I just added all the possibilities and let the algorithm choose the best fit.<br /><br />Usually I wouldn't trust much one single results (after all, all Neolithic Europeans were similar enough to make it difficult to distinguish with enough precision), but here I run all the individual samples (and those are a lot already) and the pattern of high Iberia_ChL was pretty consistent across the board.<br /><br />Now, I've always been quite sceptic about an actual migration out of Iberia, but for no strong reason. Maybe, just maybe, if many other populations (from the Caucasus, Anatolia, Iran, Balkans, steppe,...) were moving around, why not the ones from Iberia, that clearly took off in the Chalcolithic becoming the most important area in Western Europe? So I'd say my position is now neutral: awaiting for further data.<br /><br />@Olympus Mons (if you ever get to read this)<br /><br />Thanks for bringing this to my attention, and thanks for the other comments, much appreciated. I managed to read them before they got deleted (why??).<br /><br />I moved to my own place where my opinions won't bother anyone, I hope.
