Present Europeans descend from WHG contributing to all but not Near Easterners. ANE contributes to Europeans and Near Easterners. EEF mainly Near Eastern origin harbors WHG ancestry. EEF carries 44% Basal Eurasian ancestry split before other non-Africans. Basal Eurasians unrelated to recent African gene flow. Three sources explain most Europeans rejecting two-source model. Northern Europeans up to 50% WHG beyond EEF component. Southern Europeans up to 90% EEF ancestry. No WHG in Near East but up to 29% ANE in Caucasus. ANE absent in Neolithic central-western Europe farmers and hunter-gatherers. Scandinavian hunter-gatherers 19% ANE plus 81% WHG. Loschbour shows lowest heterozygosity from ancient bottleneck. Hunter-gatherers low AMY1 copies for low-starch diet, farmer 16 copies. Hunter-gatherers dark hair blue eyes lack SLC24A5 light skin allele. Stuttgart farmer brown eyes carries SLC24A5. Pre-agricultural European males carry Y-haplogroup I.
