Made an update to the ”Ancestral Calculator”:

Added in the ”Corded Ware Pure Steppe” average in place of the individual CW samples

Steppe dna has been found in the Sredny Stog offshoots of Suvorovo (c. 4500 or 4400 BC) and Usatovo (4000 BC).

This info is from a very interesting lecture about Sredny Stog and their interactions with the EEF Trypilia culture. The video hints of an upcoming paper at the end of the year that will reveal more.

- steppe ancestry is present in Suvorovo samples but there is evidence of admixture with EEF along with an individual with just EEF ancestry. Suvorovo may be the source of proto-Anatolian. Suvorovo individuals have mtdna links to other Sredny related individuals.

- Usatovo samples also have steppe ancestry along with EEF admixture. Usatovo developed out of Suvorovo and Trypilia. An Usatovo individual has genetic links to a later Yamnaya, Catacomb, and Afanasievo samples as well as some link to Steppe Maykop in the Caucasus.

This is a big deal because this shows EEF and Sredny Stog were admixing very early (Suvorovo is estimated to have started 4500 or 4400 BC).

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.

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

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
