Artistic Reconstruction of a male of the Bronze Age Fatyanovo culture. They were the result of an early eastward migration of the Corded Ware after admixing with the Globular Amphora culture (from which their pottery shows influences). They are the earliest group to have y haplogroup R1a-Z93 which is common in modern Indo-Iranian speakers.

They lived in the forests of western Russia and had an economy of pastoralism however it was not as mobile as the Yamnaya. Weapons included the classic CWC stone axe but later also ones made of metal. Bears seemed to hold importance to them as some axes had the shape of a bear head carved into it along with ornaments made of bear claws and teeth. They later would develop the Abashevo culture which is the ancestor of the Sintashta and the Srubnaya.

Genetic Breakdown of Evensås Man (NEO260)

~66% WHG
~34% EHG


The individual was directly dated to 4232–3982 cal BCE and 3963–3781 cal BCE (rescorr), placing him in the Early Neolithic. However, no indications of a Neolithic diet were observed in the isotope values.


He belonged to Y-Haplogroup I-Z26435 (I2a2a2a1~) and mt-Haplogroup R1b1.


Discovered in 1930 at Evensås, Skaftö 85, Bohuslän, Sweden. He was an adult male estimated to be 20–30 years old at the time of death.

Genetic Breakdown of Early Neolithic South Scandinavian Farmers Associated with the Funnel Beaker Culture (FBC) in Denmark 🇩🇰

The Funnel Beaker Culture (FBC) in Denmark was a significant Neolithic farming culture that thrived from approximately 3950 BC to 2800 BC. It succeeded the Ertebølle culture and was characterized by the use of distinctive funnel-necked beaker ceramics, hence its name. The culture introduced agriculture and animal husbandry to the region, replacing the previous hunter-gatherer lifestyle. People lived in longhouses and built megalithic tombs such as dolmens and passage graves. The Funnel Beaker Culture was eventually replaced by the Single Grave culture around 2800 BC.
