That was an observation from other sources.<br /><br />I don't agree with your conclusions on percentage Mesolithic in most modern populations, because WHG includes post-LGM ancestry.andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08172964121659914379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7315236707728759521.post-51317609494513792652015-03-29T21:07:04.364-06:002015-03-29T21:07:04.364-06:00"Thus, modern humans only barely hung on thro..."Thus, modern humans only barely hung on through the Ice Age in Europe, and ultimately, their ancestry makes up a fairly modest share of modern European ancestry."<br /><br />This was not in the article. Their small population size has nothing to do with modern Euros not being 100% descended from them. Migrations from the Middle East is why. <br /><br />Balts are over 50% WHG and possibly as much as 75% of Mesolithic origin, and if you include SHG and EHG many other Euros can fit as 50% or more of Mesolithic origin.
