^^^ IMO this new paper will prove that PIE homeland = Middle Don River area and PGmc homeland = Nordic BA.
Supporters of "southern origins" (respectively Iran/Armenia for PIE and Jastorf for PGmc) will be disappointed.

Dude, this is the third time I‘m telling someone on this thread that my thread is NOT about PIE Homeland.
Also HGs from Middle Don being a source for Yamnaya is perfectly fine with my hypothesis that CHG/Iran-related and EHG-related groups mixed on the steppe. The source for CHG/Iran is either in the Lower Don or the Lower Volga, the former seems more likely according to this new paper.
"427 We demonstrate that this “steppe” ancestry (Steppe_5000BP_4300BP) can be modelled as a
428 mixture of ~65% ancestry related to herein reported hunter-gatherer genomes from the Middle Don
429 River region (MiddleDon_7500BP) and ~35% ancestry related to hunter-gatherers from Caucasus
430 (Caucasus_13000BP_10000BP) (Extended Data Fig. 4). Thus, Middle Don hunter-gatherers, who
431 already carry ancestry related to Caucasus hunter-gatherers (Fig. 2), serve as a hitherto unknown
432 proximal source for the majority ancestry contribution into Yamnaya genomes. The individuals in
433 question derive from the burial ground Golubaya Krinitsa (Supplementary Note 3). Material culture
434 and burial practices at this site are similar to the Mariupol-type graves, which are widely found in
435 neighbouring regions of Ukraine, for instance along the Dnepr River. They belong to the group of
436 complex pottery-using hunter-gatherers mentioned above, but the genetic composition at Golubaya
437 Krinitsa is different from the remaining Ukrainian sites (Fig 2A, Extended Data Fig. 4)."

So there is no ancestry from south of the Caucasus.
And 2/3 of Yamnaya ancestry is from Middle Don HG.
"Our results thus document genetic contact between populations from the Caucasus and the Steppe region as early as 7,300 years ago."
Where do they say where this southern ancestry comes from ? Nowhere it seems.
7300 years ago is 5300 BC, again this is perfectly fine with my hypothesis that they moved north from the southern Caucasus before 6500BC and then they mixed on the steppe for the most part.
From Caucasus_13000BP_10000BP ???
Pretty cool guy with R1b haplogroup:
"Mades�, NEO752; Jorl�se 03.06.06-53, Zealand. Wetland with bog skeleton
Anders Fischer and Lisbeth Pedersen
In a peat cutting area in Minor Aamose, next to Lake Mades�, a well-preserved human
cranium was found c. 1.75 m below surface. Museums have received several Stone Age
items from the same cutting, including two flint daggers of Late Neolithic date. They are all
interpreted as the result of sacrificial deposition - cf. text on Jorl�se Mose above. According
to a physical anthropological inspection of 1945 (K. Br�ste unpublished notes,
Anthropological Laboratory) the skull represents a male c. 50 years of age. It has healed
impact scars on its forehead and is characterised by unusually robust facial characteristics,
including ‘nearly ape-like eyebrows [supraorbital ridge]’ (Figure S6.14; cf.
comments as to a potential genetic background for these characteristics, mentioned within the above
presentation of the Borreby site). Via a radiocarbon date (3523�44 14C years BP, AAR-8302)
it can be dated to the South Scandinavian Late Neolithic."

There must be something wrong with the modeling. There is no way that these samples don't have any WHG or very little at least. Middle Don is probably picking up all the WHG in these Scandinavian samples, to compensate the lack of WHG in steppe.
Actually, I don't see Middle Don as good proxy for steppe ancestry. These are HGs that already have a small component of CHG/Iran but need additional 35%. What kind of stupid wording is this ? Instead they could have said they have to little CHG/Iran to be the proximal source for Yamnaya, just like Khavlynsk which also has a small component CHG/Iran but not enough.
Ed. for inappropriate material.
Members, please stay on topic.
How exactly do they determine the age, if all these natural finds should be the same as the planet.
Tomorrow it will be proved that Iran is the homeland of Indo-Europeans.
