Anatolian hunter-gatherers

Anatolian hunter-gatherer (AHG) is a distinct anatomically modern human archaeogenetic lineage, first identified in a 2019 study based on the remains of a single Epipaleolithic individual found in central Anatolia, radiocarbon dated to around 13,500 BCE. A population related to this individual was the main source of the ancestry of later Anatolian Neolithic Farmers (hunter gatherers who adopted farming, and later gave rise to a branch that migrated into Europe, becoming known as Early European Farmers), who along with Western Hunter Gatherers (WHG), Eastern Hunter Gatherers (EHG) and Western Steppe Herders (WSH) are one of the currently known ancestral genetic contributors to present-day Europeans.
