Angela you are the only one beside Noman who has little more Karasuk Scythian scores. Noman make sense him being also a Indo_Iranian speaker. But your results are out of the ordinary. There is definitely something Alan like going on in your heritage.
I also score the East African 2.1% it is very similar figure to matadworf and Nomans s so I doubt his has anything to do with ancient Ethopians in Greece or Rajasthan. Rather ancient Natufian/Levant_Neo like DNA in East Africa.
What else I have in common with matadworfs is the South Eurasian. Greek and Indo_Iranian speakers must be from a similar source that still had traces of this ancestry?
I am the person with the highest extra Iran_Neo/CHG scores here so far.
And not atypical for a non European, I have zero real WHG ancestry.
That all makes sense to me, including the fact that there is something weird in the level of my "Scythian" versus other "steppe" ancestry. I really can't explain it. I do see that there were Sarmatian, not Alan, settlements near my father's area, but I'm usually pretty leery of small migrations like that really impacting the genome, and moreover lasting for 1500 years. It may have something to do with the fact that some people fled up into the Apennines in the Dark Ages and remained there until the early part of the 20th century. Drift may have done the rest.
Steppe: 25.7
E.Karakuk, Scythian 12.6
Andronovo/Srubnaya 5.3
Yamnaya 7.8
How I wish I had had the opportunity to have him tested.
