It looks like a real child of a Steppe parent and MN parent has been found in early Corded Ware Germany.
Eurogenes Blog: The puzzle of the early Corded Ware grave
DNA of three men was sequenced in 2015 in an early Corded Ware grave in Germany. All three had Y DNA R1a. Two had Steppe mtDNA haplogroups; U4 and J1b1a1. One had WHG/MN mtDNA; U5b1c2. The one with WHG/MN mtDNA clusters exactly half way between Middle Neolithic Germans and Corded Ware PCA. Therefore it's probable he had an MN mom and a Corded Ware/Steppe Dad.
He clusters with modern SouthCentral Europeans(Hungary, Croatia, etc.). Modern Central Europeans though probably aren't a simple 50/50 MN/Corded Wareish mixture. Their MN ancestors may have had more WHG and they probably have some post-Neolithic CHG/Iran Neo ancestry.
Anyways it's amazing to see admixture between Steppe and MN happen in real time.
