Genetic distance to Mesolithic Western European Hunter-Gatherers (WHG)
The WHG, or Oberkassel cluster, inhabited Western and Central Europe during the Mesolithic.
The bulk of their ancestry was derived from the Epigravettians, who lived in Italy and the Balkans during the Late Paleolithic. The rest of their ancestry was derived from the Paleolithic European Magdalenian cluster, whom the WHGs replaced between 14,000 - 11,000 ybp.
The WHG were important genetic contributors to many other Mesolithic European groups, including Iron Gates HG (~80-85%), Baltic HG (~75-85%), Scandinavian HG (~55-70%), Ukraine Mesolithic (~50%), and Eastern HG (~30-35%).
WHGs overwhelmingly belonged to Y-DNA I2, with a small minority of R1b. Regarding mtDNA, they were mainly U5, with a small amount of U4, H, and K.

For reference, the ”I1” Mesolithic Swede is actually pre-I1, I-Z2699

Maps showing shared drift between Kostenki14 and modern populations
K14 is dated to roughly 37000 ybp and is associated with the Aurignacian culture of Upper Paleolithic Europe. He belonged to Y-DNA C1b.
A group similar to him contributed ancestry to Vestonice cluster Gravettians, Ancient North Siberians/Ancient North Eurasians, and Epigravettians.

Revised map of Sidelkino (EHG) ancestry in modern Europeans 🦌🎣
The Sidelkino cluster formed roughly 15kya as a mixture between Ancient North Eurasians and Epigravettian hunter-gatherers of the Balkans.
Y-DNA lineages include forms of R1a, R1b, Q1, and J1.
mtDNA lineages include U2, U4, U5, R1b, and C1.
The Sidelkino cluster were important genetic contributors to both the Yamnaya cluster and early Finno-Ugric speakers during the Bronze Age.
