to Europeans, Middle eastern people, Native Americans, etc. It does not mean that all these groups have the same admixtures, if that makes sense.
I can’t find any source that states Eastern Hunter gatherers were “mongoloid.” They were Mesolithic hunter gatherers from Eastern Europe. We know that Eastern hunter gatherers (they were from Eastern Europe) mixed with Caucasus hunter-gatherer to give rise to Yamnaya populations.
Yamnaya people, also having some parts of their origins from ANE populations, were a caucasian group that gave rise to modern day Middle East and Europe. Yamnaya populations are linked with Anatolian farmers, which are not that different from modern day Middle Eastern people.
