In regards to Southwest Asian as a component, I noticed that the Natufians are a significant amount of it. Which makes me suspect that it is indeed an Anatolian_N-like ancestry being subsumed. Because Lazaridis' 2018 pre-print models Natufian as 73% Dzudzurna-like ancestry, which is highly similar to Anatolian_N. Which is perhaps why Southwest Asian is being detected in Neolithic European populations. The non-Anatolian_N part that can be distinguished as Ancestral North African-related ancestry in Natufians is possibly being detected separately, by Northwest African, East African, etc., by Dodecad K12b:
What is interesting to me as well in the PCA, is the disk that forms in the middle. I think this is formed by Dzudzuana-like ancestry being augmented by outside sources on the periphery.
