Sorry for asking. But I am a noob.

Anatolia-ENF was best modeled as 98% 26kya Dzudzuana (Georgia) + 2% Baikal-EN (Siberian) using qpAdm (formal stats) by Lazaridis et al, 2018 in "Paleolithic DNA from the Caucasus reveals core of West Eurasian ancestry"


Dzudzuana: Our analysis identifies Dzudzuana-related ancestry as the most important component of
West Eurasians and the one that is found across West Eurasian-North African populations at ~46-88%
levels. Thus, Dzudzuana-related ancestry can be viewed as the common core of the ancestry of West
Eurasian-North African populations. Its distribution reaches its minima in northern Europe and
appears to be complementary to that of Villabruna, being most strongly represented in North Africa,
the Near East (including the Caucasus) and Mediterranean Europe. Our results here are expected from
those of Supplementary Information section 3 in which we modeled ancient Near Eastern/North
African populations (the principal ancestors of present-day people from the same regions) as deriving
much of their ancestry from a Dzudzuana-related source. Migrations from the Near East/Caucasus
associated with the spread of the Neolithic, but also the formation of steppe populations 2,16 introduced
51most of the Dzudzuana-related ancestry present in Europe, although (as we have seen above) some
such ancestry was already present in some pre-agricultural hunter-gatherers in Europe.

So no Villabruna or WHG. Dzudzuana also has quite a bit of Basal Eurasian.
