New Mathison et al. 2017 prepint at bioRxiv The Genomic History Of Southeastern Europe. It includes new genomes including several from Eneolithic Ukraine. Two have a genetic structure similar to Corded Ware and the male belongs to Y DNA R1a M417 and mtDNA H2a1a.
I6561, Alexandria Ukraine, 3500 BC, Y DNA R1a M417, mtDNA H2a1a.
He might have all the EEF admixture Corded Ware needs which could mean Corded Ware people were straight migrants from the Steppe with no local admixture.
Apparently, he isn't labelled to any famous Eneolithic culture, he certainly wasn't a Yamnaya person. Maybe Corded Ware emerged from an Eneolithic Steppe people who left little traces in archaeology hence the debate in archaeology whether Corded Ware was indigenous to Central Europe or a newcomer from the Steppe.
So this is what we've got. An unamed Eneolithic R1a M417 ethnolingustic group first appears in Ukraine in 3500 BC. Then we see them all over Eastern Europe in 2500 BC and in Samara Russia in 2800 BC. Then much later we, in around 1800 BC, we see them in Central Asia and Siberia in the form of Andronovo and Sintashta. Around that time they arrived in South Asia and Afghanistan. Andronovo is the ancestor of the early historical Sycthians and Corded Ware is the main ancestor of modern Balts and many Slavic speakers.
