Anatolia_N	Anatolian farmer-related: Represented by 7^th millennium BCE western Anatolian farmers (19)
Ganj_Dareh_N	Iranian early farmer-related: Represented by 8^th millennium BCE early goat herders from the Zagros Mountains of Iran (9, 24)
WEHG	Western European Hunter-Gatherer-related: represented by 9^th millennium BCE Western Europeans (7, 19, 32, 69). (WEHG and EEHG discussed below were denoted WHG and EHG in previous studies, but as we co-analyze them with hunter-gatherers from Asia we modify the names to specify a European origin.)
EEHG	Eastern European Hunter-Gatherer-related: represented by 6^th millennium BCE hunter-gatherers from Eastern Europe (19, 32)
WSHG	West Siberian Hunter-Gatherer-related: a previously undescribed deep source of Eurasian ancestry represented in this study by three individuals from the Forest Zone of Central Russia dated to the 6^th millennium BCE.
ESHG	East Siberian Hunter-Gather-related: represented by 6^th millennium BCE hunter-gatherers from the Lake Baikal region with ancestry deeply related to East Asians (26)
AHG	Andamanese Hunter-Gatherer-related: represented by present day indigenous Andaman Islanders (55) who we hypothesize are related to unsampled indigenous South Asians (Ancient Ancestral South Indians - AASI)
