Modeling the Neolithic ancestry of Modern and Ancient Europeans/West Asians using qpAdm, including ancient Greeks/Mycenaeans, Minoans, Hittites, Phoenicians, Yamnaya

Recent studies by Harvard utilized Autosomal DNA modeling techniques to analyze the genetic makeup of ancient populations, including the Cypriots, Mycenaeans, Minoans, and Levantines. However, the study did not include a analysis of modern populations. In order to make comparisons between ancient and modern populations, I personally used the same DNA modeling program to model modern populations with the DNA samples provided by Harvard.
