Western European hunter-gatherers outlasted the icy blast in the past. Easterners got replaced by migrations of newcomers. That’s the implication of the largest study to date of ancient Europeans’ DNA.

So West European was also that Old Europe destroyed by the newcomers, Indo-European tribes?

Indo-Europeans arrived on the scene 10,000 years after the replacement this study is talking about. Basically people from the Balkans moved into a de-populated italy while the ice sheets retreated.

They didn't mention at all how much downstream admixture there is.

It seems like this article is implying that the one of the 3 main genetic components of Europeans (WHG, ESH, EEF) should actually be split in 2; that the Western Hunter Gatherers is comprised of 2 distinctly different groups circa 14000 bc.

EEF's didn't move in for 8000 years (at least), ESH's were 11000 years away. Did these two groups mix or did they remain genetically distinct?

Read the article. But south-west Asia. However, "newcomers"... we were all newcomers from the Neanderthal and Denisovan perspective at the time. And many more movements would follow.

The Balkans. Light skin possibly emerged only after the time this study covers.
