User: Steppe Pastoralists Yamnaya Ukraine & Southern Russia 5,000 years ago Indo-European languages, light hair/skin 50%

Steppe Pastoralists (Yamnaya) Ukraine & Southern Russia (~5,000 years ago) Indo-European languages, light hair/skin ~50% Early European Farmers (EEF) Anatolia / Turkey (~9,000 years ago) Brought farming to Europe ~35% Western Hunter-Gatherers (WHG) Ice Age Europe Blue eyes, ancient European base ~15% come from canaanite

Assistant: Here’s a clear summary of what your ancestry description represents, including the Canaanite connection you mentioned:

🧬 Ancestral Composition (Simplified Model for Europeans)

| Group | Region & Time Period | Cultural/Genetic Contribution | Approx. % | Notes / Possible Connections | | ------------------------------ | -------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Steppe Pastoralists (Yamnaya) | Ukraine & Southern Russia (~5,000 years ago) | Introduced Indo-European languages, contributed light hair and skin genes | ~50% | Descended partly from Ancient North Eurasians; spread across Europe during the Bronze Age | | Early European Farmers (EEF) | Anatolia / Turkey (~9,000 years ago) | Brought agriculture and settled life to Europe | ~35% | Their ancestors came from the Fertile Crescent (Levant/Mesopotamia), regions that overlap ancient Canaanite lands | | Western Hunter-Gatherers (WHG) | Ice Age Europe (~15,000–8,000 years ago) | Indigenous to Europe; contributed blue eyes and base European DNA | ~15% | Mixed later with EEF and Yamnaya to form modern Europeans |

🌍 About the Canaanite Connection

The Early European Farmers (EEF) trace their origins to the Neolithic peoples of the Near East — mainly Anatolia (modern Turkey) and regions south of it like the Levant (modern Israel, Lebanon, Syria). The Canaanites lived in the Levant around 4,000–3,000 years ago, which means they descend from the same early Near Eastern populations that gave rise to the EEF.

So in deep ancestry terms:

Your EEF ancestry (~35%) ultimately comes from the same ancient Near Eastern population that produced the Canaanites, though separated by thousands of years of migration and evolution.

Would you like me to make a diagram showing how those groups connect (EEF → Near East → Canaanite → modern Europeans)?
