Genetic distance to the newly released Sredny Stog sample

The Sredny Stog culture is commonly believed to have been ancestral to both the Corded Ware and Yamnaya cultures, making them the most likely candidate for the ”Proto Indo-European” speakers.

Note - at this point it’s still unclear whether this individual was an outlier or not.

Here’s how the new sample compares to later WSH’s and Khvalynsk

Interesting variation of the Paleolithic calculator

New West Eurasian/ Paleolithic calculator but with my own twist. Based on the calculator of WOM.

Genetic distance to early Celts of the Hallstatt and La Tène cultures (average)

Kurgan burials of the Afanasievo culture. This steppe culture traveled from Eastern Europe into Central Asia and Mongolia.

Burial position looks a lot like Yamnaya burials and a possible Sredny Stog related burial from Hungary.

Genetic distance to Globular Amphora (c. 3400–2800 BC)

The Globular Amphora culture (GAC) was a Chalcolithic culture of Central Europe, centered around modern-day Eastern Germany, Poland, and Western Ukraine. They succeeded the earlier Funnelbeaker culture in the region.

The people of this culture belonged to the Early European Farmer (EEF) genetic cluster, which is defined as a mix of Anatolian Neolithic Farmers (ANF) and Western European Hunter-Gatherers (WHG). Although, unlike most EEF groups, they also show a small signal from Eastern Hunter Gatherers (EHG). This is because local Mesolithic HG’s of Germany and Poland had slight EHG admixture.

Males of the GAC belonged to Y-haplogroup I2a, which was originally a WHG lineage. WHG lineages took predominance over ANF lineages among Northern and Western EEFs during the Late Neolithic.

The GAC was eventually replaced by the Corded Ware culture (CWC), which stemmed from a massive westward migration of WSHs. GAC represents the main source of EEF admixture among the CWC.

Made a correction to the post. The EHG signal likely came from local Central European HG’s

I should note - the map also includes the roughly 30% WHG ancestry that EHGs had

Made some major improvements to my old ”Crown Eurasian” experimental calculator:

For those wondering, Crown Eurasian refers to non-Basal West and North Eurasians.

More changes to the Paleolithic calculator:

Revised the East Asia portion. It now differentiates between ANEA (Northern East Asian) and ASEA (Southeast Asian). Also added better proxies for the Australoid and Oceanian components
